GDS Lights San Francisco City Hall

San Francisco’s City Hall was a unique and beautiful venue for a recent private party.  The main floor interior was bathed in dramatic colours by LiteWareHO (High Output),GDS’s wireless LED battery-powered uplighter.

Allegra Entertainment & Events, a full-service entertainment, production and event-planning firm in Burlingame, California and a preferred vendor for, the City of San Francisco, teamed up with award-winning Little Rock-based interior designer Kaki Hockersmith for the event.  The elegantly-restored City Hall, which was rebuilt in 1915 following the great earthquake, is a favorite spot for corporate receptions and social galas.

Allegra handled the event production and execution and found that the LiteWareHO provided solutions to a number of lighting challenges.

Allegra president Kier LaCrosse, Prisedent of Allegra and the event’s show producer and lighting designer commented: -

 “We had only a little over an hour to set up the venue, the lights were quick to set up and took no time to work.  They were also easy to program via DMX wireless control of colour changes.  The colours of the fixtures are amazing.  We were able to see the colour from the party on the main floor all the way up to the dome of the rotunda.”

The LiteWare Uplighters accented the City Hall’s Beaux Art interior by bathing its columns and pilasters, pediments, arches and intricate carvings with dramatic hues of purple and russet.

“The Uplighters were fantastic,” Lacrosse added.  “We received a ton of comments about their awesome look.”
