GEAR & REPAIRS MIDWEST BEYOND
Equipment You Can Trust. From People Who Use It.
Whether you’re building out your inventory, sourcing something specific, or repairing gear — we’ve got you.
WHAT WE DO
SUPPORT AT EVERY STEP OF THE GEAR CYCLE.
Whether you need a full production team, reliable equipment, or quality used gear — ILC is built to support your project at the right level.
NEW GEAR SOURCING
Finding the Right Gear Shouldn't Be the Hard Part.
Three decades of industry relationships help us identify the right equipment for your needs, at the right price.
We know the reps, we know the gear, and we know what it should cost. Tell us what you’re after, and we’ll track it down.
INDUSTRY RELATIONSHIPS
Thirty years in production lighting means deep industry relationships. We know who to call and how to get the right answer fast.
SPEC EXPERTISE
We help you buy the right gear by advising on compatibility, performance, and value — so you can make a confident decision.
End-to-end Support
From spec to delivery, we manage the procurement process on your behalf. Tell us what you need, and we’ll handle the rest.
USED EQUIPMENT SALES
Professional-Grade Equipment. Used. Real. Fair Price.
We pull from our own shelves, inspect everything ourselves, and tell you exactly what you’re getting.
No surprises. No inflated condition claims. We’ve used this gear on real shows, and we price it fairly.
MAINTAINED & INSPECTED
Every item in our used inventory has been assessed by our technical team. We don’t list gear we wouldn’t stand behind.
REFRESHED INVENTORY
Our used inventory turns regularly as we refresh our own gear. Check back often or reach out for more on specific equipment.
TRANSPARENT PRICING
Used gear pricing at ILC reflects real market value and an honest assessment. If something has a flaw, we’ll tell you and price it to reflect that.

Repair Services
Expert Repairs. No Guesswork. No Runaround.
We’ve seen pretty much every way a fixture can fail. Bring it in, we’ll figure out what’s wrong, tell you what it’ll cost, and fix it — or tell you straight if it’s not worth fixing.
The same technical depth we bring to productions is the same expertise we bring to repairs.
EXPERT DIAGNOSTICS
Our technicians have decades of hands-on experience with professional lighting equipment across manufacturers and fixture types. We know what we’re looking at — and we know how to fix it.
Transparent Process
Before any repair work begins, ILC provides a clear assessment of the issue, the recommended repair, and the expected cost. No surprise invoices. No work done without your approval.
HONEST RECOMMENDATIONS
If a fixture isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you. If there’s a better path — replacement, upgrade, or a used alternative from our own inventory — we’ll point you there instead.

Why Clients Come Back
Built on Long-Term Relationships. Not One-Time Transactions.
The people who buy gear from us tend to rent from us too. And rent from us, then hire us for productions. That’s not a coincidence — it’s the result of consistently honest service across every client relationship.
01 | RELIABILITY YOU CAN COUNT ON
Whether we’re sourcing a fixture, selling used gear, or repairing equipment, ILC operates to the same standard. Accurate information, fair pricing, and follow-through — every time.
02 | 30+ YEARS OF TRUSTED PARTNERSHIPS
ILC has been serving production professionals since 1994. The relationships we’ve built over three decades are the foundation of everything we do — and they show up in repeat business and referrals, not just first-time sales.
03 | A TEAM THAT KNOWS THE INDUSTRY
When you bring your gear to ILC, you’re not talking to a counter rep reading from a script. You’re talking to people who have used, maintained, and repaired this equipment on real productions.
