We supply lighting equipment for hire across Essex and beyond, from single fixtures to complete lighting setups. Whatever the scale of your event, our team can help you work out what you actually need.
We provide lighting hire for public and private events, festivals, theatres and a wide range of other venues and event types.
All of our equipment comes from trusted manufacturers and is regularly tested and inspected, so you can rely on it working properly when it matters.
We can support your lighting requirements from initial design through to running it on the day. Using lighting design software, we can show you what the effect will look like before your event takes place — useful when you’re trying to get the atmosphere right for a specific space or audience. Every event is different, and lighting needs vary depending on the venue, the occasion and how the space is being used. We work with everything from small parties and functions through to corporate events and festivals.
Corporate events, marquees and other venues all benefit from the right lighting setup — it makes a real difference to how a space feels and how the event comes across. If you’re not sure what would work best, talk to us and we’ll talk it through with you.

Stage and Event Lighting Hire
For stage and event lighting, we draw on a large stock of intelligent lighting fixtures, alongside conventional fixtures that still have their place for certain effects.
We supply lighting for everything from school shows through to large stage productions, as well as conferences, corporate dinners, weddings, parties and other events.
All equipment is regularly tested and inspected for electrical safety. We can also provide staff to deliver, set up and operate the equipment, which takes the pressure off you and reduces the risk of anything going wrong on the day.
If you need help working out what’s right for your event, get in touch — we’re happy to talk it through.
Our stock includes equipment from Robe and Avolites.

Intelligent Lighting and Moving Heads
Our intelligent lighting from Robe includes moving beams, spots and wash fixtures — useful where you need flexibility to create different looks across a stage or event space.
Single Head Light Hire — For Smaller Events
Not every event needs a full rig. We supply single fixtures for smaller functions, presentations, photo backdrops, or to add to a setup you already have. If a single moving head, wash or spot fixture covers what you need, that’s all we’ll suggest — let us know what you’re trying to achieve and we’ll recommend the right option.
LED and Generic Lighting Equipment Hire
We stock LED wash, pars and profile fixtures from Chauvet and Studio Due, along with generic and retro-style fixtures from Selecon and Robe — covering a broad range of staging and ambient lighting needs.

Room Lighting Hire for Indoor Venues
For indoor venues, function rooms and marquees, the right lighting setup depends on the size of the room, the ceiling height and what’s already in the space. We supply uplighting and colour-wash fixtures that can change how a room feels, without needing a full stage rig.
Room lighting hire works well alongside our private events and corporate events services, and can be combined with festoon lighting for venues that use both indoor and outdoor space.
Disco and Event Lighting Hire
Lighting plays a big part in setting the tone for weddings and parties. Alongside sound equipment, we supply lighting that helps create the right atmosphere — from a single light through to a larger lighting system, depending on what the event needs.
We have a range of lighting effects suited to different types of events. Call us or fill in an enquiry form and we can talk through what would work best.
Event Lighting Equipment Hire
Lighting is often one of the most important parts of an event, whether that’s a live event, a virtual event or a livestream. Getting it right can make a real difference to how the whole thing comes across.
We also stock a wide range of other event equipment, including sound, special effects, staging and site equipment, and our team can help with whatever your event requires.
If you’re planning a large-scale public event, we can help with that too — including larger projects such as Christmas light trails.
