Lightbulb Rentals is an equipment rental house that caters to small-to-medium size shoots in New York and Pennsylvania by teaching, building, and encouraging a community of independent filmmakers from diverse backgrounds. We're big supporters of offering equitable opportunities to women, LGBT, and marginalized community members, and helping get passion projects off the ground.

Adam and David started Lightbulb in early 2016. They saw an overwhelming demand for hardware, paired with a lack of opportunities for young filmmakers to access clean, well-maintained equipment in NYC. Lightbulb started out in a mini-storage in Williamsburg, not far from our current NYC warehouse. We have kept our commitments to only send out equipment we're proud of.

Since then, we have built the company up to offer over 17,000 rental items that comprise 38,000 barcodes. Our system is completely paperless and eco-friendly, which is great for producers trying to keep track of a busy shoot schedule and a lot of paperwork.
