Company details

  1. Audio Visual Equipment Hire Service

Written by the company

UK lighting and sound hire Affordable prices: High end equipment such as Astera lighting has been groundbreaking for lower budget creative projects. The versatility & ease of use of the lights helps to make productions appear more professional. If you watch any recent Netflix production, it’s not difficult to spot an Astera Titan tube. Just download the Astera app and you are good to go. No technical knowhow or knowledge of dmx required. Renting made easy: Our prices at Oolumi enable projects, big or small, to come to life. The longer you rent, the bigger the discount. We encourage ambitious work and facilitate hires for weeks to months that would typically cost the same as a couple day hire from a traditional rental house. New approach to renting: Renting from traditional rental houses can be a daunting experience. Patronising staff, huge deposits and zero flexibility add unnecessary extra stress to your work. At Oolumi, renting from us does not require a deposit, we are flexible with pick and drop off times and we will help you understand how best to use the equipment for your event.

Wedding equipment

Borrowed some equipment for a wedding I was DJing at very last minute. Joe was very responsive and helped me sort out exactly what I needed immediately. The equipment was in great condition and Joe was very flexible with pick up and drop off! Would definitely hire from him again. Thanks

Excellent service, highly professional

The company was able to provide me with lighting last minute, on the day of the shoot!

I was able to collect the lighting and return it at a time that was mutually convenient and the company was able to advise me on the best ways to use the kit, He also provided me with some extra pieces of equipment that were particularly useful for the music video shoot that I used the lights for.

I would highly recommend using their service.

Saved the day

We were in dire need as we had a shoot starting at 7 am the next day, and our lighting fixtures had failed. Not only did Oolumi come through late at night, but they were also super flexible with pick-ups and drop-offs, which helped dramatically. We will be renting from them again.

These lights are the best

The lights we hired were the Astera Titan Tubes. They are fantastic lights for a party and are super easy to use. There are so many different colours and settings, we hardly even scratched the surface!
Communication was great and the lights are at an affordable price. Well worth it!

Big thanks to Oolumi for the amazing Astera light battens. We hired them for a venue transformation and they were a hit with our client. Great products, great communication and the best price I can find on the market. I will be hiring again.

One summer dream became reality when we used their services. As ambitious ravers and all out dance floor feens, we wished for a terrace party at one of out close friends flats. With excitement high we rushing into formation, ordering amazons fines decorations and waitroses fines beverages they have to offer, but there was something we were still missing. A PA system and a club standard dj set up. Like a knight in shining armour oolumi came to the rescue offering a drop off and collection service. The product we received was exactly what it said on the tin, no tripe!

10/10 lights and service

Awesome company! I’ve been hiring Astera lighting from Oolumi for a charity event I have been running in London for over a year and I cannot recommend them more highly.

The lights not only look incredible and slick they are extremely adaptable, programmable and come with an easy to use app. I’ve also used the lights for photoshoots and they look insane!

Joe (who runs the company) is lovely, extremely efficient, great at communicating and awesome at providing tips and tricks for the lights.
