03

No surprise fees. No fine print. Just clear quotes with flexible packages that scale to your event and budget. LED wall rentals typically start at $5,000.

How we work

Quote. Site walk. Build. Show.

A process built so nothing is left to chance between the booking and the strike.

Quote

Tell us the venue, the date, and the scope. We come back fast with a clear, itemized quote — no guesswork, no padding.

Site Walk

We walk the venue or the plans — power, rigging points, sightlines, load-in paths. The spec on paper matches what shows up.

Build

Every wall and rig is tested in our shop before it leaves. We deliver, rig, and program ahead of doors — never against the clock.

Show

A dedicated tech stays on-site for the full run of show — content, redundancy, real-time fixes. We stay through strike.

Nothing improvised at showtime.

Lighting designed to the run-of-show, pre-programmed before doors, and run live by a board op on-site. Camera-ready key light for IMAG and broadcast, atmosphere that matches the brand, and looks that hit the beat — because they were built and rehearsed, not winged.

Included as standard

  • Delivery, rigging, and clean cable management
  • Redundant processing and power on critical systems
  • An on-site tech for the full run of show
  • A real rehearsal before doors — never against the clock
  • Strike and load-out by the same crew

Lighting, answered

What does good event lighting actually change?

Everything the audience feels but can’t name. Lighting is the room’s mood and the moment’s punch — the key light that makes a presenter read clean on camera, the wash that turns a ballroom into your brand, the effect that hits exactly when the music does. Done well, it’s invisible direction: the show changes and nobody notices why. Done badly, it’s a flat room, a CEO in shadow, or a cue that fires two seconds late in front of everyone.

So we don’t hang a generic rig in the dark. The design starts from your run-of-show and your actual room — key, wash, back, and effect fixtures placed for the moments that matter — then gets pre-programmed on a pro console, rehearsed against the real content, and run live by a board operator. Nothing is assembled in front of your audience; it’s repeatable, on the beat, and operated through strike.

The show decides the design

Fixtures are placed and focused for your run-of-show’s moments — not a package hung the same way every week.

Programmed, then rehearsed

Looks are built and timed before doors, so show day is execution, not experimentation.

Run live, start to strike

A board op on the desk the whole event — adjusting on the fly so rehearsal and show match.

Types of event lighting

Which lighting does your event actually need?

Event Lighting in Los Angeles — Stage & concert lighting
Stage & Concert

Stage & concert lighting

Programmed looks, haze, and moving fixtures timed to the set — the rig that makes a performance feel produced instead of lit. Built for concerts, keynotes, and award shows where cues have to land on the downbeat, every time.

  • Looks timed to the music
  • Camera-ready key light
  • Board op through the show
Event Lighting in Los Angeles — Wedding lighting
Wedding

Wedding lighting

Uplighting in your exact palette, pinspots on the florals and cake, and a first-dance look built for the photos — lighting designed around the moments you’ll keep, run quietly by a tech while you get married.

  • Color-matched to your palette
  • Designed for the photography
  • Ceremony through last dance
Event Lighting in Los Angeles — Outdoor & festival lighting
Outdoor & Festival

Outdoor & festival lighting

Rigs built for open sky — festival stages, plazas, and evening events where weather, wind, and generator power are part of the design. Engineered for the conditions, not just the look.

  • Weather-ready fixtures & rigging
  • Generator power planned in
  • Festival- to dinner-scale
Event Lighting in Los Angeles — Kinetic lighting
Kinetic

Kinetic lighting

Winch-driven fixtures and light objects that physically move with the show — ceilings that breathe, reveals that descend on the beat. The dimensional moment a static rig can’t produce.

  • Movement choreographed to music
  • Pre-visualized before build
  • The moment crowds film

The gear on the truck

What lights your show.

A rig designed to the room and the run-of-show, pre-programmed and run live by an operator who does this every week.

LED moving head wash
Wash

LED moving head wash

Bright, fast color-mixing wash fixtures that flood the stage and room in any hue, programmed to shift and chase on cue without ever washing out the camera.

Moving head beam / spot
Aerial

Moving head beam / spot

Punchy beam and spot fixtures that throw tight aerial looks, gobos, and prisms — the fixtures that carve the haze and hit the moment on the downbeat.

LED PAR wash
Static

LED PAR wash

Workhorse PAR fixtures for even color washes on scenic, walls, and talent — quiet, flicker-free for camera, and stackable into big saturated looks.

Follow spot
Key

Follow spot

Bright, long-throw follow spots that keep a presenter or performer lit and isolated as they move, run by an operator for clean, camera-ready key light.

Wireless battery uplight
Cordless

Wireless battery uplight

Cord-free, battery-powered uplights placed anywhere in minutes to wash columns, walls, and rooms in brand color — no cable runs, no floor tape.

