Bryson Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Is this lighting or props? Who knows... Anyway. I have a promenade/multi-space type performance coming up and I'm looking to hire some battery powered practical lantern-type thingys for the lighting of it. Any ideas where could hire them to me. I'm based in South London so close to me is good. I'm thinking some kind of battery-driven storm lantern-type fixture - hand-held - flicker not essential (It's not totally realistic as a piece) Any ideas?

peter Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 I seem to remember $tage Electrics stocking them, but that might be wrong/old information... worth a try tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 If you get really stuck, I could probably sort you out with some - but they're in North Wales, and I can't see the carriage costs being particularly attractive from a budgetary point of view ...

P. Funk Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 funyn you should ask that - a production near me have just been using those. Just get some old paraffin lanterns, and fit a light bulb and PP3 in the base, cover the sides with a bit of light diffusion gel and straw, and it looks realistic!
