Yellow Lamp Productions · Event lighting in Cape Town Making a difference one light at a time

Lighting design, our own fixtures and experienced operators on the desk, for concerts, festivals, brand events and private celebrations across the Western Cape. Sound, AV, staging and special effects when you need one team for the whole show.

What we bring to the show

We started on the lighting desk and grew from there. Clients kept asking for one supplier for everything, so today we cover the full technical brief, and partner with trusted suppliers when a show needs extra kit.

  1. Lighting

    Lighting design, programming and show operation, backed by our own inventory from moving heads to inline dimmers, including Robe LEDBeam 150s.

  2. Sound

    Audio for your event, specced and run alongside the lighting so the whole show is on one plan.

  3. AV

    Screens, projection and playback to put your content, sponsors and live feeds in front of the room.

  4. Staging

    Stages and structures to give the performance, and the rig, somewhere to live.

  5. Special FX

    Effects that make the big moments land.
