Lighting Suppliers
At some point, every lighting designer has to put themself in the hands of the people who actually make stuff. Here are a few companies who I'm happy to trust. I work with them and they are pro-active in the way that they work with me.
And if you can't afford a lighting designer, I'd trust them to work well with you.
