Hi-Lights™ are large fabric shapes that contain a fan and an internal light. The fan blows them up and keeps them inflated while the light makes them glow. Although primarily used for décor and lighting in the evenings, Hi-Lights™ can also be used as a decorative element during the day.
They can be set up in many different ways: standing, suspended, or hung on a Stand-Out!™ System. They can also be branded with logos and messages. With care, they can be used indoors or outdoors for an extended amount of time.
AirDD offers Hi-Lights™ for purchase or rent. You can install them yourselves or hire our expert design and installation team.

A standing Hi-Light™ includes a sturdy, lightweight base that contains a sound-insulated blower and lights. The standard base is 30” in diameter and comes with 4 internal light sockets. Set up is in a matter of minutes! Set the base, screw in the bulbs, attach the fabric envelope with Velcro, and plug in!
-
Stand-Out systems are made of pipes and connectors that are lightweight and easy to ship. Each configuration comes with an illustrated PDF instruction sheet.
The connectors and pipes can be twisted and turned on site as needed. All elements are dressed in black fabric that can be easily adjusted with Velcro. Each Stand-Out!™ requires sandbags for stability and safety. Minimum weight is 150 pounds; additional weight may be required. It is the user’s responsibility to determine the sand weight that is needed under the specific conditions on site.

Standard Hi-Light™ fabric is white for maximum versatility and best glow effect. You can color Hi-Lights™ from within in the following ways:
Gel: We can gel the bulbs to a color of your choosing.
LED Lights: Specially designed for AirDD for the Suspended Hi-Lights. Omnidirectional, RPG, remote-controlled and DMX compatible. Options for standing Hi-Lights also available.
Fabric: “Color” Hi-Lights™ by adding a second layer of fabric to the Hi-Light™ (available for some designs only) or order them in a color of your choosing. Recommended for day use and available in the following flame retardant fabric colors: yellow, orange, red, green, purple, royal blue, gray, and black.
-
Most suspended Hi-Lights™ require 1 amp of power (0.5 amp each for the fan and lamp). Most standing Hi-Lights™ require up to 3 amps total for the fan and lamp.
Airtubes® require anywhere fro 1.5 to 2.5 amps of power depending on the size of the installation. One Airtube® blower is enough to inflate approximately 1000 feet of Airtube®.
-
Energy Efficient: Most Hi-Lights use either compact fluorescent or LED bulbs and only require 1-3 amps of power.
Minimal Carbon Emission: Because they are lightweight and compact, Hi-Lights leave a minimal carbon footprint during shipping.
Reusable: Hi-Lights can be used over and over again. With reasonable care, it may take years before a Hi-Light is ready to “retire.”
-
Hi-Lights™ are machine washable.
TO WASH:
Detach the Hi-Light fabric from the fan.
Spray soiled area with pre-wash remover, such as “Simple Green.”
Wash one Hi-Light per machine.
Use non-chlorine bleach.
Set the cycle to gentle cycle on cold with minimal rinsing and one load larger than it actually is (i.e. small load should be set to medium load).
TO DRY:
Do not machine dry.
Line dry only.
To complete the drying process, inflate and let air dry when damp.
*Please Note: As with all fabric, some stains cannot be removed and some dirt may dye the fabric. If that is the case, maybe it is time to replace the Hi-Light™ with a new one.
