AV Productions offers an extensive range of lighting and effects hire solutions in London for conferences, exhibitions, award shows, product launches and large-scale professional productions. From battery-powered uplighters and dynamic disco lighting to lasers, moving head fixtures and advanced LED, HMI and tungsten units with stands, modifiers and power distribution, our inventory of 31,000+ items is ready for live shows, filming and content shoots.
For most events in the UK, renting lighting equipment is a practical and cost-effective solution. So, whether you are energising a dance floor, lighting a keynote stage or creating a subtle branded ambience in a conference space, our team can manage design, delivery, installation and operation. You tell us what you want to achieve. We build a practical lighting package around your content, your venue and your guests.
We operate from a Central London hub with more than 31,000 pieces of AV and lighting equipment in stock to cover last-minute requests and complex technical briefs.
Established in 1997, our technical team has over 25 years’ experience delivering AV hire & full event production for conferences, AGMs, exhibitions, launches and award shows across the UK.
We combine AV hire, lighting, LED video walls, staging, speakers, and live streaming with in-house technicians to give clients a single, joined-up partner instead of juggling multiple suppliers.
Each item in our inventory is regularly tested, updated and PAT-certified before it leaves the warehouse to reduce technical risk and help organisers deliver smooth and professional shows.
We hold a wide range of fixtures from leading manufacturers such as ARRI, Chauvet, Robe, Aputure, Litegear and more. Each unit is prepared and PAT-certified in our Central London warehouse before it goes out on hire. You can rent individual fixtures to support an in-house team or combine them into a complete show package with crew, control and rigging included. Browse our Lighting Rental category below:
Business-focused lighting needs more than just brightness. We start with your format: plenary sessions, breakouts, panels, product reveals, networking or after-party. Then we look at the room layout, ceiling height, rigging options and guest numbers. From there, we design a system that keeps presenters clear, slides readable and cameras happy, while staying within venue rules and brand guidelines.
Our lighting hire covers LED uplighters, stage wash lighting, profiles, moving heads, LED battens, soft panels and key lights. Where needed, we also support film, television and content production with LED, HMI, Kino Flo and tungsten fixtures. Everything is supplied with the appropriate stands, rigging, dimming, cabling and power distribution.
We work across a wide mix of live formats in the UK, including conferences, AGMs, town halls, exhibitions, trade shows, product launches, fashion shows, brand experiences, awards dinners and corporate celebrations. For conference and town hall work, the emphasis is on clarity and consistency: speakers should feel confident under the lights, delegates should be able to read notes and screens, and camera shots should remain natural throughout the day.
You might be thinking, why should you hire equipment instead of buying? Well, a great lighting set-up can be expensive, especially if you only need it for one event. Lighting rental gives you the look you want without the heavy purchase costs. It offers flexibility, variety, and expert support, so you can scale your lighting to the venue, the audience, and the moment. Also, renting is cost-effective because you get access to professional-grade equipment at an affordable rate rather than investing thousands of pounds upfront.
You also get up-to-date equipment, with access to the newest lighting solutions without worrying about gear becoming outdated.
It’s maintenance-free, too, because rental providers like us can handle testing, upkeep and performance checks, so the equipment arrives in top working condition. And because every event is different, rental gives you custom solutions, allowing you to choose exactly what you need for your specific occasion.
