We believe lighting and AV are the heart & soul of any successful event!
We are a lighting and video design company based in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand.
Born from Morgan’s passion over a decade ago, we’ve evolved into a small, dedicated team specialising in lighting and AV solutions for events throughout the country. From festivals to launch events, we collaborate closely with our clients, delivering customized solutions tailored to their unique event needs.
What we do
Our job is to cover everything that lights up. This covers everything from the design, to supplying the gear, systems and rigging, to installation and running the equipment live.

Morgan Whitfield
MANAGING DIRECTOR
Since acquiring his first light in high school, Morgan’s journey into the world of events took off. His blend of event enthusiasm and electronics expertise gave birth to what we now call Illumination and Optics. With hands-on experience as a lighting technician and production manager in New Zealand and overseas, Morgan brings a practical wealth of knowledge to any event or production.
Outside the office, Morgan is a keen traveler and explorer. He enjoys soaking in different cultures, taking on the challenge of navigating places where English isn’t the norm.
Out of the office Morgan is an avid traveller and explorer. He loves to experience different cultures and isn’t afraid of the added challenge of navigating places where they don’t speak English.
Daniel Wilson (Dan)
Senior technician
Dan’s passion for the technical side of production, particularly in theatre, has been a constant driving force. A Toi Whakaari graduate since 2013, he has immersed himself in the industry ever since. Notably, Dan served as the head of lighting for the Royal New Zealand Ballet and contributed to significant lighting installations overseas.
Off duty, you’ll likely find Dan indulging in plane spotting near the airport or at home, navigating the skies on his flight simulator.
Cameron Whitfield (Cam)
TECHNICIAN and FABRICATOR
Cam entered the realm of event lighting and AV thanks to his brother, Morgan. His expertise leans towards the logistical aspects of installing and moving gear. Cam excels in devising creative and sturdy solutions for equipment installation – no challenge is too daunting for him.
Away from the workshop and gigs, you’ll discover Cam on the ocean, whether he’s captaining the Wellington Harbour Ferry or harnessing the wind for kite surfing adventures at the local beaches.
