Our hosts share personal experiences, emphasizing the role of reliability, innovative solutions, and exceptional service from Mainlight.
1
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,200
This week on Future Tech, we're
going to talk about a great live
2
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,440
events dry hire rental company
with some recent updates.
3
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,840
So Main Light's been around for
what, 42 years now?
4
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,320
Pretty much a cornerstone in the
live events industry when it
5
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,240
comes to dry, higher rental
services.
6
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,640
Their reach is massive.
Wilmington, Teterboro,
7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,240
Nashville, Las Vegas, they've
got these huge facilities to
8
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,400
back it up.
That's a long run for any
9
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,240
company, especially in such a
demanding industry, right?
10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,720
And I mean, the fact that
they've got facilities in those
11
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,080
key cities, that's kind of a big
deal.
12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,080
Absolutely.
It's not just about having a
13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,640
footprint, but maintaining
quality across those locations.
14
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,080
Like they've got 60,000 square
feet in Wilmington, 70,000 in
15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,600
Nashville, and even 40,000 in
Vegas.
16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,720
That's space not just for
storing equipment, but for
17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,720
testing and prepping it to high
standards.
18
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,280
Reliability is everything,
especially when your clients are
19
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,680
production companies juggling
major live events.
20
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:19,760
And you can tell they've got
that whole reliability thing
21
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,720
down.
I remember this one show in
22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,160
Nashville, Huge deal, lots of
moving parts and the main light
23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,320
gear.
We used it, it just worked.
24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,760
I mean no issues at all.
And honestly their stuff
25
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,760
elevated the entire production.
The visuals were insane.
26
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,040
That doesn't surprise me.
They've built their reputation
27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,480
on delivering high quality
lighting and effects.
28
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,000
And it's not just the gear, it's
the customer service.
29
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,680
There are teams known for being
on top of things, making sure
30
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,000
every rental package meets the
client's needs.
31
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,000
It's funny though, customer
service doesn't always get
32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,240
highlighted in this industry.
But but when something goes
33
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,280
wrong, that's when you realize
how important it is.
34
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,800
Main Light seems like one of
those companies that gets that.
35
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,520
Yeah, they're one of the few
with a reputation that's lasted
36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,240
decades and that speaks volumes.
You know, we were just talking
37
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,040
about Main Light's reputation
for reliability and attention to
38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,880
their clients needs and it feels
like their inventory expansion
39
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,720
really reflects that.
Recently, to improve their
40
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,760
rigging department, Main Light
have added a large number of
41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,520
chain master D8 hoists to their
line up.
42
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,480
That's impressive.
These are the top of the rigging
43
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,120
hoist food chain, one ton, 1/2
ton, even 1/4 ton hoist with 80
44
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,560
feet of lift capacity.
It's a serious asset for any
45
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,240
major production or rental
company.
46
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,920
Wait, 80 feet?
That's like lifting an entire
47
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:47,720
theatre set up, right?
I mean, what's the practical use
48
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,040
for something like that in your
world?
49
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,280
Oh, tons of applications.
Think big arena tours or outdoor
50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,480
festivals.
You've got lighting trusses,
51
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,880
speaker arrays, or even video
screens to get into precise
52
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,920
positions.
Chain master hoists are known
53
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:05,760
for their durability and
precision, which you know stops
54
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,320
your event from turning into a
disaster if something slips.
55
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,480
Yeah, that sounds critical.
And I'm guessing they don't just
56
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,720
stop at the.
Hoist exactly.
57
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,040
Main lights gone all in.
By pairing these hoists with
58
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Motion Labs 8 channel portable
motor controllers.
59
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,240
These give you super precise
control over the hoists.
60
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,920
You can synchronize lifts,
adjust speeds, the whole deal.
61
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,200
And get this.
Motion Labs also ships them with
62
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,720
handheld remotes that, let me
tell you, are possibly the most
63
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,600
rugged pieces of gear I've ever
seen.
64
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,840
Polyamide and polyester
enclosures Practically
65
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,840
indestructible.
So it's like handheld control on
66
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,160
steroids?
Sounds perfect for something
67
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,840
where timing and weight
distribution are key.
68
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,320
Exactly.
It's all about safety and
69
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560
efficiency.
I mean, you're moving rigs that
70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,360
weigh literally thousands of
pounds.
71
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,040
Having gear you can trust makes
a huge difference.
72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,480
Makes sense, but what stands out
here?
73
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,520
Like what makes this equipment
special compared to the regular
74
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,520
stuff people might be used to?
