Lighting Equipment Rental

Here is how this works in practice. We help lighting kit rentals from vetted local suppliers, securing competitive rates and managing delivery and return logistics. Our team works with your gaffer to build complete packages, fixtures, grip, distribution and consumables, covering LED systems, HMIs, tungsten Fresnels and specialty units such as balloon and Dino lights. Malta's rental inventory handles most shoots. But for large multi-fixture rigs or pro gear we supplement stock from Sicily. The Italian mainland, or from UK rental houses, with gear moving carnet-free within the EU and arriving by sea or air.

Here is the short of it. Mains power is 230V/50Hz on UK-style three-pin plugs, a legacy of British rule that simplifies tie-ins for UK crews, and we set up complete power options including power packs where mains is tight. Each fixture is prepped and tested before delivery, we can arrange full lighting crews of gaffers, best boys and electricians, and on-call support keeps replacement gear moving fast given the short distances between locations.

Here is the breakdown. Malta's locations demand a flexible lighting way. Historic palaces in Valletta and the Three Cities, built from honey-coloured globigerina limestone by the Knights of St John, frequently have tight mains and covered fabric, so packages must be designed for low-impact rigging set up with Heritage Malta. Remote exteriors at the Dingli Cliffs or across the Gozo Channel need power-pack support and gear that withstands wind, sea salt and limestone dust.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The islands enjoy roughly 300 days of sunshine and long shooting seasons. But the hard Mediterranean key often means lighting is about shaping and balancing rather than raw output. The cash rebates of up to 40% on eligible expenditure draws shoots of each scale. The Malta Film Commission acts as a one-stop liaison for permits and councils. English being an official language alongside Maltese keeps lighting plans and electrical forms clear for global crews.
