SCHOOL AUDITORIUM LIGHTING:
School auditoriums host everything from spring musicals to graduation ceremonies. A great school lighting system needs to be powerful enough for a professional production and simple enough for a student tech crew to operate confidently. We design systems with both requirements in mind and include crew training in every integration.
CHURCH AND WORSHIP LIGHTING:
Houses of worship need lighting that serves multiple purposes — reverent and warm for traditional services, dynamic for contemporary worship, and bright and even for video and streaming. We design worship lighting systems that serve all of these needs from a single easy-to-use control interface.

FAQs
How much does a school auditorium lighting system cost?
1
A basic school auditorium lighting upgrade (LED fixtures, dimmer racks, console) typically runs $25,000 to $75,000. A full theatrical system with moving heads and a professional console ranges from $75,000 to $200,000+ depending on the size of the space and scope of the project.
Can you replace our existing incandescent fixtures with LED?
2
Yes. LED retrofits are a large part of our work. LED fixtures dramatically reduce energy and maintenance costs while delivering better color rendering and dimming performance than incandescent alternatives.
What lighting consoles do you work with?
3
We design and program systems using Chamsys consoles — professional-grade lighting control used in theaters and performing arts facilities across the country. We specify fixtures from ADJ Professional, Chauvet Professional, and Elation based on the requirements of your specific venue.
Can student crews operate the system?
4
Absolutely. We design with student operation in mind and include crew training in every integration — pre-programmed cue stacks, preset looks, and simple operating modes so a student operator can run a full show confidently.
