We are delighted to announce that we have now formally signed up as distributors for Martin Professional with a view to supplying Martin Products for Hire, Sale and Installation.

It is really just formalising what we have been doing for the last few years but it encourages us to commit more strongly behind the product. We look forward to profiling the new LED MAC350 in the very near future.

We will build up our library over the next few weeks so if you need any help, information or demos please call us

The 17th July was the official sponsors day for Freuchie Cricket Club and some of black light staff were able to attend the day. It included a fabulous lunch and amazingly good weather.

The good news was that Black Light’s Jock Wallace was in at number 2 batsman and was Freuchie’s highest scorer on the day the bad news was that Dumfries were just that bit better overall. Despite the setback I think it is fair to say everyone enjoyed themselves and black light is still very happy to continue the sponsorship deal.

Hopefully we can look forward to greater success in the future.
