Las Vegas Lighting and Grip Rental Guide: Building a Complete Interview, Commercial, or Event Package

A dependable lighting package starts with the look, location, crew and available power—not a list of fixtures. This guide covers the lighting, grip and electrical support commonly needed for interviews, commercials and events in Las Vegas.

Start with the production environment

Confirm whether the shoot is in a studio, hotel, convention hall, office or exterior location. Ceiling height, window direction, ambient color, available circuits, rigging rules and load-in distance will shape the package.

Interview lighting package

• Key light with an appropriate softbox or diffusion
• Fill or negative fill for contrast control
• Backlight, edge light or background fixtures
• C-stands, light stands, sandbags and safety cables
• Flags, nets, floppy cutters and diffusion
• Extension cable, distribution and spare power

Commercial lighting package

Commercial work often adds larger fixtures, overhead diffusion, frames, additional grip support, practical-light control and more precise color matching. Plan the lighting package with the camera and lens test whenever possible.

Event and convention lighting

For interviews on a show floor or event site, choose efficient LED fixtures, compact support and cable management that can work around guests and venue restrictions. Confirm union, power and rigging requirements with the venue.

Do not overlook grip and safety

• Use the correct stand, clamp and rigging hardware for every fixture
• Bag stands and secure overhead equipment
• Protect walkways with approved cable ramps or matting
• Confirm power draw before distributing loads
• Build in setup, strike and testing time
