Where does the budget go first?

Light and sound before anything else — a room reads as a club through those two. Lasers, haze and LED floors come next; scent and holograms last.

Why use haze with lasers?

Haze gives beams something to catch, so the effects read across the room. In clean air a laser beam is nearly invisible.

Can you size the rig to the room?

Yes. Send ceiling height, floor area and whether it is a listed building, and we'll size laser power, coverage and rigging to it.

Dancefloor Lighting, Lasers & Club Effects

Lighting

Lighting splits into two purchases that rarely happen together: fixtures overhead, which go in during the fit-out and stay for a decade, and table lamps, which get replaced whenever the room is restyled.

Sound systems

Speakers, amplifiers and zoned audio. Zoning is the part worth paying for: it lets a dining room stay at conversation level while the bar twenty metres away runs loud, off the same system.

Effects

Stage and DJ lighting, laser projectors, fog and haze, LED floors. Haze is the one to buy first — without something in the air, a laser is an invisible line between the projector and the wall, and the lighting rig you pa

Flame & spark machines

DMX flame projectors and cold spark fountains — the club effects fired on cue from the lighting desk. Cold sparks are the ones that go indoors and over a dance floor: the plume looks like pyrotechnics but runs far cooler

Projectors

Two machines under one word. A gobo projector throws a single fixed mark — a logo on a pavement, a pattern on a ceiling — and runs all night on 15 W. A mapping rig covers a whole surface in moving image, and has to be bu

Video projectors

Commercial projectors for a venue — 4K units that throw a 60 to 200 inch picture on a wall or screen for match nights, screenings and branded content. A projector for restaurant use is normally judged on noise and lamp l

LED screens & video walls

Modular LED panels and large-format displays that build a wall out of tiles. Pixel pitch is the number to ask about: it sets the closest a viewer can stand before an LED display screen breaks into dots, and it is why a s

3D hologram & volumetric

Holographic fans and volumetric units that hang an image in the air above a counter. Worth knowing before buying: the effect depends on a dark background behind it, so a fan in a bright window is money spent on something

Aroma & scent machines

Aroma diffusers that scent a room through the ventilation or from a standalone unit in the corner. Coverage is what separates them: a cold-air diffuser sized for a lobby will not do the job in a corridor, and the other w
