Frequently Asked Questions
Can we project our corporate logo onto the stage backdrop or venue walls?
Yes. We fit custom glass or metal gobos into our moving spots to project sharp, high-brightness corporate logos and graphics across your venue.
Do you supply lighting operators and programmers for live events?
Yes. In addition to dry-hire, we provide experienced DMX lighting designers and technicians to program and operate lighting consoles for corporate presentations, theatre shows, and live music.
What is the difference between 0.5m and 1m festoon spacing?
Our 0.5m spacing places bulbs closer together for a high-density, high-impact light canopy. The 1m spacing offers a classic, relaxed look for longer outdoor runs and broad venue spans.
How long do the battery uplights and Astera tubes last?
Both our wireless RGBW battery uplights and Astera Titan Tubes offer up to 8–20 hours of runtime on a single charge, easily lasting through full-day corporate events or late-night shows.
