Lighting Equipment Rentals in GTA: Best Prices, Quality, and Service

While designing your event, the lighting component is one that should never be overlooked or underestimated. Great lighting rentals quickly become of utmost importance to your event’s overall success. Effective lighting equipment can make the difference between mundane and extraordinary events. As one of the top audiovisual production companies, we provide a wide range of lighting rental equipment to help make your occasion visually appealing and unforgettable. Once known as expensive, bulky, and power-consuming fixtures, our vast array of lighting rentals equipment with LED fixtures has turned the landscape of the past into bright splashes of luminous color, best suited for your brand and event. Whether the application is subtle and understated to extravagant and theatrical, our vast array of conventional and moving LED fixtures will surely fit your lighting design palate.

What we light with

  • LED uplighting — the quickest way to change a room, washing walls, drapes and columns in any colour.
  • Moving heads — beam, spot and wash fixtures for stages, dance floors, entrances and concerts.
  • Stage and speaker lighting — profile spots, washes and pin spots, so the people at the lectern and the acts on stage are properly lit.
  • Gobos and logo projection — patterns, textures and your logo projected onto walls, floors and backdrops.
  • Truss — goalposts, portals and totems to hang lighting where a room has nothing to hang it from.
  • Effects and control — haze, lighting control desks and dimmers.

What lighting does at an event

It sets the room before anyone speaks. At IBX Services' galas at The Eglinton Grand, the same room looked different every year because of the light: a rippling gold texture across the stage wall in 2018, strong red walls and a swirling magenta stage in 2019, and two yellow moons on a field of stars in 2020, with the room blacked out for a troupe of dancers in LED suits.

It makes an entrance. For the OMHA championships at Garnet B. Rickard in Clarington, we built a truss arch on the ice with four moving heads, dimmed the arena and brought each player out through haze into their own spot. At Vantage Venues, two moving heads threw stars and arrows onto the doors to lead guests in.

It carries a brand. Sponsor logos projected in gold onto a stage wall, a client's logo projected onto the outside of the building at Atlantis, Ontario Place, uplighting matched to a company's colours at a golf tournament dinner.

And it can be the show. At a hip-hop concert at Mingles Social Club, moving-head beams, lasers and haze did most of the work.

Rent it, or have us run it

Uplighting and simple packages can be rented on their own; we will show you the basics when you pick them up. Larger rigs — truss, moving heads, anything that needs programming — go out with our technicians, who set up, focus and run the lighting through the event.

Lighting questions

Do you use LED or conventional fixtures?
Both. Most of our inventory is LED, which runs cooler and draws far less power, alongside conventional fixtures where a design calls for them.
Can you project our logo?
Yes. We project logos and patterns with gobos onto walls, floors, backdrops and even the outside of a building.
Can I rent uplighting on its own?
Yes. We will show you how to set it up and change colours when you pick it up.
Can you light an event for cameras as well as the room?
Yes. For recorded and hybrid events we rig broadcast lighting on truss so speakers look right on the stream as well as in person.
Do you bring truss if the venue has no rigging points?
Yes. Truss goalposts, portals and totems let us hang lighting in rooms that have nothing to hang it from, including an arena floor.
