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.

Depending on your requirements or lack thereof, you'll need to hire the right person to handle the arrangement of lights. If you merely need someone to specifically manage the lights you've already installed, you can hire a single technician. However, if you don't have the necessary lighting system in place, you will have to hire a larger company that offers set-up services and technicians that will manage the finished lighting.

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.

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.

Organizing and setting up anything that has to do with the lighting has to be done way before the performance. This includes checking or adjusting each phase of the lighting, making sure the blocking is right, and correcting or altering the light plot. Other times, preparations still won't be able to avoid impromptu problems when the actors finally get on stage. During rehearsals, equipment for the arrangement of lights, like robot ellipsoidal spotlights that follow motion or computerized preset boards with memories can all be used to make scene changes. Keep in mind that amateur theaters won't have this technology.

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 have all sorts of professional lighting equipment and specialty effects like LED panels to create aesthetically dynamic looks for your production.
