Film Lighting Hire & Gaffer Hire in London
London Lighting is a London-based film lighting company providing professional film lighting hire, lighting equipment hire, production lighting and location lighting across Greater London and the UK. We supply industry-standard lighting equipment alongside experienced gaffers, sparks and lighting technicians for music videos, commercials, film, television and branded productions.
Whether you need individual lighting equipment, a complete lighting package or a full lighting crew with equipment and transport, we build the package around your production — not off a generic kit list. From East London soundstages and Shoreditch warehouses to Soho edit suites, Mayfair interiors and Thames-side night exteriors, our gaffers and lighting crew deliver responsive, DP-trusted lighting hire across every London borough.
Film Lighting, Equipment & Crew Hire
Film & Production Lighting Hire
Our core service is film lighting hire and production lighting in London. We supply high-output daylight punch, soft key sources, pixel-mapped tubes, HMIs and full grip and textiles — everything a Director of Photography needs to shape mood, texture and contrast on set. Productions hire from us for single-day music videos through to multi-day commercial campaigns and feature film exterior night shoots, with kit arriving pre-loaded in ULEZ-compliant Luton and Sprinter vans.
Lighting Equipment Hire
Hire professional film and production lighting equipment from our London inventory: Godox F600Bi and Aputure Nova soft lights, Aputure 1200c and 600d/c hard punch with 1.2K HMIs, Astera Titan tubes and Aputure MC accent fixtures, plus Kupo stands, double wind-ups, 8x8 and 12x12 frames, magic cloth, silk and ultrabounce textiles. Power distribution, silent Instagrid and EcoFlow battery stations and wireless CRMX DMX control complete the package. Dry-hire the equipment only, or have it arrive with a gaffer and crew.
Gaffer, Spark & Lighting Crew Hire
Engage an experienced Chief Lighting Technician (gaffer) with a trusted team of sparks, best boys and riggers — available as crew only or with full equipment and transport. Our London lighting crew work seamlessly with your DP across high-tempo promo videos, episodic TV drama, automotive commercials and indie features, fluent in wireless iPad control, silent battery power and heritage-venue rigging protocols.
Location Lighting
Location lighting is where a hire company proves its worth. Taking crew, equipment, power and transport onto a live London location — a rooftop in Shoreditch, a Grade-listed Westminster hall, a tidal Thames dock — demands logistics, power management and weatherproofing. Our vans arrive with silent battery power for zero-emission, zero-noise locations where diesel generators are prohibited, and we collaborate with your location manager on cable-crossing, power draw and borough council filming compliance.
Music Video & Commercial Lighting
Punchy, saturated, rhythm-reactive lighting for grime, drill, afrobeats and pop — pixel-mapped Astera tubes, moving heads, atmospheric haze and rapid rig changes across multiple London locations in a single day. For commercials, we bring precision diffusion, immaculate specular control and high-speed Phantom-ready rigs that hold up on every frame for automotive, luxury goods, fashion and broadcast advertising.
Lighting Packages
We build tailored lighting packages rather than renting off a fixed list. A typical London package might pair an Aputure 1200c daylight key with Godox soft sources, a run of Astera Titan tubes for accent and pixel effects, full Kupo grip and textiles, and a silent Instagrid battery for locations without mains power — all delivered in a single van with a gaffer and spark. Tell us your brief, dates and budget and we'll itemise a package with no hidden overtime traps.
