IN THE BEGINNING...

blackout productions was nothing but an idea. a concept. Owner, alex hernandez was just a regular guy in high school that just so happened to own a strobe light and a rotating red beacon light and he would use it at friends' birthday parties here and there. . . Well, the idea was implanted by multiple friends to start supplying edgy lighting for house parties around town and within months, lasers, fog MACHINES and flashy moonflowers made there way in. Months after, in 2009, blackout lighting effects was born. Yes, LIGHTING EFFECTS! THATS HOW IT ALL STARTED, JUST FLASHY LIGHT RENTALS BY THE HOUR FOR AVERAGE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS AND THIER HOUSE PARTIES. AS TIME PASSED BY, THE DEMAND FOR COOL LIGHTS WASN'T ENOUGH. SOUND EQUIPMENT WAS ADDED AND MORE ADVANCED LIGHTING SCHEMES TO MATCH THE DEMAND. BY 2013, BLACKOUT LIGHTING EFFECTS HAD REACHED PEAK OPERATION IN SOUTHERN PLACER COUNTY AND NEEDED TO EXPANDI. IN 2014, THE COMPANY REACHED OUT TO THE SACRAMENTO AREA AND SOON CAUGHT FIRE WITH POPULARITY. BY THE SPRING OF 2014, BLACKOUT HAD INFILTRATED SMALL BARS AND EVEN NIGHTCLUBS IN MIDTOWN SACRAMENTO SUPPLYING NEW AND WILD LIGHTING EFFECTS FOR DANCE CLUBS, HIP HOP SHOWS, ROCK SHOWS AND ESPECIALLY DJ NIGHTS. OWNER AND OPERATOR, ALEX, HAD BECOME ONE WITH THE MIDTOWN MUSIC SCENE AND DECIDED TO DUST OFF THOSE OLD TURNTABLES WHICH HAD BEEN LEFT FOR YEARS IN STORAGE AND PUT THEM TO USE. AS INDEPENDENT PRODUCTIONS BEGAN MATERIALIZING, A CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE NAME OF THE COMPANY. BLACKOUT PRODUCTIONS WAS REBORN AND NOW RESIDES IN MIDTOWN SACRAMENTO. TODAY, BLACKOUT PRODUCTIONS HOSTS INDEPENDENT EVENTS AROUND TOWN AND ALSO SUPPLIES FUN AND WILD CLUB LIGHTING FOR OTHERS AS WELL. WE WILL NEVER STOP GROWING AND BETTERING OUR SERVICES.
