Lighting Hire to Make Your Show Look Pro.

From Fringe Festival performances to full touring productions,

get the gear that elevates your production... without blowing your budget.

CHECK OUT OUR HIRE LIST

Most hire companies only care about the invoice. We care about your show.

You don’t need a giant budget or a massive venue to look world-class.

You need great lighting, and someone who understands what you’re trying to pull off.

Whether you’re a producer, designer, DJ, Fringe artist, wedding organiser, venue or event planner, we’ve built our hire service to be designed for creatives who care about the outcome.

Our Promise

We make sure you walk away with lighting gear that fits your vision, your budget and your skill level, and actually looks good when it’s turned on.

Every fixture we hire out is equipment we personally endorse. We have used it in our own productions. We’ve made sure it can handle installs, tours and events. We’ve picked our gear by talking to the high-end users- the designers and technicians who know stage craft inside out.

Psst...

Are you a designer, producer or hire company who wants to hire our gear under your brand?
