Avolites and ChamSys desks, wireless DMX, power distribution, Litec truss and lifting towers complete any rig. Browse the catalogue, or let us build a package around your venue and budget.

All our lighting is carefully maintained and regularly inspected. Hire it dry, or add a designer and crew to install, programme and operate it.

Questions & answers

Stage & Event Lighting Hire FAQs

Can't find your answer? Call 0115 939 2151.

Can I dry hire lighting?

Yes. You can collect from our Long Eaton warehouse, between Nottingham and Derby, or we can deliver. All kit is tested before it leaves.

Do you hire uplighters for weddings and venues?

Yes. Our LED uplighters and battens can wash any room in colour, and wireless DMX keeps cable runs to a minimum.

Can you supply someone to programme and run the lights?

Yes. We can supply a lighting designer, programmer and operator for anything from a single evening to a full tour.

Can you make custom gobos?

Yes. We can create custom gobos with your logo, monogram or design for projection onto walls, floors and dance floors.
