Lighting Console & Control Hire
Lighting control hire from busking a party to running a full theatre plot. ETC GIO @5 and Ion consoles with Nomad licenses and the ETC Gadget as the console with Luminex and Transcension ArtNet nodes, Visual Productions CueCore show control, and the splitters, mergers and W-DMX to get data around a rig.
The ETC EOS family is the backbone — the same platform and interface on all devices — with gateways for SMPTE-triggered shows. DMX splitters, relay packs and recorders cover the smaller and less conventional jobs.

Common questions
Which lighting console should I hire?
For theatre and conference work the ETC GIO @5 and Ion are the house standard; a Nomad license on your own laptop covers pre-programming and smaller shows. Tell us the rig size and we can advise.
Can I pre-program before the console arrives?
Yes — The ETC EOS software lets you build the show file in EOS on your own machine, then load it straight onto the hired console.
How do I get DMX to fixtures without cable runs?
The Astera ART7 transmitter and LEDJ W-DMX units cover wireless DMX to appropriate fixtures, and ArtNet nodes distribute universes over a network where cabling is required.
Do you stock DMX splitters and mergers?
Yes — Botex and Transcension splitters, a CA merger, relay packs and a DMX recorder are all in the same category.
Can you provide different lighting desks?
Yes - Get in touch to discuss hiring other lighting consoles.
Can you pre-patch and address the system?
Yes - We can pre patch and address your system before your hire. Contact us to discuss your needs.
