Moving Head Rental

Moving Lights Rental That Follows Your Program

A moving head is a light that turns and tilts on its own. One fixture can wash the stage in color, pick out a speaker, then sweep across the room. Every look is programmed ahead, so it changes right on cue.

Our moving head light rental covers a few fixtures for one presenter’s walk-on at a company meeting, or a full rig over a concert stage. Our designers program the looks, and an operator runs them live. Want the beams to show in the air? Add haze machine rental.

  • Programmed to your cues
  • Colors in your brand palette
  • Run live by our operators

  • Wash A soft, wide pool of color that covers the stage or a wall
  • Spot or profile A sharp-edged light that can pick out one person or project a pattern
  • Beam A tight, bright shaft of light that really stands out in haze

Moving Head Light Rental FAQs

What is a moving head light?

A moving head is a light on a motorized yoke that pans and tilts on its own. It can change color, focus and pattern, all run from a lighting console.

What’s the difference between a wash, a spot and a beam?

A wash gives soft, wide color. A spot has a sharp edge and can project patterns. A beam is a tight shaft of light that stands out in haze.

How many moving heads do I need?

It depends on the stage, the room and the looks you want. A walk-on for one presenter can need just a few. Send the venue and the program, and we’ll suggest a count.

Do moving lights need haze?

Not to work. But the beams only show in the air when there’s haze. Without it, you see the light where it lands.

Who programs the moving lights?

Our designers program the looks over DMX, the control signal lighting consoles use, and an operator runs them during the show.

Can moving heads follow a speaker on stage?

Yes. They can pick up a speaker on a walk-on and stay with them, much like a follow spot.

Can moving lights match our brand colors?

Yes. We program the colors to your palette, and they can change on cue through the show.

How much does moving head light rental cost?

It depends on the number and type of fixtures, truss, programming, an operator and the number of days. Send the venue and the date, and we’ll quote it.
