A night to remember

Solus Lighting LTD was pleased to provide the décor lighting for a b'nai mitzvah this past weekend.  Ninety percent of the lighting elements consisted of LED lighting fixtures.  There were sculptures around the edge of the room that were lit with led strip lights.  Other elements included under table lighting, which were lit with wireless led fixtures.  Wireless led fixtures is something that we haven't talked about too much here on the blog.  The advantages of wireless fixtures, is that there is no power or data cable running to these fixtures.  So when a client wants their spandex covered tables to glow and change color, there is no better choice than a wireless led fixture -- no cables, and no heat generated from the light source.  Another element the decorator used was six 10' tall white corrugated plastic columns.  These columns were used as set pieces for the dj booth on the stage.  We, again, used the wireless led fixtures inside the bottom of the columns for amazing bold colors that changed through out the night.  Check out some pics below.  More pictures can be found on our website and Facebook page.  We have also posted some videos of the fixtures in action on our You Tube page.

Update...Solus blog 2011

Solus Lighting LTD was the exclusive special event lighting company to participate in the "I Do" Bridal Soirée at the 100th Bomb Group last week and it was a bridal show to remember.  We had the pleasure of lighting up the Jeffrey Room for the mock reception for brides-to-be to get ideas for their upcoming wedding receptions.  Our previous blog post showed the before shots of the space, and here we are featuring the shots of the final outcome.

The lighting for the event featured; uplighting the walls of the entire space, a custom wedding projection on the dance floor, the pinspotting (highlighting) of all of the table centerpieces and lighting the food stations and bar.  Please check out our wedding info page on our website for more explanation of how these features can help enhance your wedding reception!  More pictures can be found on our Facebook page, as well as in our design gallery on our website.

SLL @ the "I Do" Bridal Soirée

Solus Lighting LTD is gearing up for another bridal show.  The "I Do" Bridal Soirée is coming up next Thursday, October 20th 2011, at the 100th Bomb Group.  Solus Lighting LTD is honored to be the exclusive lighting vendor of the Jeffrey Room.  We, along with other great vendors, will be setting up the Jeffrey Room just as we would if it were a real wedding reception.  We love the concept that Amy Nixon of Amy Nixon Events, LLC came up with for this bridal show and we jumped at the chance to be involved.

Record setting weekend for Solus Lighting LTD

After 6 shows in 5 days, over 700 miles driven and the dust cleared, the first weekend of October was record setting for Solus Lighting LTD.  The weekend included a bridal show, two weddings, a corporate gala, a corporate awards dinner and a theatrical show thrown in for good measure!  We implemented several different lighting concepts and effects to keep up with the themes of the events.  The weekend featured a custom gobo, turning a courtyard into a sapphire wonderland of shimmering lighting effects, and plenty of uplighting.  Take a look at some of the shots below, and you can check out more in our design gallery on our website as well as on our Facebook fan page.

What did you do Labor Day weekend?

Solus Lighting LTD was busy, as usual.  However, we got to do something a little out of the ordinary for us.  We lit the Glockenspiel at the 2011 Cleveland Labor Day Oktoberfest.  Fun was had by all in attendance, especially when the Glockenspiel show's got rolling, every hour on the hour.
