Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the Right Setup
- What lighting do I need for my event?
The best setup depends on your event type, venue size and desired atmosphere.
Small parties often only need 1–2 lights.
Garage and backyard parties usually benefit from 1–2 disco lights, a smoke machine or hazer, and some LED spotlights.
18ths and 21sts often include lasers, smoke, spotlights and speakers.
Kids parties typically work best with colourful disco lights, speakers and spotlights.
- Is setup easy?
Yes. All products are designed to be simple and beginner-friendly.
Most are plug-and-play and can be operating within minutes. Instructions are provided and support is available if needed.
- Will one light be enough?
In some cases, yes. For smaller spaces such as living rooms or garages, a single disco light combined with a smoke machine can create a surprisingly strong effect.
For medium to larger spaces, we usually recommend two disco lights plus a smoke machine, or one disco light, LED spotlights and a smoke machine. Smoke often improves the effect more than simply adding another light.
- Do I need a smoke machine with lasers?
We strongly recommend it. Without smoke or haze, lasers mainly project patterns onto walls and ceilings. With smoke or haze, you’ll see the laser beams through the air, creating the effect most people expect. Smoke also improves many disco lights.
- Where should I place the lights for the best effect?
Disco lights work best elevated in corners and aimed across the room towards walls and ceilings.
LED spotlights work best at the base of walls aimed upwards.
Smoke machines should be placed safely on the floor in a corner with nothing blocking the output.
Spread lights around the room rather than clustering them together.
- Will the lights work in my space?
Most likely, yes. We’ve seen great results in garages, backyards, living rooms, community halls, school halls and dance studios. Room darkness and light placement are usually more important than room size.
- What products create the biggest impact?
Our most common recommendations are
- Disco Light + Smoke Machine
- Laser + Smoke Machine, and
- LED Spotlights around the room.
Smoke makes beams visible through the air, while spotlights create atmosphere throughout the space. A combination of lighting effects almost always creates a better result than one larger light.
- What products are best for kids parties?
Popular Kids Party Setup:
- 7-Light Moonflower
- Butterfly LED
- Speaker
- 2–4 LED Spotlights.
- UV lighting is also great for glow parties.
We generally recommend colourful room-filling effects rather than lasers or heavy strobing for younger children.
- What products are best for 18ths and 21sts?
Popular Milestone Party Setup:
- 2 Disco Lights
- Laser
- Smoke Machine or Hazer
- 2–6 LED Spotlights
- Speaker (with microphone if needed).
This provides atmosphere lighting, dance floor effects and audio for speeches or announcements.

Pickup, Delivery & Support

Our products are designed for easy self-setup and include instructions and support if needed.
- Can I make changes to my booking after it has been confirmed?
Usually, yes. We understand event plans can change, and we’re generally flexible with adding products, adjusting booking details or changing pickup arrangements where possible.

All equipment is tested and checked before every hire. In the unlikely event that an issue occurs, we’re available via phone or text to help troubleshoot and get you up and running.
- What is the duration of the hire period?
Most customers collect products 1–2 days before their event and return them 1–2 days afterwards, depending on availability. This gives you plenty of time to collect, set up and return the equipment without feeling rushed.
Safety-Reliability

Yes. All electrical equipment is regularly tested, tagged, cleaned and maintained. Every product is checked before hire to ensure it is operating correctly and ready for use.