Well, these hoists are designed
75
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,400
to integrate seamlessly into
existing production setups.
76
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,720
They have advanced motor
protection, which means fewer
77
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,560
breakdowns even under heavy use,
and motion lapse controllers tie
78
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,800
it all together beautifully.
It's a system that's reliable
79
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,519
from top to bottom, ideal for,
let's say, back-to-back tours
80
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,000
where downtime isn't an option.
That reliability, it's got to be
81
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,760
a massive selling point.
I can see where this would come
82
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,760
in handy for events with tight
schedules.
83
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,360
No doubt I've seen setups where
these kinds of hoists literally
84
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,440
save the day.
Imagine a high pressure load in
85
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,960
where timing is everything.
The last thing you need is
86
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,840
finicky gear slowing you down.
These hoists, they just work.
87
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaking of reliability, let's
talk about the main light
88
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,600
facilities.
Wilmington and Nashville are
89
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,000
perfect examples.
These are enormous high tech
90
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,880
spaces with 60,000 square feet
in Wilmington and 70,000 Danoir
91
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:02,320
in Nashville.
They're not just storage
92
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,360
warehouses, they're cutting edge
labs where they test and
93
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,520
maintain industry leading gear
to make sure everything's in top
94
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,920
condition before it heads out to
an event.
95
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,000
Yeah.
And that's something you don't
96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,480
usually think about, right?
But those final checks, they
97
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,160
must be a show saver, especially
for big events with no room for
98
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,640
error.
Exactly.
99
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,800
Every single item is prepped to
meet industry standards.
100
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,800
Lighting fixtures, trusses,
controllers, the works.
101
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:32,640
They test, they inspect, they
double check, and then they
102
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,280
ship.
That's why their gear has such a
103
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:38,760
solid reputation.
When it arrives on site, you
104
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,800
know it'll perform no surprises.
And it's not just the tech,
105
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,640
right, their whole team.
What strikes me is they're super
106
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,640
invested in making their clients
succeed.
107
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:51,720
Like they're not just handing
you a box of equipment and
108
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,720
wishing you luck.
They actually seem to care.
109
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,160
Totally.
The human element's a big deal
110
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,520
in this industry.
They're technicians, account
111
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,800
managers, they're experts at
what they do and they've got
112
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,120
your back.
What I've always respected about
113
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,840
Main Light is that they combine
cutting edge technology with old
114
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:11,200
school customer service.
It's rare.
115
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,840
Yeah, and you feel that when you
work with them.
116
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,600
I've been on shows where
everything could go wrong.
117
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,440
It's high stress, high stakes,
knowing you've got main light
118
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,800
equipment and their team in your
corner.
119
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,400
It's like this huge weight off
your shoulders.
120
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,080
Couldn't agree more.
And here's the thing, rental
121
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,160
equipment is the backbone of so
many events.
122
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,640
If the gear is unreliable,
you're sunk.
123
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,240
That's why partners like Main
Light are crucial.
124
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,720
Right.
And I think that's what sets
125
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,880
them apart.
They're invested in the
126
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,480
technology, yeah, but also in
people, whether it's their crew
127
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,160
or the end user.
That's rare these days.
128
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,080
Absolutely.
It's funny reflecting on it now.
129
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,320
It's not just the lights or the
hoists or controllers, it's this
130
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,000
whole package they've built
through decades of experience.
131
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,360
You get reliability, innovation
and real human support.
132
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,000
That's a killer combo.
No kidding.
133
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,360
Honestly, Chris chatting through
this stuff makes me appreciate
134
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,160
the behind the scenes even more.
The tech, the people, the prep,
135
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,400
there's so much that goes into
making live events happen.
136
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,880
Yeah, it's fascinating how
something as simple as a well
137
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,440
tuned piece of equipment or
great customer service can make
138
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,320
or break an event.
Kudos to Main Light for nailing
139
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,120
that balance.
Absolutely.
140
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,920
And on that note, I'm I think
we've covered it all for today.
141
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,360
Thanks for hanging out on
Geezers of Gear Future Tech
142
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,040
Chris.
Thanks Laci, always great
143
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,240
chatting and thanks to all of
you for listening.
144
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,800
Until next time, stay creative,
stay inspired.
145
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:51,480
Future tech is here.
Come on, you make the specs so
146
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,200
clear.
Oh La La with music to your
147
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,560
ears.
Hey, hey, hey, let's go.
148
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:06,280
New gear vibes, new tech jive
gear hits unite.
