Designed for School Halls, Drama Studios and Performance Spaces

Many schools rely on outdated stage lighting, ageing dimmer systems or audio equipment that no longer meets the needs of modern teaching and performance. We help education customers move towards reliable, easy to operate systems that are suitable for both staff and students.

Our school stage lighting solutions can include LED stage lighting, intelligent fixtures, theatre lighting, profile spots, fresnels, wash lighting, lighting control/DMX systems, dimmer bypass solutions and complete stage lighting kits. We also support audio requirements including microphones, loudspeakers, mixing desks, amplifiers, and school (sports) hall sound systems.

From compact stage lighting for primary school halls through to more advanced professional stage lighting equipment for secondary schools, colleges and universities, theatres and performing arts spaces, we can help build a package around your exact requirements.

School Stage Lighting Solutions

The right stage lighting can make a major difference to school productions, assemblies, drama lessons and presentation spaces. A well specified system improves visibility, creates atmosphere and gives staff greater control during performances and events.

For schools moving away from traditional halogen lighting, LED stage lighting can offer reduced heat output, lower running costs and more flexible colour control. In many cases, schools can also benefit from a simplified control setup that is easier for teachers, technicians and students to operate.

School Audio Systems

Clear, reliable audio is just as important as good lighting. A school hall sound system needs to support speech, music, assemblies, drama productions, presentations and occasional events without becoming difficult to operate.

We help specify school audio systems that include loudspeakers, amplifiers, mixers, wireless/wired microphones, media playback, Bluetooth audio and simple wall controls where required.

Not Sure What Your School Needs?

You do not need to know the exact products before contacting us. Many schools come to us with a simple requirement such as “we need better stage lighting”, “our school hall sound system is not loud enough”, or “we need a quote for new theatre lighting equipment”.

Our team can help translate that requirement into a practical equipment list, with options to suit your space, budget and intended use.
