About lighting hire
Lighting changes a room or a shoot for one evening and then goes back in its box. Lighting hire lets you borrow it from people who use it professionally or once a year: festoon strings for a garden party, uplighters for a marquee, studio heads for a day of portraits. You book the days you need, and it goes back when the event is over.
Lighting changes a room or a shoot for one evening and then goes back in its box. Lighting hire lets you borrow it from people who use it professionally or once a year: festoon strings for a garden party, uplighters for a marquee, studio heads for a day of portraits. You book the days you need, and it goes back when the event is over.
Weddings, events, photography, theatre and Christmas all create short bursts of demand, which is exactly what hiring is for. Stands and cables take up room and get used rarely, so borrowing a full kit is often easier than putting one together. If you own lighting that works for a few weekends a year, 75% of each rental goes to you when you lend it out.
Nobody can book until they have passed an identity check, and the Rentoodle Lender Guarantee covers every booking up to £30,000. Borrowers pay no platform fee, only what the owner is asking and the one-time £2 identity check. Smaller kit comes by tracked delivery, and stands and heavy fixtures are easier to collect. Two days is the default minimum hire.

Lighting hire FAQs
How does lighting hire work on Rentoodle?
Choose the lights and the dates, then book. New hirers verify their identity once for £2 and pay nothing on top of the owner's price. The owner sends the equipment by tracked delivery or arranges a local collection, which is easier for stands.
Are stands, cables and bulbs included?
Read the listing, because owners itemise what is in the box themselves. Some hire out a complete kit with stands, cables and spare bulbs, others list the head alone. Message the owner before booking and agree what you need to supply yourself.
What if a bulb blows or a fixture is damaged?
Tell the owner as soon as it happens. Hirers are liable for repair or replacement while equipment is with them, including consumables such as bulbs unless the listing says otherwise. Every booking is covered by the Lender Guarantee up to £30,000.