149
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,960
We keep it live.
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,200
This week on Future Tech, we're
going to talk about a great live
2
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,440
events dry hire rental company
with some recent updates.
3
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,840
So Main Light's been around for
what, 42 years now?
4
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,320
Pretty much a cornerstone in the
live events industry when it
5
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,240
comes to dry, higher rental
services.
6
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,640
Their reach is massive.
Wilmington, Teterboro,
7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,240
Nashville, Las Vegas, they've
got these huge facilities to
8
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,400
back it up.
That's a long run for any
9
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,240
company, especially in such a
demanding industry, right?
10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,720
And I mean, the fact that
they've got facilities in those
11
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,080
key cities, that's kind of a big
deal.
12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,080
Absolutely.
It's not just about having a
13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,640
footprint, but maintaining
quality across those locations.
14
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,080
Like they've got 60,000 square
feet in Wilmington, 70,000 in
15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,600
Nashville, and even 40,000 in
Vegas.
16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,720
That's space not just for
storing equipment, but for
17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,720
testing and prepping it to high
standards.
18
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,280
Reliability is everything,
especially when your clients are
19
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,680
production companies juggling
major live events.
20
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:19,760
And you can tell they've got
that whole reliability thing
21
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,720
down.
I remember this one show in
22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,160
Nashville, Huge deal, lots of
moving parts and the main light
23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,320
gear.
We used it, it just worked.
24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,760
I mean no issues at all.
And honestly their stuff
25
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,760
elevated the entire production.
The visuals were insane.
26
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,040
That doesn't surprise me.
They've built their reputation
27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,480
on delivering high quality
lighting and effects.
28
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,000
And it's not just the gear, it's
the customer service.
29
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,680
There are teams known for being
on top of things, making sure
30
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,000
every rental package meets the
client's needs.
31
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,000
It's funny though, customer
service doesn't always get
32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,240
highlighted in this industry.
But but when something goes
33
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,280
wrong, that's when you realize
how important it is.
34
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,800
Main Light seems like one of
those companies that gets that.
35
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,520
Yeah, they're one of the few
with a reputation that's lasted
36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,240
decades and that speaks volumes.
You know, we were just talking
37
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,040
about Main Light's reputation
for reliability and attention to
38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,880
their clients needs and it feels
like their inventory expansion
39
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,720
really reflects that.
Recently, to improve their
40
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,760
rigging department, Main Light
have added a large number of
41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,520
chain master D8 hoists to their
line up.
42
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,480
That's impressive.
These are the top of the rigging
43
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,120
hoist food chain, one ton, 1/2
ton, even 1/4 ton hoist with 80
44
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,560
feet of lift capacity.
It's a serious asset for any
45
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,240
major production or rental
company.
46
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,920
Wait, 80 feet?
That's like lifting an entire
47
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:47,720
theatre set up, right?
I mean, what's the practical use
48
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,040
for something like that in your
world?
49
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,280
Oh, tons of applications.
Think big arena tours or outdoor
50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,480
festivals.
You've got lighting trusses,
51
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,880
speaker arrays, or even video
screens to get into precise
52
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,920
positions.
Chain master hoists are known
53
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:05,760
for their durability and
precision, which you know stops
54
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,320
your event from turning into a
disaster if something slips.
55
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,480
Yeah, that sounds critical.
And I'm guessing they don't just
56
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,720
stop at the.
Hoist exactly.
57
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,040
Main lights gone all in.
By pairing these hoists with
58
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Motion Labs 8 channel portable
motor controllers.
59
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,240
These give you super precise
control over the hoists.
60
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,920
You can synchronize lifts,
adjust speeds, the whole deal.
61
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,200
And get this.
Motion Labs also ships them with
62
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,720
handheld remotes that, let me
tell you, are possibly the most
63
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,600
rugged pieces of gear I've ever
seen.
64
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,840
Polyamide and polyester
enclosures Practically
65
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,840
indestructible.
So it's like handheld control on
66
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,160
steroids?
Sounds perfect for something
67
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,840
where timing and weight
distribution are key.
68
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,320
Exactly.
It's all about safety and
69
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560
efficiency.
I mean, you're moving rigs that
70
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,360
weigh literally thousands of
pounds.
71
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,040
Having gear you can trust makes
a huge difference.
72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,480
Makes sense, but what stands out
here?
73
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,520
Like what makes this equipment
special compared to the regular
74
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,520
stuff people might be used to?
