HSL invests another £2 million in kit

Blackburn UK based lighting and visual rental specialist HSL continues on the proactive investment path it followed throughout 2015, with another £2 million spent the last two months of the year, spread between a number of lighting brands including Martin by Harman, Philips, Robe and SGM.

HSL purchased Robe’s 1700 Watt BMFL Spot moving lights, 50 units joined the rental stock. More Robe DL range luminaires include a mix of DL4X LED spots and DLF LED washes. These, together with CycFX 8s and LEDWash 1200s were purchased to facilitate HSL’s theatre division, which included 30 festive season pantos on top of the regular touring theatre productions.

Another 60 x SGM G-Spots are added to the growing inventory of IP rated fixtures. These are on top of the 40 purchased in September 2015 that formed part of the lighting scheme on the roof of the O2 Arena in London for the duration of the Rugby World Cup which was designed by Projection Artworks and lit by Tim Routledge. 250 x Q7 LED were also purchased and directly sub-rented to an installation in central London.

Philips’ Showline range was again included in the latest HSL shopping spree, in the form of another forty Showline SL BAR 640 and 80 x E-Strip 10 LED battens, all of which were deployed up and down the country on a multiplicity of pantos from ‘Snow White’ to ‘Cinderella’.

Fifty-two new Philips Showline SL Beam 300 FX spot and wash moving lights came to the warehouse and went straight out on the Prodigy tour, with lighting by LD Andy Hurst. From Martin, HSL purchased 48 x new MAC Aura XB LED washes for general stock, together with 100 x Atomic LED strobes, 8 x MAC Viper Performances and 8 x Viper Washes.

Also forty Base Hazer Pros, 20 x Base Classic foggers, 20 x Base high powered foggers and 12 x Base touring smoke machines combined with fans were joined by another four JEM Glaciator X-Streams and 10 x MDG Atmosphere Haze machines.
