A Brief Guide To Event Lighting Rental North Haven

By Anita Ortega


Lighting often plays a crucial role in a show. It can provide dramatic cues and various effects that can enrich a story. However if you run a venue that does not always put on shows keeping lights that you do not use very often can result in lights getting damaged as they are kept for a long time in storage. If this is applicable to your particular venue or event then it is worth looking for event lighting rental North Haven.

It is tempting to ask why you would want to rent lights. The logic is that if you pay for the lights then they are available whenever you need them. This is fine if you use those lights on a regular basis and you always ensure that they are repaired and maintained in the best possible condition.

The problem is if you only want to use lights occasionally. In this instance the lights will then be in storage for long periods of time. Inevitably this can mean that items can get damaged or gather dust and so when you actually need to use those lights they may not be ready when you need them!

There is also the fact that there are certain types of lighting that would be effective for a show that you may not always need to use. For example strobes or lasers are often great for providing atmosphere for a music event. However if you do not regularly have bands on then you may not always need them.

Disco lights are best suited to events where a lot of people are dancing. A supplier ought to be able to give you something specifically suited to the size of your venue and the amount of people that are going to be dancing.

If you are a non profit company or you do not host events very often then it may not be cost effective to store lighting equipment that you are not using. The equipment could be kept in storage for long periods of time and may end up dusty or damaged through long periods of storage and not being properly used or maintained. Therefore renting is actually the more cost effective option in this instance. It is also useful if you need a specific type of light for an event that you are unlikely to use at other times. For example you may want lasers for a science fiction themed show.

With rental companies you have to be clear what you are getting and how long you are getting it for. The company should be able to give you a specific price and what that price covers. For example there may be one price for the equipment and an additional price for getting technicians to help you set up the equipment before the event is due to start.

There are a number of lighting rental companies available in the North Haven CT area. It is best to look them up online and learn more about the type of equipment they offer. Contact them directly in order to find out what they charge and the service that is included in their price. Ideally this price should also include additional costs such as insurance. This will make it easier to compare the companies and find the ideal service that is appropriate for your needs.
