Lighting for Causes & Awareness

If you’re looking for ways to temporarily spread awareness, there are plenty of ways to illuminate your structure with your existing lighting infrastructure or rental equipment!

 

Whether you are looking to temporarily illuminate a structure or permanently transform your building, lighting architecture properly can transform a dark, bland building, structure or storefront into a beautiful treasure especially during events, holidays and campaign awareness initiatives.  

If you’re looking for ways to temporarily spread awareness, there are plenty of ways to illuminate your structure with your existing lighting infrastructure or rental equipment using standard color filters, LED color mixing and gobos. 

Check out our examples and commonly used colors for illuminating for awareness and events below.

Illuminate your Windows

Illuminating your windows can create eye catching visuals from the street. Whether you’re promoting an upcoming event or conveying messages of hope, lighting from the inside is an easy route to spread awareness.

Illuminate Inside

Illuminating the inside of your venue is a great way to show impact during an awareness campaign or event. For Red Alert Restart, we were proud to illuminate empty stages in order to support our local venues during the difficult COVID-19 pandemic to push support for the Save Our Stages and Restart Act for a dramatic visualization in support of a powerful campaign.
