How pricing works
Every booking day is tagged as a show or standby day so you only pay full rate for the days the console is actually on stage.
100%
Show day
Full-rate days — the console is live on stage or desk.
20%
Standby day
Discounted days held in reserve, in transit, or between show dates.
Multi-day rate
Longer hires are discounted automatically — standby days always 20%.
Lighting controller hire, NZ-wide

Console hire questions
What lighting consoles do you have for hire?
Our hire fleet is built on ChamSys: MagicQ MQ500M, MQ250M and MQ70 for touring and production work, the MagicQ Compact Connect for control-anywhere setups, and QuickQ 10 and QuickQ 20 desks for fast, simple shows. Every console page shows live availability.
Can I hire a lighting controller for just one day?
Yes — everything is priced per day, GST-exclusive. Show days are charged at 100% and standby days (travel, dark days) at a reduced rate, and longer hires earn automatic multi-day discounts.
Do you deliver across New Zealand?
Yes. We're NZ owned and operated with stock in Dunedin, Christchurch, Nelson and Palmerston North, and we freight consoles nationwide. Pick your dates at checkout and choose delivery or pickup.
