Frequently Asked Questions

For school musicals, we recommend a combination of LED moving heads for dynamic effects, PAR cans for colour washing, and profile spots for key lighting. Most school productions benefit from 12-24 LED moving heads, 8-16 PAR cans, and a user-friendly lighting desk like our Chamsys or Hog systems.
Yes, with dry hire you operate the equipment yourself. We provide full instructions and can offer a quick training session before your booking. Many schools and community groups successfully run their own lighting using our intuitive control desks. Alternatively, our wet hire includes an experienced lighting technician.
LED lighting uses less power, generates less heat, offers RGB colour mixing without gels, and lasts longer than conventional fixtures. Conventional lights like Fresnels and Profiles provide a warmer light quality and are preferred by some traditional theatres. We stock both options and can advise on the best choice for your production.
Yes, we offer full installation services for venues upgrading their lighting infrastructure. This includes design, supply, installation, programming, and training. Recent installations include Theatre Royal, Newcastle and various school drama studios across the North East.
We offer a range of lighting control solutions from compact USB interfaces (Chamsys, Hog 3 Widget) to full-scale consoles (Hog iPC, Avolites). We can advise on the best control solution based on your venue size, show complexity, and operator experience level.
Dry hire is equipment-only - you operate it yourself. Wet hire includes an experienced operator as part of the package. Both options are available on most items.
Yes. We deliver, set up and test all equipment. For wet hire, our operators manage the full technical setup and show operation. Delivery within the North East is included on most bookings.
We recommend booking as early as possible - popular items book up weeks in advance during busy seasons. Last-minute bookings are possible on a best-effort basis.
We cover Newcastle, Gateshead, North and South Tyneside, Sunderland, County Durham, and the whole of the UK on request. Free local delivery is included on most full-production hires.
