  • On’s Outdoor Lighting Stock Exceeds Expectations

    21/02/20

    Over the last couple of years, On has been beefing up its stock in IP rated architectural lighting. We now have an extensive stock of outdoor lighting equipment to compliment any event. We previously featured our COLORado, Q40 LED Panel and to add to this, we have just taken delivery of the eLumin8 Endura 7HEX12 LED Par Can.

    Our newest lighting purchase from eLumen8, is from their latest range of IP rated exterior pars. The heavy-duty Endura series are rental ready IP65 fixtures made for the most demanding of applications.

    Built to last, these professional pars have robust, all-weather housings allowing the user the flexibility to use them in a wide range of environments, including outdoor events and touring where protection from moisture, rain and dust is essential. With 9 different LED output and colour options available from cool and warm white through to RGBW, RGBA.

    With flicker-free operation, this series is also perfectly suited for both live and TV applications thanks to a 3,600Hz refresh rate. They also have an abundance of functions including DMX, colour macro, change, fade, strobe, master/slave and 4 selectable dimmer curves.

    We recently took these, and our Q40’s, out on the road and put them through their paces at a month-long outdoor installation at a English Heritage site in Worcestershire, Witley Court and Gardens. Our team fully designed and installed a number a of feature areas and lit up much of the grounds and house to create a sell-out magical outdoor experience, Enchanted Witley.

    During the month-long install, our fixtures endured heavy rains, wind and freezing temperatures and survived the ordeal with ease and after a quick clean-up were ready to go again.

    All of our Outdoor lighting fixtures are available for dry hire at competitive rates along with a large outdoor power distribution range.

  • On Increases Warehousing Space with the Addition of a New Mezzanine

    03/02/20

    Following the growth in the business over the last few years, and in particular with the requirement to create more space for additional planned rental equipment, we have spent the last month installing and commissioning a new mezzanine floor.

    2020 will see the complete overhaul of our existing microphone stock together with further investments in rigging and additional PA equipment. The majority of this will allow flex in our operation to meet additional demands as a result of the recent partnership with Birmingham venue, The Eastside Rooms.

    Key highlights of the installation are: Creation of an additional 277 m2 floor space, inclusion of a 3m wide fork bay. The mezzanine is 3m from the floor with a 2.7m ceiling underneath maximizing all available space beneath. The mezzanine has been constructed using powder-coated steel beams and a 38mm chipboard floor to allow for 4.8kn per SQM. Access to the upper floor has been gained by installation of a 32ft long dog leg ramp.

    To further build on our sustainability focus, environmentally friendly eco lights have been installed that turn on only as and when needed via motion sensors.

    A dust-proof steel wall, 7m Tall at the apex and 15.6m wide has also been installed to separate the fabrication department from the warehouse facilitating the growth in both departments. Fabrication have gained approximately 15m x 11mm of extra build and testing space giving us a new large space to test build exhibition stands.
