Stage Lighting Rental CT Make Your Stage Dynamic

By Annabelle Holman


It's important to have a properly lit stage or miscellaneous area for your performance, even if it's a very small one. You could just manage your lights on your own, but it's better to hire a stage lighting rental CT to professionally handle everything for you. Lighting that is properly installed and managed enhances a performance and allows the audience to enjoy your show the way you want them to.

Choosing professional lighting help should be based on your specific staging requirements. If you already have everything installed and set up, you can hire a single technician who will manage it. Alternatively, you could ask a company to both install the lighting, and then provide technicians who will manage it as well.

Decide on the budget you have for your production, and research several companies or technicians. Make sure these professionals will meet your budget by searching their rates on the company websites. You can use this list of narrowed down choices for the best hire.

The companies or technicians you seek need to be available to work on your lights before your production date. Make sure you don't forget that they are needed at rehearsals as well. Your list of companies will be narrowed down even more based on timing.

Be sure of the reputation of the remaining companies on your list. Ask for various references, and call at least two of them for confirmation of their quality. Some topics you should inquire about could be how they generally performed and if their attitude was professional.

All preparations must be made in terms of lighting prior to the performance. You or the company must check and adjust light phases, make sure the illumination system can run smoothly with blocking changes, and see whether the light plot needs any altering. There are also cases where the actors need to be directly on stage to notice any issues with the lighting. Illumination equipment can be used in these cases to make certain scene changes such as robot ellipsoidal spotlights that follow the motion of the actors, or computerized preset boards that have internal memory. Know that amateur stages won't have these luxuries.

Regardless of who is working on the lighting, it's professional and important in terms of protecting hands or preventing slippage to always wear work gloves. Other protective measures are to wear rubber soled shoes and to check clamps and aiming bolts whenever instruments for producing lights are near. Not only can these measure help avoid any injuries, but will prevent embarrassing situations for technical directors and angry directors.

They also have professional equipment like LED panels and special effects to make your meetings, conventions, trade shows, or plays as dynamic as possible.
