Uplighting Battery Operated Wedding Up Wireless DMX 108W

The ILED-FEL-X4-X1 is the fixture that wedding and event venues actually mean when they say uplighting: a can that sits on the floor against the wall, throws a wash of colour up the pillar, the drape or the stonework, and does it on battery so the ballroom floor carries no cables. It is built for the rental houses and planners who rig a dozen fixtures around a room in twenty minutes and take them down before the catering arrives.

The uplight position

Uplighting works because the light source sits at the bottom of the surface it is lighting. The X4-X1 stands upright on the floor, and the beam leaves the fixture angled up the wall, which is why the room reads as lit even though the ceiling stays dark. The 15° lens throws a defined column up a pillar or a marquee pole; the 40° lens opens into the broad wash that covers a drape or a wall section. The angle is fixed per fixture and chosen at order time against the surfaces the room has.

RGBWAUV colour

The engine is a 6-in-1 RGBWAUV array with 16.7 million colour combinations. The white channel gives a clean architectural wash for the room reveal. The amber channel warms the stonework and the drapes past what red and green mixing produces. The UV channel is the one that runs the fluorescent effect for the party after the dinner, and it is the channel most 5-in-1 uplights leave out. Colour is matched across a room of fixtures from the control system, so the pillars all read the same shade at the same time.

Battery and charging

The built-in 9600mAh 18650 lithium battery is what keeps the ballroom floor clear. Runtime depends on how hard the fixture is driven, so a dim amber wash runs the whole event while a full-output colour show plans around a recharge. The AC100-250V input charges the fixture between events and powers it on mains where the venue offers a floor box, so the same fixture serves the tent wedding on battery and the hotel ballroom on mains.

Control without a console

Most wedding rigs do not carry a lighting desk, and the X4-X1 is built for that. Wired DMX512 and 2.4G wireless DMX512 are there for the shows that run one, master-slave links a room of fixtures to the first one, self-propelled programs run without any controller, and the infrared remote and WiFi phone app for Apple and Android cover the setup on the day. Channel modes are 6, 8 or 10.

Build and installation

The body is aluminum with the shell as the heat sink, so the fixture is silent during the speeches. Three mounting modes, standing, surface-mounted or hanging, cover the floor position, the pillar bracket and the truss. Output is 54W, the rating is IP42 for dry indoor venues, and the fixture charges from any AC100-250V supply at 50/60Hz, so it travels internationally without a transformer. There are no fans in the body: the aluminum shell is the heat sink, which is why a room of them runs silent under the speeches and the toasts.

Where it gets used

Wedding receptions, where a ring of uplights turns a plain ballroom into the room the couple booked. Marquees and tents, where the poles and the linings take the colour. Hotels and function rooms, where the venue’s own lighting stops at the ceiling. Corporate events and product launches, where the brand colour washes the back wall from the battery. And churches and ceremony rooms, where the uplight warms the stone behind the ceremony without touching the building.

What to check at order time

Three decisions shape the order: the lens angle against the surfaces the room has, the number of fixtures against the perimeter the colour has to cover, and the DMX channel mode against the control system the show runs. The fixtures arrive with the battery built in and the mounting modes covering standing, surface and hanging, so a rental house can put the same unit on a ballroom floor, a marquee pole bracket or a truss without changing hardware.

Why do buyers pick the ILED-FEL-X4-X1 over the alternatives? Here is what we hear from customers:

No cables on the ballroom floor. The whole point of battery uplighting: the fixtures go against the walls where there are no sockets, and the trip hazard and the tape job disappear. Rig time drops to minutes per fixture.

The UV channel is on board. Most uplights stop at RGBWA. This one adds UV for the party-after-dinner fluorescent looks, on the same engine that runs the amber and white washes for the room reveal.

Room-wide colour matching. Wired or 2.4G wireless DMX, master-slave linking and the phone app all hold a dozen fixtures on the same shade at the same time, which is what makes the room read as designed rather than as a row of separate lamps.

Silent during the speeches. The aluminum shell is the heat sink, so there are no fans running under the top table.

Built for the rental cycle. AC100-250V charging works on any tour supply, the aluminum body takes the van-and-case life, and the standing or bracket mounts cover the positions a venue throws at the crew.

The ILED-FEL-X4-X1 is the wedding uplight: it stands on the floor against the surfaces that make the room, runs on battery, and holds a dozen fixtures on one colour.

Wedding receptions. A ring of uplights on the pillars and the drapes, matched to the flowers on the app, holds through the speeches on battery and shifts to the party colours after the dinner, with the UV channel running the fluorescence for the last set.

Marquees and tents. The poles and the linings take the 15° columns and the 40° washes, and the battery keeps the guy lines and the flooring clear of cable runs. AC100-250V charging covers the marquee generator between events.

Hotels and function rooms. Where the venue’s own lighting stops at the ceiling, the uplights finish the room: standing against the pillars, on mains where the floor box offers power and on battery where it does not.

Corporate events and launches. The brand colour washes the back wall and the entrance columns, matched room-wide over wireless DMX or master-slave, and comes down after the show without an electrician.

Ceremony rooms and churches. The warm amber end of the range lifts the stone behind the ceremony without touching the building, and the fixtures arrive in the morning and leave after the reception on one charge.