Hazer & atmosphere
Effect

Hazer & atmosphere

Low-residue haze and fog that give every beam its body and the room its depth, metered so the air reads on camera without ever setting off the alarms.

Know what you’re asking for

The kit, and what each piece is actually for.

Most lighting briefs are vague because the vocabulary is unfamiliar — not because the producer doesn’t know what they want. Here’s the language, so you can tell us what your Los Angeles room needs instead of describing it twice. Every piece below is something we own, hang, and run ourselves — no brokered sub-rentals arriving the week of your show.

Room

Uplight

A fixture sitting on the floor aimed up a wall, column, or drape, washing it in colour.

Ask for it when: When the room itself is the backdrop. Ballrooms, tents, and anywhere bare walls would photograph flat.

Coverage

Wash light

A soft, wide beam covering an area evenly from above — a stage, a dance floor, a run of tables.

Ask for it when: When the room needs to be lit rather than spotlit: dinner, mingling, anything where guests need to see each other’s faces.

Front light

Key light

The front light that makes a presenter readable — the difference between a face and a silhouette.

Ask for it when: On anything with a camera. Skip it and the room looks fine while the recording comes back unusable.

Separation

Back / rim light

A fixture behind and above the subject that puts a rim of light on their shoulders and hair.

Ask for it when: Any stage with an LED wall or dark drape behind it — it stops the speaker melting into the background.

Hard edge

Leko (ellipsoidal)

A hard-edged fixture you can shutter to a precise shape and drop a pattern into.

Ask for it when: When light has to land exactly on something and nowhere else — a podium, an award table, a piece of art.

Pattern

Gobo

A cut metal or glass pattern inside a leko that projects a shape: a logo, a monogram, foliage, texture.

Ask for it when: When you want the brand on a wall without printing a banner, or texture across a surface that’s otherwise blank.

Accent

Pinspot

A very narrow beam aimed at a single object from across the room.

Ask for it when: When centrepieces, a cake, or a product have to read in a room you’ve deliberately kept dark.

Operated

Followspot

A spotlight run by a person, tracking someone as they move.

Ask for it when: Award shows, entrances, and any moment where one person has to be found instantly in a dark room.

Programmable

Moving head

A motorised fixture that pans, tilts, changes colour, and reshapes its beam on cue.

Ask for it when: When the room has to look different between segments without anyone walking in to re-aim anything.

Aerial

Beam / effect fixture

A tight, high-intensity beam built to be seen in the air rather than to land on a surface.

Ask for it when: Walk-ins, reveals, and concert moments — the aerial looks people actually photograph.

Audience

Blinder

A bank of warm lamps pointed at the crowd rather than the stage.

Ask for it when: The moment the room becomes the show — a drop, a reveal, an entrance.

Atmosphere

Haze

A fine, even suspension in the air that makes beams visible. Not smoke — done right you shouldn’t smell it.

Ask for it when: Any beam look at all. Without haze the aerial effects you’re paying for are invisible. Needs venue fire-panel sign-off, which we arrange in advance.

Structure

Truss & ground support

The aluminium structure fixtures hang from — flown from the ceiling, or standing on its own towers.

Ask for it when: Raise it early. Whether your room has usable rigging points decides a surprising share of the lighting budget.

Control

Console & board op

The desk the show is programmed into, and the operator running it live.

Ask for it when: Always ask who is actually on the desk. A pre-programmed rig with nobody running it can’t react when the show shifts — and shows shift.

Pricing, explained

What moves the price.

Lighting quotes diverge on five things. None of them should be a surprise on the invoice.

Fixture count & class

Moving heads cost more than static wash — the design decides the mix, the room decides the count.

Rig position

Flown truss needs points and motors; ground and boom positions are cheaper but sightline-limited.

Programming time

Looks are built in pre-production so show day is execution — that console time is a real line item.

Operator

A board op runs the show live, on cue — included on every show, not sold back to you as an upsell.

Atmosphere

Haze makes beams visible — and needs venue fire-panel sign-off we arrange in advance.

Tell us the room and the run-of-show — the quote comes back itemized by layer, fixture, and crew.

Who this is for

Corporate keynotes
Concerts & performance
Galas & awards
Weddings & private events
Conferences

What goes wrong (and how we prevent it)

Lighting failures are quiet — until they’re on camera.

The CEO is a silhouette on the recording

Key light is set to camera exposure at rehearsal — not eyeballed from the back of the room.

The room looks identical all night

Looks are pre-programmed per segment and called on cue with the show.

The haze sets off the fire panel

Atmospherics are cleared with the venue before the plot is final — never a show-day gamble.
