Free consultation, no commitment
LA-based and producing coast to coast, we’ve mastered every venue type — from outdoor festivals to high-security corporate summits.
We don’t just drop off equipment — we engineer the full experience. Our crew manages design, setup, programming, and teardown so you never lift a finger.
Our LED production has powered experiences for Netflix, Universal, Adidas, Hilton, and more. When top brands need show-stopping visuals, they call us.
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.
A process built so nothing is left to chance between the booking and the strike.
Tell us the venue, the date, and the scope. We come back fast with a clear, itemized quote — no guesswork, no padding.
We walk the venue or the plans — power, rigging points, sightlines, load-in paths. The spec on paper matches what shows up.
Every wall and rig is tested in our shop before it leaves. We deliver, rig, and program ahead of doors — never against the clock.
A dedicated tech stays on-site for the full run of show — content, redundancy, real-time fixes. We stay through strike.
Outside, the venue stops helping you.
No house rig, no house power, no ceiling to hang from, and a sky that changes the light plot every twenty minutes at dusk. Outdoor lighting is an engineering job wearing a design job’s clothes: weather-rated fixtures, wind-load-calculated structures, generator power with headroom, and a plot that works with the sunset instead of fighting it. We build for the conditions first — so the look survives them.
Open sky, answered
Three things the venue would normally provide: structure, power, and darkness. Outside there’s no ceiling to hang from — so towers and truss get engineered and ballasted to the site’s real wind exposure. There’s no wall outlet — so generators and distribution arrive with headroom, planned as their own system. And the sun sets on its own schedule — so the design is built around the dusk transition, with looks that evolve as the sky changes instead of fighting it.
Get those three right and the creative works exactly like it does indoors: fixtures speced to the space, looks programmed to the event, an operator through the night. Get them wrong and no amount of design saves the evening — which is why our outdoor quotes read like engineering documents first and mood boards second.
Wind-load-calculated towers and truss, ballasted to the site — engineered for the gust, not the average.
Generators and distro with headroom, so the rig never negotiates with catering for circuits.
Looks programmed to the site’s actual sunset — the transition hour is designed, not endured.

Full performance rigs on ground-supported towers and mobile structures — movers, beams, and strobes that read across a field, engineered for the gust the forecast didn’t mention. Built to run open-to-close across multi-day events, with power planned as its own system.
Facades washed in brand color, plazas turned into branded environments, and pathways that pull people toward the moment. Outdoor brand work is half lighting, half civic logistics — permits, power, and neighbors — and we handle both halves.
Rooftop dinners, estate galas, premieres on a backlot — events where the lighting has to make an outdoor space feel designed after dark without a single visible cable run. Ambient layers, focal moments, and a plan for the exact minute the sun stops doing the work.
Know what you’re asking for
Outdoors, half the kit list is infrastructure the venue would have supplied indoors. Here’s what a Los Angeles open-air build actually involves, so nothing on the quote reads as padding. Every piece below is something we own, hang, and run ourselves — no brokered sub-rentals arriving the week of your show.
A sealed fixture rated to keep running in rain, dust, and humidity.
Ask for it when: Anything staying outside overnight or through a forecast. Indoor fixtures under a rain hat are a temporary fix, not a plan.
Free-standing towers holding fixtures at height, weighted against wind.
Ask for it when: Every outdoor build — there’s nothing to hang from. Ballast is calculated to real gust figures, not nominal ones.
Your own power source and the distribution that splits it safely across the site.
Ask for it when: Almost always. Park, field, and lawn sites have power for a coffee urn, not a lighting rig.
Low-level light on walkways, steps, exits, and parking routes.
Ask for it when: Any event running past dusk. It’s frequently a permit condition, and it’s the lighting nobody notices until someone falls.
Large-format fixtures throwing colour across a building, tree line, or structure.
Ask for it when: When the site has something worth lighting. Outdoors there are no walls, so the backdrop has to be found rather than assumed.
High-output fixtures with enough punch to read across open ground and open sky.
Ask for it when: Large sites. An indoor-rated fixture that fills a ballroom disappears entirely over a field.
Strung warm bulbs spanning a space or marking a boundary.
Ask for it when: Dinners, bars, and lounge areas. It defines a room outdoors where no room exists.
Covered ramps over cable runs and protective matting on grass and vehicle routes.
Ask for it when: Every outdoor site with guests walking. Also frequently a permit condition where turf has to be protected.
Shrouds fitted over fixtures and control positions to shed water.
Ask for it when: Any forecast with a chance of rain. Fitted in advance, not scrambled for when the sky turns.
Cueing the rig up as daylight falls, so the look arrives rather than snapping on.
Ask for it when: Any event straddling sunset. Ambient light drops faster than people expect and an untimed rig looks abrupt.
Agreed thresholds for what comes down, in what order, and who makes the call.
Ask for it when: Every outdoor build. It should exist before doors, not be improvised when a gust arrives.
How to spec it
Pricing, explained
Outdoor lighting costs more than the same rig indoors, and it is worth understanding exactly where the difference goes.
Most outdoor sites cannot carry a rig, so a generator and distribution are speced with the design rather than assumed.
With nothing to hang from, every fixture needs a tower — engineered and weighted to real wind figures for the site.
IP-rated fixtures cost more than indoor ones, and the difference is whether the rig survives an unexpected forecast.
Cable ramps, matting, and vehicle routes are frequently permit conditions rather than optional extras.
Outdoor builds carry a wind and lightning plan, which means crew on site to strike safely if thresholds are hit.
A site walk sets all five. The quote separates gear, power, structure, and crew so you can see what the outdoors added.
The conditions question
Wind picks up and the rig becomes a liability
Towers and truss are wind-load calculated and ballasted to the site, with a monitoring plan agreed before doors — engineered for the gust, not the average.
The generator dies mid-show
Power is planned with headroom and redundancy — the lighting rig never shares a strained circuit with the food trucks.
The plot looks great at 8pm and wrong at 6pm
The design is built around the dusk transition — looks are programmed to evolve as the sky changes, checked at the site’s actual sunset.
Marine layer, dew, or a stray shower
Weather-rated fixtures, sealed connections, and protected cable runs — a damp evening is a non-event.
Portfolio
How we’ve helped brands and event planners put on shows that didn’t miss a cue.
Concert Production
The challenge
A nationally televised dance competition needed a massive LED stage backdrop with rapid content switching for 20+ performances across a two-day event.
The solution
Multi-panel LED configuration spanning 60 feet wide, real-time media-server management, redundant processing, and a dedicated show caller.
The result
Zero technical issues across 40+ hours of live production, featured on a broadcast seen by millions.
Corporate Keynote
The challenge
A Fortune 500 tech company needed a high-resolution LED backdrop for a hybrid live-streamed keynote in a venue with difficult ambient light and tight load-in windows.
The solution
Custom curved 40-foot LED wall at 2.6mm pixel pitch, full content management, redundant processing, and on-site technical direction for the run of show.
The result
Flawless broadcast to 10,000+ virtual attendees and zero technical issues on the floor. The client rebooked for three additional events.
