May 2022 Custom Work

 

Although City Theatrical manufactures a large catalog of unique lighting accessories, we also like to do custom work, and can do it incredibly quickly. If you need a custom design or fabrication of metal lighting products, electronic design, LED power supplies, custom wireless DMX installations, or nearly any other challenge that you can come up with, call us and we will help you through it.  We’ve done custom work for major TV networks, theme parks, museums, architectural projects, and just about any other type if lighting project you can imagine.

City Theatrical engineers used their expertise to custom design and manufacture these yokes to provide an improved solution for the Astera fixture.
