Frequently Asked Questions
Glad you asked! A few places actually. Our parent company, 4Wall Entertainment, is an entertainment rental company with locations in the US and the UK. Items marked as 'UsedLighting.com Owned' are items that have been professionally maintained in one of 4Wall's locations. These items are constantly tested, cleaned, and updated to ensure the best performance for your events!
We also carry items from our global community of site members. We broker quality items from production houses, churches, theatres and more. These items are listed as 'Sold by: Site Member'. Purchasing a brokered item is a great way to save, and we guarantee your purchase with a 72 hour inspection window.
Yes! Feel free to add items from either site to your cart as you browse, you can purchase all your items in one single checkout process.
Shipping on items from Newlighting.com inventory is a once per order $10 charge as long as the items are shipped in the continental United States. This applies no matter how many new items you purchase!
Shipping for UsedLighting.com items is calculated one of two ways:
- Some items are available for immediate purchase, those items will calculate a shipping cost in your shopping cart
- Other items, such as large items and brokered items from our site members, are not available for immediate purchase. When you 'submit a quote' for these items, you will not be charged for them. A member of our team will contact you with a shipping estimate, and you can complete your purchase at that time.
We will make every effort to ensure your order ships in as few shipments as possible and at the best possible rates!
No, we do not ship to P.O. boxes or AFO/FPO/DPO addresses. All items must be shipped to a physical street address.

For wire transfers or company checks, orders will not be shipped until the funds are cleared. Please note that for international orders, we only accept PayPal and wire transfers as forms of payment.
In the US, we collect tax on orders shipping to Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Washington DC.
