We supply both permanent stage lighting installations, and portable systems. For many of the schools, colleges, and universities we work with we design hybrid systems where there’s permanently installed infrastructure (cabling, drapes and tracks, lighting bars, etc) but the lighting equipment can be moved between spaces to enable complete flexibly without buying enough lighting fixtures to cover every possible requirement in every part of the building.

Intelligent lighting fixtures can be controlled remotely—enabling you to choose colours, gobos (patterns), animations, zoom, focus, etc from your lighting console.
The cost of intelligent lighting has fallen substantially and, because it’s much more flexible, fewer lighting fixtures are needed to deliver the coverage and looks needed.
Key benefits include:
LED stage lighting and house lighting is very popular in both education and professional settings.
There are significant long term cost savings to be made with longer lamp life and energy savings. Less maintenance, and the ability to change colours (and often focus) from you lighting console means less need to work at height.
In terms of short-term cost savings, there’s often less cabling required as part of the installation, and there’s no requirement to install separate dimmers which saves considerable space in your control room or sub stage.
From our facilities in Liverpool and Glasgow, we provide installation services throughout the UK. Because we regularly deliver installations all over the UK, we have installation and service engineers located throughout the UK. This enables a fast response time, and reduced costs.
You will get the full benefit of any manufacturer's warranty and, if you choose to include an Adlib service contract in your project, you’ll be able to predict the ongoing cost of maintaining your installation to ensure it’s as good as it was on day one for years to come.
