Lighting Repairs, Service & Maintenance

Written by PORT | Feb 12, 2026 9:00:00 PM

At PORT Lighting, we’ve always believed that great lighting systems deserve long-term care. While our work in lighting sales, rentals, and system installations is well known, our repair and service capabilities are just as important and something we’ve supported customers with for many years.

From routine maintenance to complex fixture repairs, PORT Lighting provides professional, in-house service for a wide range of theatrical, architectural, and entertainment lighting equipment. Whether you’re maintaining existing systems or planning future upgrades, our team is here to help keep your lighting performing at its best.

Service You Can Trust

Lighting equipment is built to be durable, but constant use, heat, dust, movement, and electrical load all take their toll over time. Even the highest-quality fixtures and components eventually require attention.

PORT Lighting offers in-house repair services for equipment from many of the industry’s leading lighting manufacturers. Our technicians bring decades of combined experience, and both Steve Tkachuk and members of our team have completed service training with many of these manufacturers over the years. That experience allows us to diagnose issues accurately and repair equipment correctly not just temporarily.

We routinely service:

  • Theatrical and stage lighting fixtures
  • Architectural lighting equipment
  • Entertainment and event lighting systems
  • Associated components and accessories

And we’re happy to evaluate equipment regardless of where it was originally purchased.

What to Expect When You Bring Equipment In

We understand that downtime is disruptive. That’s why we follow a structured repair process designed to keep you informed every step of the way.

Here’s what to expect when you bring equipment to PORT Lighting:

  1. Initial Information & Intake
    We start by gathering as much information as possible about the issue before work begins. Knowing the symptoms helps us diagnose the problem more efficiently.
  2. Evaluation & Inspection
    Our technicians perform a detailed evaluation of the equipment to determine the root cause of the issue.
  3. Quote & Lead Time
    If replacement parts are required, we provide a clear quote along with an estimated timeline for parts to arrive.
  4. Repair, Installation & Testing
    Once parts are received, repairs are completed and the equipment is fully tested to ensure proper operation and reliability.
  5. Completion & Notification
    When repairs are complete, we contact you promptly so equipment can be returned to service as quickly as possible.

Our goal is always to provide high-quality work with honest communication and realistic expectations.

In addition to shop-based repairs, we also work closely with our Systems Department on-site when needed at larger venues such as:

This combination of shop and field experience allows us to understand how lighting systems operate in real-world environments and how to service them accordingly.

Maintenance Matters

Lighting systems represent a significant investment, and proper maintenance is one of the best ways to protect that investment over time. At PORT Lighting, we maintain our own inventory on bi-annual and quarterly schedules, and we encourage customers to take a proactive approach to maintenance whenever possible. Regular inspection and servicing can help identify potential issues early, reduce unexpected failures, and extend the usable life of equipment.

Over the years, we’ve seen lighting gear arrive in every condition imaginable including fixtures that have gone far too long without attention. In many cases, proper service could have prevented major failures or costly replacements.

Repairs and Equipment Sales

Many customers come to PORT Lighting for repairs and discover that it’s also the right time to evaluate their broader lighting needs. Because we provide both service and equipment sales, we can offer informed recommendations when repairs are no longer the most practical solution. Whether that means upgrading aging fixtures, replacing obsolete components, or expanding an existing system, our team can help guide decisions based on performance, budget, and long-term goals.

PORT Lighting supports customers with:

By combining repair expertise with product knowledge, we help customers make confident, informed decisions.
