The company was established in
November 1986 by Jon Pope. Jon had graduated from
the Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama in
June 1974 with a Diploma in Stage Management.
His interest in lighting design led him into the
concert touring world where he worked, amongst
others, with The Police, Status Quo, Diana Ross
and Sir Elton John, initially as an electrician,
then crew chief, and eventually as a lighting
designer.
In 1984 Jon became a freelance
lighting designer for the Events Industry specializing
in Conferences, Product Launches and Live Events.
Designs
to fit your needs and not our rental stock
We own a small stock of equipment,
including control desks, dimmers, cabling, and
conventional lamps, and offer these at competitive
rates. However, we design to suit your needs and
not our rental stock, and will rent in the appropriate
equipment for your project. We have good working
relationships with the major lighting rental companies
and will negotiate on your behalf to realise the
most cost-effective solutions.
As a result of our independence
from the automated lighting manufacturers, and
their affiliated rental companies, we choose the
appropriate light for your project, and are not
restricted to the inventory of any particular
rental company..
CAD Facility
We operate the C.A.S.T. Wysiwyg lighting-design
package. This is the industry’s de-facto
lighting design software. We can import AutoCAD
d.w.g.files, and export them back in either d.w.g.
or pdf formats. We can create visualizations of
your set, and allow you to “walk through”
the set.
How we can help you
With a wealth of experience accumulated
from nearly 30 years in the entertainment industry,
we offer a variety of solutions to your lighting
design requirements.
Pre-production and on-site
fees tailored to the scale of your project:
We run a three-tier pricing
policy, based on the scale of your project.
Small, medium and large, with our rates aligned accordingly.
These are available upon enquiry.
