Glow Pack vs Party Pack: Which Add On Suits Your Night?

A straight comparison of the Glow Pack and the Party Pack so you can pick the right effects bundle for your Perth event in two minutes.

Both packs add atmosphere, but they do different jobs. The short version: the Party Pack is your all rounder for movie nights and birthdays, and the Glow Pack is built for a full UV neon night. Here is how to choose.

$2803m screen, all-inclusive
$6005m community screen

All-inscreen, PA, setup, pack-down

UV blacklight is the core of a glow night.

What is in each

  • Party Pack: smoke machine, bubble machine and laser light. The classic effects trio that suits almost any event. Full breakdown in what is in the Party Pack.
  • Glow Pack: six UV blacklight bars plus two JBL Party Box speakers. Built to wash a whole space in UV and bring the sound for a glow or neon night.

Pick the Party Pack if

  • You are running a backyard movie night and want the film to start with a bit of theatre
  • It is a kids birthday and bubbles plus a laser will keep the energy up
  • You want one flexible bundle that works indoors or out

Pick the Glow Pack if

  • The theme is glow, neon or UV and you want the whole room to react
  • It is a teen party and you need real sound for dancing
  • You are lighting a larger space and one laser will not cut it

Can you have both?

Yes, and for a lot of events that is the sweet spot. Run the Glow Pack for the party itself, then use the smoke and laser from the Party Pack when you roll into a movie so the lasers cut through the haze. If you are doing a teen night, our glow and movie night combo guide walks through the run sheet.

The simple rule

Movie night or mixed birthday: Party Pack. Glow or neon themed night with dancing: Glow Pack. Big night that wants both: hire the two together.

Still not sure? Tell us the event, the age group and the space and we will recommend the right combination. Get in touch, browse cinema hire options, or check your date.

Hosting a Glow Night in Perth

For a glow night, the glow packages bring UV bars that light up white and neon across a whole backyard or hall, and the Party Pack layers on lasers, disco lights and haze. A blacklit outdoor movie on the 3m screen, or the 5m for a bigger group, closes the night.

Our glow party ideas guide has the full breakdown, and the contact page is where you send us your space and guest count.

What to Expect on the Night

Before guests arrive we build the UV lighting and the screen, placing each bar so the whole room glows instead of one corner. Point the UV bars inward from the edges and add a touch of haze, and the entire yard or hall lights up in white and neon.

What you supply, what we bring

Your part is the space, power and the film. Ours is the UV bars, the Party Pack effects if booked, the screen, projector and PA, plus delivery and setup. Ask guests to wear white or neon and the lighting handles the rest.

What Every Hire Includes

On any screen, the price covers everything: the screen, a matched projector, a professional PA, all cabling, delivery, setup and pack-down. Expect about half an hour to set up the 3m, and a little longer for the community screens, which come fully operated.

What you supply

Bring only the space, a power point and the film on your own device, since the technical work stays with us. If power sits a walk from the dancefloor, the silent battery inverter means the only sound is the film and the music. Use our screen size guide to fit the screen to your guest list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Party Pack costs $250 for 48 hours and covers smoke, bubbles, lasers, disco lights and UV, while the glow packages add extra UV and lasers for a full glow night. We aim the haze across the projector beam instead of into the lens, and keep lasers off the screen surface.
For a glow night, the 3m inflatable screen starts from $280, the 5m community screen from $600 and the 8m from $1,100, with projector, PA, delivery, setup and pack-down inside every price. The Party Pack ($250 for 48 hours) and bean bags ($11 each) are extras, and delivery is free within 20km of Kwinana.
Up to about 30 guests in a backyard, the 3m inflatable screen fits well. The 5m community screen suits around 300, and the 8m covers whole-of-community crowds up to 1,200-plus. Share your guest count and the room or yard, and we will pair the screen with your glow setup. Our screen size guide walks through it.
Rain rules out the screen and projector, so we follow the forecast with you in the days before and call it early, not at the last minute. Many backyard setups shift under a patio, which the 3m screen fits beneath, while larger events can hold a reserve date. Full detail is in our weather policy.
A few weeks normally covers an ordinary weekend. Peak summer dates and the marquee nights (New Years Eve, Christmas, Australia Day) go months ahead. Booking early costs nothing extra and secures your exact date, so reserve the screen first.
Yes, always. Our team delivers, tests, sets up and packs down every hire, UV bars included, and runs the community screens for the whole event. Delivery within 20km of Kwinana is free, and a small per-kilometre rate covers anything further out.
