To our valued clients and partners,

John Farr Lighting Design is, and always has been, committed to providing creative and fun events to our clients, many of whom are now working from home. During these uncertain times, let us provide the creativity to you, your family and/or friends with Drive-Thru Uplighting.

We are pleased to launch Drive-Thru Uplighting, installed around your vehicle with minimal person-to-person contact. You never have to get out of your car. Your spouse can remain asleep in the passenger seat. Children may remain safely strapped in their car seat. Designed to light cars and SUV's of up to four passengers, our lights will be fully charged in their containers. You may choose from a selection colors and gobos.

In accordance with CDC guidelines, we will be using a minimal person-to-person contact install system -- our Technicians will install the lights at each client’s vehicle as you drive up and will allow you a full 10 minutes to enjoy the effect. Clients will then receive an Official Confirmation E-mail and Photo
of the services completed.

Client and team safety are our top priority. We continue to implement the best practices in public health, specified by the CDC, FDA, ASPCA and ACDRA, as well as a consultation by Ray Bialek, so you know it’s got to be good.

Schedule Drive-Thru Uplighting now until April 1st through your account executive. Call 301-390-2728 or e-mail [email protected] to schedule your appointment.

03/18/2020

No doubt your inbox has been inundated with emails about Coronavirus from your vendors, colleagues, clients and companies you haven't even heard from in years. We're not going to regurgitate the CDC guidelines, or tell you about how we're handling this pandemic. We just want to say hang in there. We're all in this together. Give us a call when you're ready.

"I just got engaged!"
Does it seem like everyone got engaged lately? You're not imagining it. Studies show that 42% of couples get engaged between Thanksgiving and Valentines' Day. The holidays seem to bring out the romance in people. For the events industry, that means clients are calling to book venues, wedding planners, caterers and ....book their lighting company!

If you or someone you know just said "Yes!", now is the time to give us a call. We can offer referrals to wedding professionals and help you or your recently engaged friends design a uniquely creative wedding with lighting design, staging, and draping. We offer creative design ideas, affordable pricing, and solutions to venue challenges from barns to mansions. Spring and Fall weekends are the most popular days to get married, so get your event date secured with us as soon as possible!

Pixel Mapping Freedom Sticks

John Farr Lighting Design recently invested in the Chauvet Freedom Stick fixtures. These are tubes of LED pixels about 5' tall, battery powered, with wireless control. We had a bit of fun pixel mapping them in the warehouse in an upright position, but we see a lot of potential in using these as part of a stage set for a Mitz Vah or a corporate event. Or perhaps a cluster of them hanging from the ceiling of a tent. The possibilities are endless. Want them as a part of your next event? Call us.
