HSL makes massive technology investment

Blackburn based lighting and video rental specialist HSL Group has again increased its investment spend. Fixtures like the Robe MegaPointe and the Martin MAC Encore are in stock at HSL, together with products from GLP, SGM and VariLite. Other top brands on the recent HSL shopping list have included Claypaky and Solaris.

Martin purchases have included MAC Encore Performances, in both warm and cool white versions. HSL has also bought substantial quantities of MAC Quantum Washes, Axioms and Auras, and added a ‘shed pile’ of Rush PAR RGBW Zooms to the inventory for the first time.

Furthermore, Robe’s MegaPointes have been purchased across the HSL Group for immediate use by HSL out of Blackburn and Southampton based rental operation GLS. More Robe PixelPatts have been sourced, too.

More VariLite 6Ks have been bought - on top of the 100 plus that are out on Depeche Mode’s ‘Global Spirit’ tour - for which HSL is the worldwide lighting contractor. Also from Philips’ Showline range, over 50 x SL LEDspot 300s join HSL’s stock together with another 50 x SL Hydrus 350s.

From GLP, the numbers of Impression X4 Bar 10 and X4 Bar 20s have been boosted. GLS have led the way with buying more JDC1 strobes. HSL has also added substantial quantities of Solaris Flare Q+s to the stock in Blackburn, plus made another substantial investment in concert touring LED screen with all the necessary peripherals.

HSL’s new flightcase making company PackItRackItStackIt has had to up its ante to deal with the volume of new kit arriving and needing to be made road-ready, so a new CNC machine has been installed to meet the demands.
