On Your Wavelength
Black Light is a leading provider of light, stage, sound and AV solutions. We come from a theatrical background and therefore have a passion for finding innovative and creative solutions to the most technical of challenges.
Our track record speaks for itself: We have been supplying products and services to schools, theatres, exhibitions, conferences, trade shows, heritage centres and private clients for over 25 years.

Black Light's strengths are built on the expertise of our team of time-served, highly skilled product specifiers, technicians, electricians and project managers.

We go that extra mile
The main thing that marks Black Light out from our competitors is our willingness to go the extra mile - whether that's dropping everything to answer a 'last minute' call from a company whose event is about to be jeopardised by a malfunctioning light or working with a client to develop a bespoke rigging system to fit into an historic theatre space. Conscientious, responsive and flexible: that's Black Light.
