Lighting

Professional lighting is often viewed as an unnecessary luxury when budgeting for a function; when in actual fact, it is often the difference between an average event and an outstanding one. Our sister company, Batmink Ltd, has been supplying professional lighting equipment since 1983, and over 25 years industry experience, combined with the very latest products ensures that we can supply total lighting solutions for the following applications:

Marquee Lighting	Stage Lighting	Atmospheric Lighting

Our customised lighting showroom can demonstrate the very latest in lighting technology and illustrate the simplest way to create the desired effect. Below is a quick guide to some of our most commonly used lighting products…

LED lanterns provide a number of lighting solutions.

Their colour changing capabilities mean that each unit can perform several functions, from colour washing the walls to providing ambient light whilst dining, each unit can then be switched to provide more dramatic effects as the evening progresses.

They provide an excellent background lighting system to which you can add feature lighting products for real excitement.

Based on low power LED technology, they are ideal for use in marquees or areas where power is a consideration, and ideal for lowering the carbon footprint of your event!

LED WASHLIGHTS

These are designed to wash a large area with colour light. They feature high-brightness LEDs which draw very little power. Each unit contains Red, Green and Blue LEDs, allowing any colour to be generated, and colour-changing effects to be achieved.

Washlights are effective situated up to 20 metres away from the object they are illuminating.

This wall of illuminated panels will add a wow factor to any dancefloor. Reminiscent of 70s illuminated dancefloors, this feature is a fantastic addition to any 70s theme party, but is equally at home at many other types of event.

CLUB, DISCO AND MOVING LIGHTING

Whether you want to recreate a Seventies 'Saturday Night Fever' style disco, or a contemporary 'Ministry of Sound' style night club - we will give you a night to remember.
From the classic, but ever popular strobe and UV units, to modern scanners and gobos; from the inimitable mirror balls to computer controlled intelligent moving heads; we offer total entertainment lighting solutions.

CONVENTIONAL LANTERNS

We stock a wide range of conventional lanterns to suit every application:

Par 38 - Ideal for uplighting the perimeter rooms and marquees. These lanterns draw only 150w each meaning that up to 18 units can be safely powered from one 13A socket.

Par 56 - Uses a 300w lamp, making it brighter than the Par 38 and therefore suited to situations where there is a lot of ambient light, or where a larger object is to be illuminated.

Par 64 - Similar to the Par 56, but can accept a 500w or 1000w lamp, so suited to large venues.

Fresnel - Projects a soft-edged beam with precise control over the angle. The beam can also be shaped using a 'barndoor' attachment, which allows very specific areas to be illuminated.

Profile - Projects a hard-edged, focused beam of light. Profile lanterns can be used to project shapes and designs using a metal or glass disc called a Gobo. These can be custom-made, allowing logos to be projected for example.

All of these lanterns can be fitted with a coloured gel, and can be floor mounted or hung (please specify when ordering).

UV LANTERNS

UV or Ultra-Violet light sources will enhance a number of our backdrops and props, the most obvious being in our Space, Haloween, and Atlantis ranges.

The 400w UV Canon is ideal for large venues, and is best hung from a truss or mounted on a stand.

For smaller venues the Ribalta fittings are an ideal UV light source. They are basically flourescent fittings, in a black metal housing with a reflector for optimum output and fitted with an ultra-violet tube. These draw very little power and can be situated on the floor or hung from above.

Alongside the obvious use in Christmas trees, pea lights are ideal for adding sparkle to palm trees, or any of our other artificial trees in themes such as Las Vega, Caribbean, Paris, Hollywood etc.

We use Ultra Bright, extra durable Pea Lights, and stock both tungsten and L.E.D. based strings.

These strings of lampholders are intended for outdoor use.

They can be fitted with ordinary coloured lamps or small clear pygmy lamps for a more sophisticated look.

This unit projects an effect which emulates light being diffracted by water. It is ideal for enhancing 'watery' or nautical themes (for example, Venetian and Atlantis).

These are one of our most popular hire items. They use a piece of silk to safely simulate a flame, and from just a few metres away, they look entirely convincing.

They are available in three types - a bowl format either mounted on a 6 foot stem or with chains attached to form a chandalier, and a giant floor standing version as seen opposite.
