Light & Music Rent

What Light & Music Rent does

Light & Music Rent GmbH is a privately held Swiss event technology services company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Aesch, Switzerland. The company rents professional lighting, audio, and multimedia equipment and provides the associated technical staff for live events of various types and scales across Switzerland. Its core product categories are Lighting (Moving Heads, Stroboscopes, LED Strips, Effects, Floodlights), Multimedia (video and image editing, LED walls, projector screens, projectors), and Audio (playback, mixing, recordings, microphones, filters), bundled with full event services covering planning, setup, on-site execution, and teardown.

The firm operates as a direct-service B2B provider without resellers or marketplace channels, engaging customers through phone and email consultation to produce custom quotes. It serves corporate clients (including Novartis, Coop, Bodum, SwissCasinos, and CreaBeton), festivals and music events (e.g., Stefan Roos Fest in Bad Ragaz and OK Bodmer Openair at 1,800m altitude), event venues (MZH Magden, with a 15+ year relationship), trade shows, and formal assemblies. Reported scale includes participation in over 300 events annually, supported by a small team of 1-10 employees.

The business model is essentially a one-time equipment rental plus professional services revenue stream, with no disclosed pricing or subscription component. The company is founder/owner-operated with no external investors or parent company, and operates exclusively within Switzerland with no documented international expansion. Marketing relies on its website, organic social media presence (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), and client testimonials as social proof.
