Lighting for concerts & shows

Lighting creates atmosphere and artist focus. Small package: 4–8 PAR LEDs + 2 moving spots; large: truss, beam, wash, and hazer. Rental includes operator for live shows.

Fixtures & DMX

Ensure enough DMX universes. LED saves power on limited generators. Ask about hazer/fog — check indoor venue regulations.

Rigging & safety

Truss must meet load capacity; safety cables mandatory. Outdoor: IP65+ waterproof rating. High work needs certified riggers — do not DIY without experience.
