Andrew Pygott, the company's managing director and himself a respected lighting and systems designer, commented on some of the additions.
"Clay Paky Sharpys were selected as an addition to our rental stock because of their unrivalled performance over size and weight and although copies of this product have been attempted, the true original Clay Paky version is still the most outstanding small beamlight . We have had a lot of demand for the Sharpy from customers and it has been a unit I myself have specified in a number of designs, so it's a delight to now have these units available in our rental stock and available to our clients for the 2013 season.
"When looking to replace our low smoke effects, the Martin Professional Jem Glaciator X-stream was the perfect choice. With previous machines we had struggled with the getting the low lying to actually stay low, but with the Jem Glaciator X-Stream that issue is now a thing of the past, the machine performs wonderfully and is much more easier to set up than our previous machines.
"Due to the popularity of our racked Sennheiser Radio Mic Systems we have increased our stock of these along with adding DPA 4066 Headset Mics for use with them. All our racked systems consist of Sennheiser EW300 G3 Receivers that come prewired with antenna distribution and network switches ready for use."
Innovation Productions also added high definition video projectors to their rental stock this year, choosing Christie Digital LHD700 Projectors and a selection of lenses.
"Innovation Productions prides itself on providing the high quality industry standard brands that hire and event customers disserve," adds Pygott. "Having one of the North's largest rental stocks means we are also able provide the backbone, via sub - hire, to a number of companies and give them access to equipment that otherwise would be difficult to source or too expensive to justify purchasing themselves."
