Lighting Rental in NYC
Stage wash, key light, moving heads, follow spots, gobos and truss, planned for New York rooms and delivered on our own trucks, with lighting techs to run it.
Event Lighting Rental for New York Rooms
New York rooms are hard to light. Ballrooms with low ceilings, rooftops that go from sunset to dark mid-program, white-walled galleries, and landmark venues with strict rules on what can hang where. ProSho rents event lighting that is planned for the room, and the lighting techs to run it.
You can rent the gear, and we can send the crew: stage wash and key light for presenters, moving heads for concerts and reveals, follow spots, gobos for logos, consoles, truss and towers. We plan power with the venue, because many New York rooms have limited circuits, and we use LED fixtures where power or heat is tight.

How a Lighting Rental Comes Together
Room and Program
We learn the room, the ceiling height, the power and what happens on stage.
Lighting Plan
We pick the fixtures and plot where each one hangs or stands.
Hang and Focus
Our crew installs, focuses and programs the rig.
Run and Strike
A lighting tech runs the show or hands it to you, then we strike on schedule.
Where We Light Across the City
We deliver lighting rentals across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Each kind of New York room needs its own approach, and we plan it before the truck leaves the warehouse.
Ballrooms need key light that clears a low ceiling. Rooftops need a rig that works in daylight and after dark, and survives the wind. Galleries and landmark spaces need fixtures on stands and truss instead of anything hung from the building.

Lighting Questions We Hear Most
Do you rent event lighting in NYC with a technician?
Yes. You can rent the lighting on its own, or add a lighting tech who programs the console, runs the show and strikes the rig.
What lighting can I rent for a ballroom event in New York?
Stage wash and key light for the program, moving heads for reveals, follow spots for walk-ups, gobos for logos, and color across the room for the dinner.
Can you light a rooftop event in NYC?
Yes. We use free-standing truss and stands rated for the wind, and plan the rig so it works in daylight and after dark.
What if the venue has limited power?
We check the venue’s power before the event and use LED fixtures where power or heat is tight, with cable runs planned for safety.