Well, these hoists are designed
75
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,400
to integrate seamlessly into
existing production setups.
76
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,720
They have advanced motor
protection, which means fewer
77
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,560
breakdowns even under heavy use,
and motion lapse controllers tie
78
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,800
it all together beautifully.
It's a system that's reliable
79
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,519
from top to bottom, ideal for,
let's say, back-to-back tours
80
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,000
where downtime isn't an option.
That reliability, it's got to be
81
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,760
a massive selling point.
I can see where this would come
82
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,760
in handy for events with tight
schedules.
83
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,360
No doubt I've seen setups where
these kinds of hoists literally
84
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,440
save the day.
Imagine a high pressure load in
85
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,960
where timing is everything.
The last thing you need is
86
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,840
finicky gear slowing you down.
These hoists, they just work.
87
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaking of reliability, let's
talk about the main light
88
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,600
facilities.
Wilmington and Nashville are
89
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,000
perfect examples.
These are enormous high tech
90
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,880
spaces with 60,000 square feet
in Wilmington and 70,000 Danoir
91
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:02,320
in Nashville.
They're not just storage
92
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,360
warehouses, they're cutting edge
labs where they test and
93
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,520
maintain industry leading gear
to make sure everything's in top
94
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,920
condition before it heads out to
an event.
95
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,000
Yeah.
And that's something you don't
96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,480
usually think about, right?
But those final checks, they
97
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,160
must be a show saver, especially
for big events with no room for
98
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,640
error.
Exactly.
99
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,800
Every single item is prepped to
meet industry standards.
100
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,800
Lighting fixtures, trusses,
controllers, the works.
101
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:32,640
They test, they inspect, they
double check, and then they
102
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,280
ship.
That's why their gear has such a
103
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:38,760
solid reputation.
When it arrives on site, you
104
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,800
know it'll perform no surprises.
And it's not just the tech,
105
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,640
right, their whole team.
What strikes me is they're super
106
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,640
invested in making their clients
succeed.
107
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:51,720
Like they're not just handing
you a box of equipment and
108
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,720
wishing you luck.
They actually seem to care.
109
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,160
Totally.
The human element's a big deal
110
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,520
in this industry.
They're technicians, account
111
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,800
managers, they're experts at
what they do and they've got
112
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,120
your back.
What I've always respected about
113
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,840
Main Light is that they combine
cutting edge technology with old
114
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:11,200
school customer service.
It's rare.
115
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,840
Yeah, and you feel that when you
work with them.
116
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,600
I've been on shows where
everything could go wrong.
117
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,440
It's high stress, high stakes,
knowing you've got main light
118
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,800
equipment and their team in your
corner.
119
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,400
It's like this huge weight off
your shoulders.
120
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,080
Couldn't agree more.
And here's the thing, rental
121
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,160
equipment is the backbone of so
many events.
122
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,640
If the gear is unreliable,
you're sunk.
123
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,240
That's why partners like Main
Light are crucial.
124
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,720
Right.
And I think that's what sets
125
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,880
them apart.
They're invested in the
126
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,480
technology, yeah, but also in
people, whether it's their crew
127
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,160
or the end user.
That's rare these days.
128
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,080
Absolutely.
It's funny reflecting on it now.
129
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,320
It's not just the lights or the
hoists or controllers, it's this
130
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,000
whole package they've built
through decades of experience.
131
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,360
You get reliability, innovation
and real human support.
132
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,000
That's a killer combo.
No kidding.
133
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,360
Honestly, Chris chatting through
this stuff makes me appreciate
134
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,160
the behind the scenes even more.
The tech, the people, the prep,
135
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,400
there's so much that goes into
making live events happen.
136
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,880
Yeah, it's fascinating how
something as simple as a well
137
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,440
tuned piece of equipment or
great customer service can make
138
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,320
or break an event.
Kudos to Main Light for nailing
139
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,120
that balance.
Absolutely.
140
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,920
And on that note, I'm I think
we've covered it all for today.
141
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,360
Thanks for hanging out on
Geezers of Gear Future Tech
142
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,040
Chris.
Thanks Laci, always great
143
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,240
chatting and thanks to all of
you for listening.
144
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,800
Until next time, stay creative,
stay inspired.
145
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:51,480
Future tech is here.
Come on, you make the specs so
146
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,200
clear.
Oh La La with music to your
147
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,560
ears.
Hey, hey, hey, let's go.
148
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:06,280
New gear vibes, new tech jive
gear hits unite.
149
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,960
We keep it live.
