Battery Uplights

Wireless LED Uplighting for Events

If you're running events, managing a rental inventory, or outfitting a venue, battery-powered uplights have become the standard rather than the exception. No cable runs, no tripping hazards, no compromising on placement. 

At Square Cable, we stock a curated lineup of battery-powered uplight fixtures from the brands that pros trust: Ape Labs, Chauvet DJ, JMAZ, Blizzard Lighting, Prost, and more. From compact mini pars to heavy-duty IP65-rated outdoor units, we've got the right fixture for your setup, and wholesale pricing for accounts that need volume.

Battery Uplight FAQs

Can I control these wirelessly from a lighting console, or do I need a separate RF transmitter? 

Depends on the fixture. Most battery uplights support RF remote control out of the box. For full DMX-over-wireless integration, you'll typically need a CRMX or D-Fi transmitter; units like the Ape Labs Marvel Pix and Chauvet Freedom series are built with this in mind.

Are these IP-rated for outdoor use, or just indoor events? 

It varies by unit. Several fixtures in this lineup, including the JMAZ Mad Par RB and Ape Labs Can 2+, carry IP65 ratings and are fully sealed for outdoor use. Always verify the IP rating before deploying in rain-exposed environments.

How do runtime and battery life hold up at full output during a long event? 

At full brightness, most units run 4–8 hours depending on color mix and output level. Running at 50–70% intensity is common practice for rental fleets; you'll see runtime stretch significantly without a noticeable visual difference on most gig sizes.

Can I add individual units to an existing battery uplight rig, or do fixtures need to be matched by brand for wireless control? 

Generally, wireless control is brand- or protocol-specific. RF remotes and app control typically only work within the same ecosystem. If you're running a mixed-brand inventory, plan on using separate control channels or a DMX wireless transmitter that's compatible across fixtures.
