HS Hire Gets Ready for the Summer Festival Season With New Investment in Luminex and Doughty tech

South East-based lighting and rigging company HS Hire has long been a go-to name in the world of entertainment technology, supplying top-tier brands across every corner of the events and entertainment industry.

With a strong reputation for customer service and a keen eye on industry trends, having a strong line-up of dry hire products is essential, especially with the summer festival season fast approaching and an increase in large-scale corporate events on many of its client’s books too.

As long-standing clients of AC-ET, HS Hire regularly turns to us for trusted technical advice when it comes to making key investment decisions in new equipment.

For their latest round of updates, they looked to two industry stalwarts that remain top of the spec list among Lighting Designers: Luminex and Doughty. Here's a look at their latest additions.

Luminex: rock-solid performance, streamlined setup

Luminex was selected for its renowned reliability and, working alongside the Araneo real time monitoring software, is able to provide an efficient, user-friendly setup and deployment experience on-site, making it ideal for high-pressure festival environments.
