Why Choose Black Light?

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're experts at what we do

We are the main dealers for all major manufacturers in the industry and have direct access to a comprehensive range of cutting-edge products. This means that we can recommend and supply the most appropriate products to meet your needs and your budget. Our hands-on knowledge of all aspects of event and theatre production means that we have the insider knowledge to get you the right services and products for your project and for your budget.

We're on your wavelength

At Black Light we pride ourselves on the fact that we are 'on your wavelength'. That's because we have years of first-hand experience of theatre and events management and therefore really understand the challenges that you face. This means that we won't just sell you a product or service; we'll give you our advice and assistance to make sure you get the best product or service for your needs.

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.
