No matter what types of art and design you may be interested in, there is no denying that light plays a very important role in the way you visually experience things. This means that if you do hope to make a display more impressive, one of the first things you should consider is changing your source of light.

Over the past few decades, holiday light enthusiasts from around the world have consistently been moving towards the use of LED Lights. When compared to previous options, these lights are better for the environment, more efficient, stronger, and capable of creating more complex displays.

Within the broader category of LED Lights, RGB Lights have particularly become quite popular. These lights maintain all of the benefits of LED technology while also making it possible to create displays with many different colors. RGB Lights have become especially popular among lighting professionals, though their use for residential displays has also been consistently on the rise.

In this article, we will discuss the most important things for you to know about RGB lighting and how you can effectively create an RGB lighting display. Though creating the lighting display of your dreams may not always be easy, having access to multi-colored technology can help significantly increase your options.

 

Different Uses of RGB Lighting

When compared to other types of LED lights, RGB lights are considerably more adaptable. Essentially, any situation where multiple different colors, flashing lights, or other complex features may be used, an RGB lighting display might be your best option.

RGB lights get their name from the three colors of lights that each of them contain—red, green, and blue. However, contrary to popular belief, just because these are the only three bulbs being used, that doesn’t mean other colors are unavailable. RGB lights can be used to create almost any color imaginable—purple, gold, orange, even white—due to the unique colors that these properties possess.

Here are some of the situations that RGB lights are most frequently used:

●       Professional outdoor lighting displays—parks, public squares, commercial districts, streets, offices, etc.

●       Concerts, sporting events, and other events where lighting features may be required.

●       Architectural lighting—using lights to help illustrate the dominant features of homes and other buildings.

●       Various marketing and advertising features.

 

These are just a few of the different instances where you might find RGB lights being used. There are many different varieties of lights and accessories that are available, meaning that you are certainly not without adaptable options.

 

Enhancing Your Display with RGB Lighting Accessories

If you are creating lights for a full-on commercial display, then you will certainly need to look for the lighting brands and accessories that can help you get the job done. With regards to RGB lights, Minleon RGBs are among the best-selling brands that are currently available.

Minleon RGBs have been recognized for their commitment to higher quality, long-lasting displays, and various technological innovations. When purchasing an RGB lighting display (whether Minleon or any other brand), you will need to think about the accessories and controllers you are purchasing as well.

Here are some of the most common accessories that are purchased alongside RGB lights:

●       Pebble Mounting clips, gutter mounting clips (used to help discretely keep lights in place)

●       Smart T, Power T, and Regular T (helps organize cord layout)

●       Various other cables, cords, and extensions

 

These accessories will make it much easier for you to create a display that is compatible with your original vision. Furthermore, you will also likely need to purchase a corresponding controller.

●       RGB 4-Port Network Data Box with Power 24V

●       Network effects Controller

●       Network Data Box for RGB

●       RGB Wi-Fi Effects Controller

●       Minleon RGB Mini Controller

 

With the right controller, you will be able to control animations, coordinate different light displays, and make adaptations on the fly. Though RGB lights are considerably more expensive than the generic light strings you may find at your local hardware store, these lights are able to get the job done where others simply cannot.

 

Things to Keep in Mind When Creating an RGB Lighting Display

Even once you have decided to create a lighting display, there are still several other important decisions that you will need to make. You will start by choosing to purchase LED or non-LED lights and you will then need to decide if the lights you purchase will be of the RGB variety. However, even then, there are still a few more important details that will need to be carefully considered.

When shopping around for RGB lights, there are several things you should keep in mind:

●       How big is the space you are working with? How many lights will be required in order to adequately fill that space?

●       What is your current power situation (number of outlets, available wattage, etc.)?

●       Are the lights being used for personal or commercial purposes?

●       Is this display one that will be kept up all year or only used during certain seasons?

●       What special features are you hoping to incorporate into your display?

As you would probably expect, the more complex your display will be, the more it will probably cost. Because of this, it is important to determine as many details in advance as you feasibly can—this way, you will avoid paying for features or services that you don’t really need.

 

Selecting the Lights for Your Display

The last major decision you will need to make is who will be your RGB lighting provider. Some individuals prefer to purchase from wholesale lighting providers and then install their display on their own. Others, on the contrary, prefer to work with a full-service firm that will help create the lighting display for them.

The world of RGB lighting gives you a wide array of different opportunities. When selecting the lights that will be used for your display variables such as your budget, your existing setup, and the qualifications of the potential companies will all need to be considered. Taking the time to find a reliable lighting partner will inevitably be worth the effort.

 

Conclusion

As we move further into the 21^st Century, technologies such as RGB lighting have opened the gates to a whole new world of creative possibilities. These are among the best lights available for commercial, private, and special events. They may be exactly what you need to help your lighting display stand out.
