FAQ

In 1989 while working as a Theatre Electrician, Julian Baycock, now our Technical Director formed Robolights to design, develop and manufacture remote controlled stage lighting fixtures and colour scrollers. New ideas developed into several products over the years and now we manufacture wide range of our own designs and produce bespoke items for our clients around the world.

As a company our roots are firmly within the theatre and live events industry with most of our staff having worked on many shows in various venues over the years, so we fully understand the needs of the people we work with. We enjoy working closely with our customers, sharing our extensive knowledge to come up with the right solution for them. We always strive to deliver excellent service to our customers & suppliers both large and small.

We have a wide range of products available from stock and they are all designed and chosen carefully to give a high quality and cost effective solution to your needs. We aim to keep all of the items you see on our Website in stock but for some larger orders we may occasionally need to source additional stock from our manufacturers. If this is the case we will advise the lead-time when you place your order.

A large part of our business is the design and manufacture of bespoke and customised products. We work closely with end users, Consultants, System Integrators and designers to produce the products they need and can take your ideas from concept to reality. Contact us by email at sales@robolights.co.uk, phone +44 (0) 1392 823040, or via our enquiry form and we will be pleased to help.

If timed or weekend delivery is required we will advise you of the most cost effective shipping method at the time of ordering which will depend on how quickly the goods need to be delivered, and the weight and dimensions of the consignment.

For all overseas customers we will advise you of the most cost effective shipping method at the time of ordering which will depend on how quickly the goods need to be delivered, and the weight and dimensions of the consignment.
