Testimonials
Below are some of the comments from our clients that we have worked with over the last few years. Click on each photo to learn more about the project.
"Working with A.C. Lighting for the electrical install, and ultimately the supply of all stage rigging, masking and Lx equipment was made so easy by the professional approach and understanding of their customers' needs. The entire team from the Project Manager (Adam Beaumont) to the Sales team and even the installation engineers made working with A.C. such a pleasure. Whenever we changed our minds during the install, Adam was invaluable for the input he had in offering us advice and helping us to change our contract. The overall experience I had with A.C. was such that they will be highly recommended by me. A truly first class company!"
Chris Slater, Technical Manager, Northern Stage
"We're very pleased with the new lighting rig. It's given us the scope to put on more small-scale theatrical performances in Cinema 1 and provide much more tailor-made solutions to clients. A.C. Lighting has done an excellent job and provided a very professional service."
Bob Allen, Barbicans Technical Dept
"It was a genuine pleasure working with A.C. Lighting, who had a great attitude and finished the project to a very high standard."
Stace Project Manager Adrian Murray
"We needed a company who could supply all the equipment from the grid to the lighting console and do the install. Our timescales and budget were tight and we didn't even know what the actual set would look like, but A.C. Lighting made it all a lot easier. Their experience was evident and we are very happy with the quality of their work. Later on in the project, when we had to make changes and additions once the set arrived, and also adjust the dates to fit in with other work that was going on, they reacted promptly and were very flexible and understanding to ensure that the studio was finished in time."
David Upton, Project Technical Manager for Sit-up
"A.C. Lighting worked with a positive "can-do" attitude. They coordinated their requirements effectively both in house and with the other Trade Contractors on site. The efforts put in by AC Lighting contributed to the V&A Garden project being completed on time and opened to great reviews."
Anthony Swain, Project Manager at Lend Lease Projects
"Both Equation as designer and AC Lighting as specialist supplier/programmer have worked closely with our electrical division to develop the 'feature' lighting system. From a distance it really does give the Spinnaker Tower a mysterious and ethereal presence on the waterfront at night."
Mowlem project manager Jon Neale
"We are extremely pleased with the technical support and assistance received from A.C. Despite the difficult project conditions presented by working at such a height and the wind constraints, they developed our brief into a workable solution which ensured the lighting designs were executed without a hitch."
Imagination's Lighting Designer, Tony Rimmer
"A.C. Lighting's Special Projects team were proactive throughout the pre-trials, installation and commissioning. The Solar fittings and ETC control system have worked well together to produce the effects we were seeking."
LightMatters Director, Graham Large
"I'm absolutely delighted with the dramatic impact of the lighting. The effect is mesmerising and has created a unique landmark within the city of Dublin".
David Hunt of Hunt McGarry, Architects of the Esat Digifone Millennium Structure
"I am extremely pleased with the result in the exhibition. Ray Dolby came up with a realistic solution to my brief and imaginatively used a limited budget. The A.C. team were a very professional, friendly group who worked with us to a tight installation deadline."
Trista Quenzer, Natural History Museum exhibition designer
"The specialist lighting equipment and control systems we specified were technically complex, and the clients installation and commissioning schedules were very demanding. A.C. Lighting approached the installation of the lighting with enthusiasm, knowledge and flexibility which ultimately ensured its success"
Jonathan Rycroft, Associate of Into Lighting Design for Lowry Designer Outlet
"A.C. carried out the project without question, very efficiently and quickly. They delivered my lighting specification brief to the letter and both myself and the school are delighted with the result."
Gary Brunton, Project Consultant on behalf of Fotheringay School
"A.C. Lighting provided us with a terrific deal on the lighting rig for our dual purpose green screen and motion capture studio. The quality of service was excellent throughout the process, as a range of options were offered and explained, which led to our being able to make an informed decision in relation to what we needed. We were provided with good quality lights at a great price. The installation was undertaken in conjunction with providers of other installations in the same space, with a professional level of coordination from A.C. Lighting throughout. Most essentially, our students are now enjoying the use of a professional standard facility with a great lighting rig and the work produced subsequently has benefited greatly. Thanks A.C."
Stephen Partridge, Head of School - Media at Amersham and Wycombe College
"The college are extremely pleased with the end product and the technical support and assistance received from A.C. Lighting. Their Projects Division developed the colleges' brief into a workable solution, designing and installing the system to our requirements. They have provided a space and cost effective solution to a difficult operational problem of maintaining flexibility of the hall for sport use as well as a functional performance space."
Steve Oddy, Project Manager for Barnsley College
"A.C. Lighting have completed an excellent project in supplying and installing the technical facilities. They rose to the challenge of installing all equipment and extensive wiring work in just two weeks, and the theatre was ready to use after the third week."
East Berkshire College's Project Manager, David Coeshall
"I'm pleased with the end result from A.C. Lighting. Adam's been extremely helpful throughout the project. The equipment used is state-of-the-art, both theatres look great, and they kept within budget."
Hope College Senior Technician, Joanna Atkinson
"We're delighted with the new Litec system. It's very easy to rig and has enabled our students to gain first hand experience using industry standard lighting equipment on their own productions and professional shows we're hosting in the venue. A.C. have given us first class support throughout the project and the installation was completed smoothly to our timescale and budget."
Nicholas Taylor, Lecturer in Drama at the University of Huddersfield
"A.C. managed to do the job in a short turnaround. We knew that getting the lighting rig installed before the first show set-up would be tight, so they exceeded our expectations by managing to complete with a whole day to spare. Being such a tight install we also expected a certain amount of teething problems with our first shows, but the rig has performed faultlessly since going into use."
Oliver Nash, Audio-Visual Technician for the University of York
"A.C. Lighting have been professional & thorough throughout the NikeTown installation, making my job as lighting designer as smooth as possible. I look forward to working with them in the future."
Natasha Katz, Tony Award Winning LD
"A.C. Special Projects were very helpful and efficient and used their knowledge of theatre installs to provide facilities to spec."
Crin Claxton, Theatre Consultant, B6 Sixth Form College, Hackney
