The correct lighting is vital to Blond Productions who recently bought 24 x Robin lights from DWR Distributors, financed by Fintech. These Robe LED wash lights are quality, versatile lights that can be used for a diverse array of productions. Blond Productions specialise in reality TV and game shows supplying sound, lighting, audio visual AV screens, design, and staging, branching out with corporate shows, or a rig for a live event.
Blond Productions have supplied the gear for Noot vir Noot, Big Brother Africa, and Clash of the Choirs. They do not “dry hire’, but provide turnkey solutions setting up the equipment for a production, operating it, and taking it down again, some of the rentals are longer term. Blond Production’s main focus is to supply a complete technical solution.
“The reason I went with finance, as compared to buying cash, is that I can buy in bigger quantity without depleting my cash-flow. Fintech also came in at a great rate, and have very reasonable terms,’ says Christiaan Ballot, MD of Blond Productions.
Ballot says that in his industry it is difficult to secure finance from a traditional financial institution, because lighting equipment is considered as a risk rather than an asset. This creates a big challenge, with equipment needing to be upgraded at least once every two years, as technology evolves very quickly.
