When it comes to lighting a marquee you will find that you have several different kinds of lighting that you can choose from, much more than you would find at other venues. What many people do not actually realize that installing marquee lighting is much simpler than they would have first thought.

The type of lighting used in a marquee can affect the way it looks and also feels. However, there are certain things you need to take into consideration in relation to marquee lighting. First off make sure that all the lighting being used by the marquee hire company is regularly checked and tested, this way you won't have to worry about anything failing. Also make sure that they have all the equipment insured and that they provide a backup system in case the main system does fail.

Once the company has been found that is suitable for installing your marquee lighting you now need to decide just what kind of lighting it is you want in your marquee. In fact you may find that you need to have a couple different types installed and below we now take a look at what some of these are.

Fairy or Rope Lights - These are ideal for hanging around the inside of the marquee and will create a much more romantic and warm feel to the area. This is the kind of lighting that is most often used to provide illumination to marquees where a wedding reception or anniversary party is taking place.

Also you could actually string this type of lighting across the marquee roof inside to create the illusion of a night sky. Most often this type of lighting effect is situated above a marquee dance floor as it provides a more intimate feel to this area.

Uplighters - If you want to create a warm feel at the edges of the marquee and to hide unsightly items then this type of lighting is perfect. However this type of lighting can also be used to help accentuate areas by having coloured bulbs put into them.

Chandeliers - With this type of marquee lighting you can create a very dramatic look to the decor of the tent. It is best if you use this type of lighting over those areas where it is needed the most or to highlight a specific area, for example where the bride and groom or the couple celebrating their anniversary will be sat.

Lanterns and Floodlights - Most often this type of marquee lighting is used to provide guests with illumination as they make their way towards it. It is important with all types of lighting used outside that the plugs and sockets of these are well protected to ensure that no moisture can get into them.

The person who is actually installing the marquee lighting for you should be a qualified electrician. In fact you should check with the marquee hire company that the people they employ to install their marquee lighting has the appropriate qualifications, if not then find another company who does.
