Reveal Looks
The classic is a wash of pink or blue on a wall timed to the reveal, plus a 'He or She' mark leading in. Because it is light, there is no mess and no hazard.
Keep the unit away from where the physical reveal happens, so the projection complements rather than competes.
Reveal Checklist
- Pink and blue colour options.
- Safe, no smoke or flame.
- Simple remote for the moment.
- Low noise for the gathering.
- Indoor or battery outdoor use.

Safe by Design
Skip smoke and pyro entirely; a coloured gobo wash gives the drama without the danger, and works indoors where effects cannot.
Brightness for the Moment
Dim the room and 15 to 50 W reads strongly. The colour, not the power, carries the emotion.
Mistakes
- Using unsafe smoke or flame instead.
- Beam in the parents' eyes.
- No remote for the exact moment.
- Cold white killing the mood.
