"Martin's Lights provided a genuinely stunning light show on the Newton Faulkner UK tour, with Martin himself designing and operating the impressive yet financially economical production. He also supplied all of the lighting equipment which was in excellent condition. I look forward to working with him again on the forthcoming Newton tour, with a larger production."
Patrick Hannan, tour manager/production manager, Newton Faulkner.

"I have worked with Martin’s Lights for several years now. This company has provided equipment and lighting designers for an annual performance in Douai Abbey, Berkshire presented by professional choir Singscape. The specification is always complicated, but Martin’s Lights has never failed to do a wonderful job. The staff are immensely kind and hard working, always calm, even when under severe time pressure, and extremely good at understanding a brief and suggesting ways to improve it. They are 100% reliable and I would never hesitate to recommend them."
Sarah Tenant-Flowers, Artistic Director, Singscape.


Lighting Design
Martin’s Lights has been supplying lighting services to all kinds of events for seventeen years and across the world, and is thus able to draw on a vast wealth of experience of concerts, tours, festivals, conferences, awards ceremonies, dinner-dances, charity shows and product launch events, staged in concert halls, theatres, clubs, arenas, marquees, hotels, churches, and outdoor stages of many kinds, as well as many more unusual venues. We therefore understand the need for flexibility and innovation, as well as careful planning, when designing a lighting system for an event of any size. Lighting and lighting systems can be designed from scratch, from a client’s loose idea, or to an accurate brief, and will often incorporate the latest L.E.D. and automated lighting fixtures. Our experience in the design of lighting systems will always take into account many factors, from the obvious- artistic and budgetary- to the perhaps less obvious, such as time, power and transport constraints for example.



Lighting hire and technicians
Martin’s Lights holds a large and continually increasing stock of lighting equipment for hire. Full details of this inventory can be seen on the equipment page. Equipment is supplied to a broad range of clients- local, national and international touring bands, freelance lighting designers and other lighting companies, concert venues of all kinds, schools, churches and local authority-run theatres, venues and events, other production and presentation companies and corporate end clients. Martin’s Lights also has a crew pool of skilled and experienced freelance lighting technicians, riggers, designers, programmers and operators on its books. We only use and recommend technicians with full Public Liability Insurance.



"Rock'n'Roll!"
Live music and concert touring is the staple diet of Martin's Lights, we have touring experience in venues from small clubs to arenas, as well as countless festivals, and the last time we counted, we’d done shows in around forty countries across five continents. We can provide a complete lighting system for a tour, concert or festival, an "extras" packages to add to in-house lighting systems on small- and medium-scale tours and anything in between, all with or without lighting designers and technicians. Have a look at the gallery page to see some of the bands and events we've illuminated.

Corporate production and presentation
Martin's Lights frequently services all kinds of "corporate" events- presentations, product launches, conferences and exhibitions, as well as company parties, gala dinners and dances and awards ceremonies, and has worked for many high-profile end clients such as the BBC, Vodafone, Jaguar and Microsoft. Such events can be serviced on a one-off, regular or even touring basis, and we are equally at home working directly with the end client, or through another production/presentation company. We can provide simple, elegant lighting for a conference with the presenters lit for cameras, and company colours or logos projected onto the set, and can also provide high-energy moving lighting, strobe and smoke effects for a spectacular product launch or an end-of-session party. Whatever the event, the work is always undertaken to the highest standards of health and safety, with site visits undertaken where necessary, all equipment supplied Portable Appliance Tested, and risk assessments and method statements provided where needed. All work is covered by comprehensive all-circumstances public liability insurance.
