Lighting & control

Lighting and control

Lighting for halls and venues divides into three jobs: light the performance, light the audience safely, and light the architecture. Each needs different equipment and the same control system.

Everything in this section

We design and install lighting for auditoriums, conference halls, clubs, banquet halls and public buildings, and programme the control so the venue can run itself afterwards. Lighting is simulated in our own lab before installation, alongside the sound.

Rows of fixed seats in an auditorium lit by downlights in the side bays and slim vertical light strips on the walls.

What we cover

Designed, then programmed

A rig is only as good as its programming. We build the scenes a venue actually uses — house, presentation, performance, cleaning — and label them so nobody needs the manual on the night.

Sound and lighting are simulated in our own lab. You see behaviour, specification and cost before committing.
