How We're Different
When I started Learn Stage Lighting, I saw a problem called the āDealerās Curseā ā dealers pushing whatever brand pays them the most, whether or not itās right for the customer.
Above AVL was built to fix that. We carry dealer pricing across every major brand, so weāre never steering you toward one manufacturer over another ā just connecting you with the right gear for your needs and budget.

Customer Feedback
Working with David and the [Above AVL] team was one of the best, if not the best, experience I've ever had with a purveyor in my lighting career. The entire team was very attentive, they bent over backwards to work within my tight timeline, and they provided a very warm customer service experience before and after purchase.

As always the guys at [Above] AVL are absolutely OUTSTANDING when it comes to customer service. They always deliver, not just the physical product, but their expertise with every dumb question I manage to come up with. I taught customer service for 20+ years to major corporations, and the guys at [Above] AVL would have topped my list of OUTSTANDING suppliers.

6 weeks before our big event date I was given the role of managing our conference's stage appearance and live streaming visuals. [Above AVL] helped steer me toward a perfect beginners kit of high quality lights that helped me create an even stage wash with enough dynamic uplighting to transform the bland hotel conference ballroom into a dance party scene.
