I needed lighting for my school's choir concert and Olden Lighting was so helpful and informative and was able to direct me in what to order. Extra special shout out to Sam for all the patience and help he had shown me through out the order!

Walter Olden and his team have been providing great lighting options for decades. Their new space is bigger and now provides more retail options than ever. They also have an extensive rental inventory. Olden also provides installation and design services. They are my goto for all my referrals and design solutions. If you need the highest quality lighting, call them first.

Every piece of professional stage lighting equipment imaginable. More importantly, a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Located minutes from Downtown Austin, East of the Disch-Falk Baseball Field. We called first and the staff verified that they had in stock the obscure, ancient spotlight bulb we needed for an imminent Scottish Rite Children's Theatre production. Olden Knows Lights!
