Why Wedding Djs Love The Evolights Vintage 500?

The Evolights Vintage 500 lighting fixtures have become increasingly popular among wedding DJs, particularly those working with retro, industrial, and boho themes. Their aesthetics and functionality perfectly align with the needs and visual preferences of these events. Made of metal, with a pleasing round shape, the design of these lamps is not only suitable for stage performances but also adds a charming detail to wedding settings.

In stage lighting, these lamps can be hung, but at weddings, they are usually placed on stands. Wedding DJs often use Gravity stands or custom-made wooden stands with metal elements. The retro design of the lamps complements wooden stands beautifully, while standard Gravity stands provide a modern look for industrial venues.

High light output and dynamic effects for wedding DJs

These lamps generate significant light output thanks to bulbs with power ratings of 300 or 500 watts. It’s important to note that the bulbs, or rather the filaments, are not included in the set. Additionally, each fixture is equipped with 27 half-watt RGB LEDs, allowing for the creation of both sharp and subtle lighting effects.

While the lamp might display a specific color in photos, people standing in front of the lamp won’t be illuminated in that color. The lights are fully DMX controllable, enabling effects like strobe and blinding lights, which can be used for ambient lighting during dinner or dynamic effects during dancing.

Creative configurations

Most wedding DJs use four lamps in a single setup, typically placed at various heights. There are also mixed setups, such as two moving heads and two retro lamps, or two moving heads with four retro lamps. A creative application involves placing the lamps not just on the stage but also to the sides or opposite the stage, creating side or backlighting effects. This approach results in captivating visuals for photos and videos.
