Standard vs DMX Table Centres for Show-Stopping Events

When it comes to table centre lighting for events, not all systems are created equal. At Table Art, we offer two powerful options to suit your event’s needs: our standard lighting system and our state-of-the-art DMX lighting technology. Whether you’re planning a gala, awards ceremony, or a high-end corporate event, understanding the difference between the two can help you create the perfect atmosphere.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the features, benefits, and use cases of both lighting options. We’ll also share an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how our lighting systems are charged, tested, and deployed, thanks to our new Blender animation—perfect for those who love a peek into the magic behind the scenes.

Let's start with the basics...

What is Standard Table Centre Lighting?

Our standard lighting system is a reliable, cost-effective solution ideal for smaller events or simple setups where uniform colour and ease of use are the top priority.

Key Features:

Single-colour lighting throughout the event
Operates on internal batteries, pre-set before dispatch
Lights turn on automatically once removed from the charging bay
No remote control or adjustment once deployed

Standard lighting provides a clean and consistent glow that enhances any centrepiece, from floral displays to our iconic branded cylinders.

DMX Lighting:

Elevate Your Event with Dynamic Control

For those looking to make a serious impact, our DMX table centre lighting is the gold standard.

DMX (Digital Multiplex) technology gives you total remote control of your table centre lighting—from brightness and colour to pulsating effects and musical synchronisation. This system is ideal for events where lighting is not just décor, but part of the entertainment.

Real-World Time

Awards Night Transformed with our Neon Rings

At a recent corporate awards evening, our client opted for DMX Neon Ring table centres. As the winners were announced, lights on the winning tables lit up in gold while others remained in a soft red. This subtle but powerful detail turned a standard awards night into a fully interactive experience.
