Default NY Rental Companies

Does anyone know of some good companies in or close to New York state to rent lighting equipment from? Specifically cable and stage-pin/twist-lock adapters. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I use Contemporary Lights out of Stamford, CT for everything i do in the tri-state area- their # is 203-359-8200.

There is also 4Wall down in Jersey- 806-492-5540

SLD Lighting in the city, i dont have their number off the top of my head, but google SLD Lighting.

But as i said, i love contemporary and they will deliver to you or Ship to you anything you want.

Hope that helps

The budget is basically whatever we need, and we're going to need in the neighborhood of 20 of them, the theatre we had to use as a last resort this year has all twist-lock connectors, and a limited number of fixtures, but all the places we can borrow fixtures from have stage pin connectors. There is only one school in the area that also has twist-lock and they won't let us borrow. Thank you for all of your suggestions, I will look into them, we have, however, chosen not to use SSSL.

Have you had problems with them in the past?(PM)
Would it be easier to just temporarily swap out plugs?
