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.

The audience can’t hear a lighting cue miss — they feel it.

Stage lighting is timing. A look that lands on the drop makes the room erupt; the same look half a second late reads as a mistake nobody can name. So our rigs are designed to the setlist, programmed on a pro console before doors, and run live by an operator — timecoded where the show is locked, busked where the artist improvises, rehearsed either way.

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

The rig, answered

What separates a concert rig from a corporate rig?

Intent. A concert rig performs — beams carving haze, looks changing per song, energy driven from the desk like an instrument. A corporate rig disappears — even, flattering key light that makes every presenter read clean on camera, restrained wash that carries the brand, and back light that lifts people off the LED wall behind them. Hang the wrong instinct in the room and you get a keynote that looks like a rave or a concert that feels like a meeting.

We build both every week, which is exactly the point: the same crew that knows when lighting should perform knows when it should get out of the way. Either way the discipline underneath is identical — a design from your run-of-show, looks programmed and rehearsed before doors, and an operator on the desk who lands the cue on the downbeat, every time.

Timing is the product

Timecoded for locked shows, busked live for improvised ones — the look lands on the beat either way.

Camera-first when it counts

Key and back light set to camera exposure at rehearsal, so the recording matches the room.

One crew, both instincts

Concert energy and corporate restraint from the same operators — speced to your show, not our habit.

Stage & Concert Lighting in Los Angeles — Concerts & live performance
Concert

Concerts & live performance

Programmed looks per song, beams that carve the haze, and an operator who knows the set — timecode-locked for produced shows, busked live for artists who never play it the same way twice. The rig follows the music, not the other way around.

  • Looks built per song
  • Timecode or live busking
  • Haze & effects, venue-cleared

Corporate stages & keynotes

Even, flattering key light that makes every presenter read clean on camera, wash that carries the brand, and back light that separates people from the LED wall behind them. The discipline is restraint — the lighting frames the message without upstaging it.

  • Key light set to camera exposure
  • Brand-tuned wash & accents
  • Back light against the LED wall
Stage & Concert Lighting in Los Angeles — Award shows & broadcast stages
Awards

Award shows & broadcast stages

Camera-first design: winners’ walks lit for the lens, reveals that land on cue, and looks that switch cleanly between podium, performance, and audience. When the show is filmed, rehearsal happens with the actual cameras — not a guess about them.

  • Designed for the broadcast cut
  • Rehearsed with real cameras
  • Podium-to-performance switching

Know what you’re asking for

The concert rig, piece by piece.

Stage lighting is layers doing different jobs, and a rig that’s missing one is obvious from the third row. Here’s what each layer does on a Los Angeles stage, so the plot you approve matches the show in your head. Every piece below is something we own, hang, and run ourselves — no brokered sub-rentals arriving the week of your show.

Front light

Front truss

The truss over the audience carrying the light that hits performers’ faces.

Ask for it when: Any show being filmed or photographed. Backlight alone looks dramatic live and reads as silhouettes on camera.

Separation

Backlight

Fixtures upstage aimed back toward the audience, rimming performers from behind.

Ask for it when: Every stage. It’s what gives a band depth instead of looking pasted onto the backdrop.

Programmable

Moving head — spot

A hard-edged moving fixture with gobos, iris, and precise framing.

Ask for it when: Aerial gobo looks, tight specials on a soloist, and anything needing a defined edge.

Programmable

Moving head — wash

A soft-edged moving fixture built for colour and coverage rather than definition.

Ask for it when: Colour changes across the whole stage between songs or segments.

Aerial

Beam fixture

An extremely narrow, high-output beam designed to cut through haze as a visible shaft.

Ask for it when: Drops, intros, and the big aerial moments — the shots that end up on the recap reel.

Impact

Strobe

High-intensity flash, used in bursts rather than continuously.

Ask for it when: Impact hits and transitions. Flag it early if anyone in the audience has photosensitivity concerns.

Audience

Blinder

Warm, high-output lamps aimed into the crowd.

Ask for it when: When you want the audience to feel like part of the show rather than spectators of it.

Operated

Followspot

A human-operated spotlight tracking a performer around the stage.

Ask for it when: Front-person vocals, guest walk-ons, and any performer who won’t stay on a mark.

Shape

Side light / boom

Vertical positions in the wings throwing light across the stage rather than down it.

Ask for it when: Dance and movement. Side light sculpts bodies in a way overhead light physically can’t.

Atmosphere

Haze & fog

Haze hangs in the air to reveal beams; fog is heavier and sits low across the deck.

Ask for it when: Haze for any beam-based look; fog for a specific floor effect. Both need fire-panel clearance.

Control

Timecode vs. busking

Timecode locks every cue to the track; busking means an operator plays the rig live to the room.

Ask for it when: Timecode for a fixed setlist with playback. Busking when the set can change — most corporate shows are somewhere between.

Pricing, explained

What moves the price.

Concert lighting quotes diverge on five things. None of them should surprise you on the invoice.

Fixture count & class

Moving heads cost several times what static wash does — the design sets the mix, the room sets the count.

Rigging position

Flown truss needs points, motors, and a load calc; ground support is cheaper but eats floor and sightlines.

Programming time

Looks are built before show day so the show is execution rather than invention. That console time is real hours.

Operator

A board op runs the rig live and reacts when the set changes. Included on every show, never sold back as an upsell.

Atmosphere

Haze is inexpensive but needs fire-panel sign-off, and some venues refuse — worth confirming before the look depends on it.

Send the run-of-show and the venue. The quote comes back itemized by layer, fixture, and crew.

The reliability question

What goes wrong on stage — and how do we prevent it?

The cue misses the drop

Looks are programmed and rehearsed against the actual set — timecoded where it’s locked, busked by an operator who knows the music where it isn’t.

The artist is a silhouette on the recording

Key and back light are set to camera exposure at rehearsal, not eyeballed from the desk.

The haze sets off the venue’s fire panel

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

A mover dies over the stage mid-set

Spares are in the rig plan, and the design carries redundancy so one fixture never owns the show’s biggest look.

FAQ

Questions producers ask.

Everything you need to know about putting your show in our hands. Can’t find your answer here?

Yes — two ways. Locked shows run on timecode so every look lands on the exact frame; improvised sets get busked live by an operator who knows the music. Most concerts use both across a night.
