Is your used equipment in working order?

All of our equipment is tested and certified as working prior to going on sale.

Is your used equipment safe?

All of our used equipment is tested for electrical safety, we do ask however that it is tested again on arrival as connections can come loose in transit.

What else happens to the equipment before it is sold?

Once certified as working and having no parts missing, our equipment is thoroughly cleaned with paint work being repaired if required, PAT tested and then film wrapped. We take pride in the presentation of our used kit. Moving lights are fully serviced prior to sale.

Do you include lamps with lanterns?

If a unit arrives with a lamp installed and the lamp is working it is left in place. As we don't know how old the lamp will be, it is not guaranteed and is not reflected in the sale price. If a unit has no lamp on arrival we do not include a new one. Used lamps are not guaranteed if they fail on arrival.

Do your lanterns include a plug?

Yes, most are fitted with a 15 Amp plug, some have 16 Amp - each item listing identifies the plug type. If you have a preference just let us know.
