Nairobi Lighting Co
Nairobi Lighting Co — Sound, lighting & AV production
Nairobi Lighting Co has spent 9 years lighting celebrations across Nairobi and the wider region — from intimate ceremonies of thirty guests to festival main stages. Rigs are designed to the room's power and rigging points, and every show is programmed and tested before the doors open, and the result is a record of the day as it actually ran rather than a version assembled to a formula.
A site visit covers power, rigging, sightlines and the cues that matter, so nothing important is decided on the day itself. Every booking includes a plot, a fully redundant rig and an operator on site for the whole event. Questions are answered in writing, changes to the plan are normal and cost nothing before the event, and you always know who will actually be there on the day.
Nairobi Lighting Co is based in Nairobi and works in fr / en. Bookings start at 380 000 KES and a written quote follows within 4h, itemised so you can see what drives the figure. Most clients book six to nine months ahead; peak Saturdays go first, so earlier is safer. Nothing is owed until you accept the quote.

The planning call made the difference — by the time the day arrived everyone knew exactly what was happening.
Our families are demanding and both sides were delighted, which does not happen often. Handled the whole day with real warmth.
Arrived early, set up without any fuss and stayed until everything was packed down. Professional from start to finish.
Worth every franc. The quality was noticeably above what we saw from the other quotes we collected.
We changed the plan twice in the last month and it was never a problem. Calm, organised and completely reliable.
Answered every question quickly in the run-up, and on the day just quietly got on with it. The difference was obvious.
Booking was straightforward and the written quote matched the final invoice exactly. No surprises, which is all you want.
Blended everything so smoothly that nobody sat down all night. Several guests asked us for the contact before they left.
