History

Apollo Lighting Service (Apollo) has been primarily involved in supplying event power and area / stage lighting for about 40 years and is widely regarded as the premier supplier to the industry. After leaving the prestigious theatre production company JC Williamson Ltd as Head Lighting Designer and Chief Electrician, AW (Bill) Everett worked with various partners until starting Apollo Lighting Service in 1977. Based in Hindmarsh South Australia, Apollo has been involved with most of the large outdoor events in South Australia. These include Womad and Tour Down Under (both since their inceptions), The Australian International 3 Day Event (Horse Trials), Schutzenfest, Clipsal 500 (Stage area), Carols by Candlelight, Adelaide Festival, Adelaide Fringe and Adelaide City Council’s New Years Eve, and Australia Day celebrations.
