Time Capsule...
Get ready to step back in time and delve into Avolites’ incredible history of lighting control innovation. Watch this space for further updates.
50 years of creative lighting control
The year is 1976. In the UK, Mamma Mia is at the top of the charts, punk is exploding on to the music scene, and a man with an Avo meter and a big idea is about to change the lighting industry forever… Over the next 50 years, that big idea will become a global lighting phenomenon: the start of a brand that will go on to be found on stages, sets and installations across the globe. Our products have been on stage at some of the world’s biggest gigs (Queen, Glastonbury, The Rolling Stones, to name a few), on set lighting Hollywood movies and at cultural events that defined their generation (Live Aid, the London 2012 Olympics). From the Rollercue to Titan to the market’s smallest (and lightest) standalone and full featured console, Avolites innovation has defined our industry, and continues to do so. It’s a brand rich in history, but with an even brighter future, as we continue to innovate technology that enables our customers to bring their incredible visions to life. Here’s to fifty years of Avolites ingenuity, and many more to come.
