Why buy used equipment from photon?

How the purchase works

  1. Send an enquiry – tell us which equipment you are looking for.
  2. Quote & condition – we check availability and tell you the condition and price.
  3. Purchase & handover – tested and handed over in working order, by shipping or collection.

Buying used event equipment – what to look out for

Buying used is particularly worthwhile for durable equipment such as trusses, cases, stands and robustly built fixtures. Look for documented maintenance, operating hours, complete original accessories and a function test. For devices with lamps or batteries, the condition of the wear parts is decisive. The big advantage over buying privately: from a specialist dealer you get tested goods and a fixed contact person.
