About Our Creative Lighting

Transform the look of any venue and create the perfect atmosphere at your event with fantastic, easy-to-use mood lighting fixtures! Some fixtures even offer wireless control, battery operation and are weather-proof for outdoor usage.

Wireless. Battery Powered. Waterproof.

Our most advanced mood lighting fixtures offer full wireless control, battery operation (with more than 8 hour battery life!) and are IP rated making them suitable for outdoor use.

A wireless controller will let you remotely set the lights to output any static colours of your choice, or to chase or fade through colours. Set the lights to change colour to a specific tempo, or to the beat of music. Controllers also provide 0-100% dimming functionality and optional strobing effect.

This great versatility in up-lighting means that you could for example leave the lights to output a fixed colour during a meal, and then set them to colour change to the beat of music once the entertainment gets underway at your event.

The Ultimate Convenience in Creative Lighting

With no wires to install, these lights provide the perfect option where access to power is limited, and what’s more, there are no unsightly cables or potential trip-hazards to worry about. Set-up times are reduced to just minutes! Simply place the lights down in their desired position and switch them on!

Festoon and Fairy Lighting

Festoon and Fairy Lighting have become very fashionable in recent years. Warm white LED festoon lighting provides the perfect lighting option for a rustic themed wedding, with stunning hanging lighting chains that not only look appealing but also give off a subtle low-light glow that will be bright enough to light up the tables and outdoor spaces at your evening reception.

AV Xpert offers waterproof festoon and fairy lighting that will link together to create strings of between 5 and 30 metres in length. These lights can be installed by our expert event technicians inside or outside your venue. They are very versatile and can be hung from special festoon poles (available for hire from us), structural beams, marquee ceilings, outdoor structures and even trees.

What Our Customers Say

I just wanted to thank you and your team for the wonderful lights that you did for our wedding on Saturday.

The filament light floral ring was amazing and worked so well and the star shaped fairy lights were all we needed for the ceiling.

I particularly appreciated your patience working through a number of options for me over the phone and the way you were accessible and took my calls so readily.

The hardest bit for the client is working out what will look good within their budget and you were endlessly patient and good at communicating with me and the florist.

With many thanks again and warmest wishes.

I wanted to write and say a huge thank you to you and your team for such a fabulous job over the last few days. From start to finish you have been a joy to work with - in spite of some challenging requests!

 Nothing has been too much trouble, and I love working with professionals who find solutions and crack on with the task in hand.

 Please thank everyone on your team for a job well done.

From the first call to the handover, AX Xpert were everything a rental company should aim for. They were very informative about what kit I would want and were very understanding of my needs. Helped me load and unload all the gear and my favourite part of working with them was always being able to talk to a real person. Couldn't recommend them more, they facilitated one of the most amazing parties I've ever been to.

Perfect. Used two lights for a UV party for roughly 100 people. They did the job, lit up the room really well, were easy to use and had a good effect with plenty of opportunities for funny photos! The service was also great. The AV Xpert team replied promptly to emails, answered all our queries and were super-helpful on the night, both with set-up and the collection/clear up. Thanks!

I hired a mirror ball to be the centre piece of my 50th birthday party. I was not disappointed. The mirror ball looked amazing and the service we received from AV Xpert was excellent. They were so helpful answering all our questions before the event and provided a slick and timely service on the day. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely outstanding service. I contacted AV Xpert for our NYE party. They seamlessly provided expert advice on the lighting and effects we should go for. When they turned up to do the installation the technician couldn’t have been more knowledgable and helpful. Customer service levels are exceptional and rare. Well done to the AV Xpert team. We look forward to using your services again!

The team at AV Xpert recently provided the lighting for our wedding - everything from lasers and disco lights to uplighters and festoon lighting. The customer service was fantastic! They listened to what we wanted and advised on what they could provide even undertaking a site visit. The lighting looked great and was all set up/taken down for us. All for a reasonable price. Highly recommended!
