That's where the Hollywood Lights Rental Department can help.  With our expert design assistance and a little common sense, you can generate the all of the excitement and drama you've dreamed of without stressing your budget on equipment ownership.

We maintain an extensive inventory of theatrical lighting, dimming and control, special effects equipment including, strobes, black lights, fog machines, mirror balls, beacons, small sound systems, wireless microphones, audio-visual equipment and more.   And all of our equipment is tested, cleaned and repaired after every rental.  You can trust that gear rented from Hollywood Lights has passed several detailed inspections and is being maintained as if our reputation depends on it -- because it does.

And if top quality gear at reasonable pricing isn't enough, we offer a 24/7 Customer Support  pager service specifically for our rental clients' needs and emergencies.  Your questions or problems will be answered within 30 minutes of your page, seven days a week!
