Custom protection for stage lighting and fixtures with precision-engineered foam profiles, modular storage systems, and intelligent cable management for touring and events professionals.
Why our bespoke lighting cases are superior
Trusted by lighting designers, touring productions, and event companies across the UK who need reliable protection for high-value fixtures in demanding touring environments.
With LED moving heads costing £5,000+ to delicate intelligent fixtures with precision motors and optics, professional lighting equipment is a substantial investment which needs to be protected correctly. Standard cases rarely account for the specific protection requirements of modern lighting equipment: fragile lenses, sensitive moving parts, protruding yokes, and accessory storage. Our lighting flight cases are engineered specifically for fixtures that need more than basic cushioning. Built in our London workshops with attention to lens protection, yoke clearance, and accessory organisation, these cases protect your lighting investment whilst maintaining the accessibility touring crews need during rapid load-ins.
Touring lighting equipment faces brutal transport conditions. Multiple venue moves per week, constant truck loading, stacking in tight storage spaces, and outdoor festival environments all threaten expensive fixtures. Our lighting cases integrate features that reflect real-world touring demands: foam profiles that support fixtures at structural points without lens contact, cable storage preventing expensive terminated looms from damage, accessory compartments for gobos and colour filters, and modular designs that stack efficiently with your other equipment. We engineer cases understanding that your fixtures need to arrive at every venue ready for immediate rigging, not requiring repair from transport damage.
We approach each lighting case based on the specific fixture model and your touring requirements. Moving head fixtures need yoke clearance and base support that prevents motor strain. LED panels require protection that prevents impact damage to expensive LED arrays whilst avoiding heat buildup. PAR cans and profile spots need barn door storage and lamp protection. Wireless DMX fixtures need battery compartment access and charging cable organisation. Using manufacturer specifications and hands-on examination when possible, we create foam profiles matched to every protrusion, mounting point, and delicate component. Cases are built for the long-term reliability that touring productions and rental companies demand.
Options for Your Lighting Case
Precision foam profiling matched to fixture dimensions and lens protection.
Modern lighting fixtures have complex three-dimensional shapes that generic foam blocks cannot accommodate properly. Moving heads have protruding yokes, tilting mechanisms, and lens assemblies that need clearance and protection. LED panels have arrays that must never experience point pressure. Profile spots have shutters, rotating gobo wheels, and optical trains requiring specific support. We create foam profiles using CNC cutting matched to exact fixture dimensions, accounting for every protrusion and vulnerable component. Lens areas receive foam surrounds without surface contact, preventing scratches or pressure that could affect focus mechanisms. Yoke support sections cradle moving heads without stressing motors or positioning systems. Base sections distribute weight at structural mounting points rather than delicate housings. For fixtures with multiple accessories (barn doors, colour frames, frost filters), we integrate storage that keeps everything together whilst preventing damage from items shifting during transport.
Construction matched to touring environments and stacking requirements.
Lighting cases live in trucks, face constant loading and unloading, and stack with heavy audio and video equipment. We engineer construction reflecting actual touring conditions, not ideal scenarios. Heavy-duty 9mm or 12mm birch plywood construction withstands the weight of stacked cases during transport. Steel-reinforced corners protect edges from impact during truck loading. Stackable designs with interlocking features prevent cases sliding during vehicle movement. Recessed hardware creates flat stacking surfaces and prevents damage to adjacent cases. For touring productions with tight truck packing requirements, we can create modular dimensions that maximise vehicle space efficiency. Outdoor festival cases receive waterproof sealing and protective edging. Rental company cases get identification systems and durable finishes surviving constant handling. Each case is built understanding it will face years of touring abuse, not occasional studio moves.
Modular designs that integrate with complete lighting systems.
Lighting rarely travels as individual fixtures. Productions move complete systems: moving heads, LED panels, control desks, dimmers, cable looms, and accessories. Our modular case designs create efficient touring packages where everything stacks together logically. Matching case dimensions across fixture types create stable stacks for truck loading. Cases integrate with standard rack dimensions for combined audio and lighting systems. For productions running multiple shows simultaneously, standardised case sizing makes truck packing efficient regardless of which fixtures are on which rig. Rental companies benefit from cases that accommodate different fixture models within the same footprint, reducing inventory storage requirements. Cable cases with matching dimensions stack with fixture cases, keeping systems together. Accessory cases for gobos, colour scrollers, and spare parts integrate with the main system, ensuring technical crews have everything needed at every venue.
Cable management and accessory storage integrated with fixture protection.
Lighting fixtures travel with numerous accessories: power cables, DMX data cables, safety bonds, clamps, barn doors, colour frames, gobo sets, and spare parts. Our cases integrate storage solutions keeping everything organised and protected. Dedicated cable compartments prevent expensive terminated DMX and power cables from tangling or connector damage. Safety bond storage with securing points prevents chains from shifting during transport. Clamp sections with foam organisation protect threaded hardware and moving parts. Gobo storage with protective sleeves prevents expensive glass patterns from breakage. Colour filter storage keeps gels and scrollers organised and undamaged. For wireless DMX fixtures, battery compartment access and charging cable storage maintain system functionality. Technical crews appreciate cases where accessories are immediately accessible during load-in without unpacking entire fixture protection. Everything arrives together, organised, and ready for rigging.
