Lighthouse Productions

What Lighthouse Productions does

Lighthouse Productions is a privately held event production company founded in 1983 and headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The company rents professional audio, lighting, video, staging, rigging, and special effects equipment, and provides skilled technicians to operate that equipment at concerts, fairs, festivals, corporate events, athletic events, theaters, and churches nationwide. Its equipment inventory includes fixtures and consoles from premium manufacturers such as Martin, ETC, JBL, Crown, Shure, Grand MA, High End Systems, Clay Paky, Vari-Lite, and Chauvet, as well as Staging Concepts decks and an Elation LED video wall fleet, with per-item rental prices ranging from $1 for rigging accessories to $400 for video switchers.

Lighthouse operates as an ETC Factory Authorized Dealer and holds parallel authorized relationships with Martin, JBL, Crown, Shure, Middle Atlantic, and Lex Products, supported by multiple factory-trained technicians on staff. Beyond event rental, the company runs an installation and service division that designs, integrates, and maintains permanent theatrical and architectural lighting and audio systems for venues, providing a longer-cycle revenue stream that complements the per-event rental business. A fleet of mobile trailer stages supports quick nationwide deployment.

Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: the company captures leads through its website (rental, event, and general inquiry forms) and direct phone/email contact, with no third-party resellers or distributors in the channel. Customer mix is enterprise-oriented and diversified across verticals, with named accounts including the Green Bay Packers, EAA AirVenture, Schreiber Foods, Mini Cooper, Walworth County Fair, and Mile of Music. Revenue is generated primarily through per-event equipment rental transactions and professional services for technician staffing and permanent system installations.
