Lighting Hospital Acquires Bristol Premises

UK and European independent lighting electronic service department, The Lighting Hospital has recently moved to new premises in Bristol.
This has enabled the company to further streamline its processes.
Launched in 2009 by industry engineer Dik Welland, the operation has been built on "fast turnarounds, friendly and efficient service, attention to detail and the quality of the repairs."
"We pride ourselves on the excellent recovery rate," says Dik.
The Lighting Hospital space now comprises over 2500 square feet.
Dik and his team of engineers and technicians have honed their skills to deal with the specific nature of certain standard repairs that are encountered day-to-day, and also extended the scope of their work as the business has become more established.
From the start, Dik geared The Lighting Hospital to work in line with touring and live show schedules.
A vast body of 'repair strategies' has evolved and increased the range of items that can be dealt with to The Lighting Hospital’s exacting standards. "New challenges appear as items hit their end of warranty periods," explains Dik, "allowing us to add them to our ever-expanding portfolio."
The new improved facilities plus a complete range of test rigs enables The Lighting Hospital to handle all types of moving light control boards and all Vari*Lite, Sheiderwerk and High End ballasts using their extensive range of dummy loads, igniters and lamps.
A new dedicated fixture repair department has been set up to deal with the repair of complete units from most major manufacturers, and The Lighting Hospital also supplies spare parts.
The Lighting Hospital is now also the official High End warranty repair centre, the UK Flying Pig repair centre, the Element Labs legacy repair centre for the EMEA region and it also stocks and supplies comprehensive spares for Element Labs, Vari*Lite, High End Systems and Flying Pig.
Ironically the Lighting Hospital’s own growth has been partly fuelled by the economic climate continuing to be challenging, with rental companies being keen to keep stock they already own working and earning … rather than investing in new kit.
