Scenic Wash Lighting

A great way to set the mood in the evening at an event is by using an LED wash light. Our outdoor lighting hire fixtures are perfect for lighting up large scale buildings, trees and landscapes. Most commonly used for wedding lighting hire and event lighting hire, our LED Fusion Wash lights can set the perfect scene with any colour of your choosing. The fixtures are outdoor rated IP65 RGBW, with snap-on beam shaping filters for a precise control of light output. We also have options to project gobo / logo images onto walls, perfect for sponsor branding and theming. 

The Rubens Forum Theatre Melbourne

Stage beam lights

In concert lighting design, you will most likely require some kind of beam light to create movement or to create stage spotlights. Our profile fixtures have fast reaction times and brilliant colours. The fixtures have beams of light that are visible without any atmosphere or haze in the room. This is a big help for venues that do not allow haze. Although when haze is in use, the beams of light are enhanced allowing the lighting designer to literally paint the air with colour. For an even more creative design, you may be interested in our hybrid GLP GT1 – 3 in 1’s. These fixtures work as a spot, wash and beam fixture with gobos, colour wheels and a dimmer! One light to create many different beam angle variations, perfect for changing it up for each scene in your theatre lighting.

Peking Duk Strobe Lights

Strobe Light Hire

There is nothing more powerful than the strobe light to add the intensity at the right moment! LED strobes are commonly used in clubs and parties, giving the illusion of slow motion. Strobes can take your DJ performance or party to the next level. As with other LED fixtures, the output intensity can be adjusted to the required level. These days our strobes are not just used for DJ lights. Our range of strobes are now an integral part of the show design with brilliant colours and also video content! Although a powerful effect for your performance, strobes could potentially trigger an epileptic seizure and should be used responsibly.

The fixtures can interlock together to create walls with many possibilities. In addition, SWS also stock the JTE PATT 2013’s that take inspiration from the vintage broadcast lighting.

The Gobo Effect

SWS stock a range of fixtures that you can add gobos to! A gobo is a stencil or template placed inside or in front of a light source to control the shape of the emitted light. SWS Melbourne create gobos that include logos to project branding on walls for event lighting. Gobos allow you to break away from the standard look that the fixture usually achieves. At SWS we have also created custom gobos that have specifically been designed to achieve more interesting shapes on stage as well as specialised rays of light. Contact us to chat about the gobo options to achieve your desired result.
