Frequently Asked Questions
What projector brightness (lumens) do I need for my event?
For small boardrooms with dimmable lights, 3,500–4,000 lumens is sufficient. For larger corporate conferences, venue halls, or rooms with natural daylight, we recommend at least 5,000 to 10,000+ lumens to keep text and visuals crisp.
Do you provide rear-projection screens?
Yes. If stage space is limited or you want to keep the projector hidden behind the screen, we supply rear-projection surfaces and ultra-short-throw lenses.
Where do you supply projector hire?
We are based in Manchester and regularly supply events throughout Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire, Derbyshire, West Yorkshire, and across the UK.
