Strike A Light Upright Hire for Corporate Events, Exhibitions & Roadshows

Our Strike A Light Hire 🚨 delivers fast-paced LED reaction gameplay in a vertical standing cabinet — purpose-built for roadshows, large-scale product launches, exhibitions, retail activations and multi-location campaigns across Dublin and Ireland. For a tabletop format see our Strike a Light Tabletop; it also sits alongside our Batak Pro, Batak Lite and Catch It on a busy stand.

The cabinet stands 1.6m tall with red LED buttons on one side and blue on the other, giving you a fully upright two-player reaction game with serious visual presence on a show floor. Players stand at the unit head-to-head, racing the 30-second clock — and because the cabinet is taller than the average exhibition table or surrounding stand furniture, the action stays visible from right across a venue. That’s the standing format’s main job: pull passing footfall in from distance and keep a queue building.

Standard mode has players racing to hit as many illuminated LEDs as possible in 30 seconds, with a points penalty for hitting an unlit button — so it rewards precision under pressure as much as raw speed. Battle mode is a direct transfer duel: every button you extinguish on your side lights up on your opponent’s, until one player clears their panel completely. Both modes generate loud, competitive energy that turns the area around the cabinet into the busiest point on any stand. Throughput sits at around 60 to 80 plays per hour with rapid rotation, which makes the standing format particularly well-suited to full-day exhibitions and multi-day roadshows where you need a high proportion of attendees to actually get a go.

The all-four-sides branded wrap turns the cabinet into a 360-degree branded asset — visible from every angle, including from behind the unit when guests are looking at the game from the wider venue. That’s what makes the standing format the strongest choice for campaigns that need to travel: wrap once, ship to every venue, brand presence intact across the full campaign duration. For events where you have less floor space available, or where you want players facing each other across a horizontal playing surface, our tabletop version delivers the same gameplay in a compact 1.5m × 1.5m horizontal format.

📅 Hire Rates 1–7 Days

Multi-day discount applies automatically — the longer the hire, the lower the per-day rate. Pricing below is for Strike A Light Upright on its own (Game Hire only). Branding, leaderboard and Activation Package multi-day rates quoted separately — call 01 5166 550.

🎨 Branding & Activation Options

Two branding tiers for the upright cabinet — a Full Custom Wrap for the factory-finish 4-sided result, or Partial Decals on the crowd-facing panels for tighter budgets. All printing, fitting and post-event removal is produced entirely in-house at Entertainment Solutions.

The starting point — unbranded Strike A Light Upright

The standard cabinet stands 1.6m tall in a clean black-and-grey finish with red LED buttons on one side and blue on the other — pictured here. The two branding tiers below add visible brand presence to this base unit at a fixed price, turning the cabinet into a high-impact branded asset on the show floor.

All branding is produced entirely in-house — print, fit, removal and post-event restoration. Your design team supplies artwork using our keyline template (10mm bleed, no cut lines on the button-mount panels — vinyl is fitted first, buttons re-mounted through). Lead time is 2 weeks from artwork supplied. If you’d prefer our in-house designer to create the artwork, that’s available as a fixed-fee add-on below.

For brands wanting a complete activation, we can also provide brand ambassador staffing, on-site event management, branded leaderboards, backdrops, tension fabric displays, floor decals and bespoke activation structures — one supplier, full activation delivered. Call 01 5166 550 to discuss.

Premium Activation — Full Custom Wrap

The standout option for brands looking to make Strike A Light feel like it was built for them. Every visible surface wrapped in your brand, the cabinet fully disassembled in-house, all electronics tested before delivery, and fully restored to standard post-event. A few days of in-house labour go into making this look like a factory build, not a sticker job.

Branding Add-Ons — Fixed Prices

Branding is an optional paid add-on. Prices below are in addition to the game hire fee — pick individual panels or the full custom wrap.

🚚 Delivery, Setup & Collection — Quoted Per Event

Delivery isn't a flat fee, and that's deliberate. A fixed price would mean simple local jobs subsidising the complex ones — quoting per event means you only pay for what your event actually needs.

Every booking includes two journeys — we deliver and install before your event, then return to collect and de-rig afterwards. Where the venue allows, we deliver the day before and collect the day after at no extra charge, so your kit is set up and tested well ahead of doors.

What shapes your quote

Most Dublin deliveries fall between €300 and €350 +VAT, covering both the install and the post-event collection. Simpler central, daytime jobs can be less; nationwide is quoted by distance.

Whatever your event needs, you'll get one firm figure before you book — delivery, professional install, testing and collection in a single all-in number, shown as a clear line on your quote. No separate setup charge, no day-of surprises.

Louise H.

Highly recommend Entertainment Solutions! They looked after everything - set up, delivery and dismantling. We exhibit at so many events across the year and this was the first time to do an engagement tactic (Mega Buzzer). It paid off - we had the busiest engagement at our stand and generated many leads! Shout out to Laura who was super to deal with and who made the whole experience seamless. Will certainly hire from them again for future events.

Siona M.

Great service from Entertainment Solutions for a recent work event. The team were professional, helpful and easy to deal with from start to finish and everything ran really smoothly on the day. We were really happy with the service and would definitely recommend them for corporate events.

Mark S.

We hired a Test Your Strength game from Entertainment Solutions for our stand at BEPEX Dublin and it was a brilliant addition to the event. The game proved really popular throughout the day and was a great way to get people stopping at the stand and getting involved. Everything ran smoothly and the team at Entertainment Solutions were easy to deal with from start to finish. Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking to add something fun and interactive to an exhibition or event.

Emma O.

I have used Entertainment Solutions for two client activations now. Both were exceptionally well received and provided high engagement with event attendees. From start to finish, Laura and her team were so helpful and pleasant to deal with. They took their time on site to explain how the machines worked, and made sure we were set up for success. I would highly recommend!

Maren D.

Excellent customer service in the run up to our event and throughout. Many thanks to Laura and Paddy!

Said M.

Highly recommended! We were attending a big conference in Dublin and wanted to make sure our stand stood out - so we booked the basketball arcade. The team showed up on time, setup was quick, and everything was sorted. However, before we could get the game going, the venue decided that the basketballs were "too risky" and posed a health hazard. Without hesitating, the brilliant team huddled and came up with an amazing solution (Batak Lite Game), confirmed with venue management, and had it delivered and installed the very next morning. Needless to say, our stand was a huge hit, everyone LOVED the game, and the experience was top-notch. We could not have done it without the Entertainment Solutions team - kudos and thank you!

Tarus M.

Was organizing an event in Dublin , found the details for Entertainment Solutions online and reached out to them . Got an absolute professional online , Laura , she was simply awesome , very professional, friendly, and extremely easy to work with. She understood exactly what i wanted and was very quick to turn around things .Laura knew I was based in Sydney and provided extra attention because of this, which made it very comfortable to work with them . The team understood exactly what we needed as a company and delivered everything on time with great attention to detail. The lighting they created added so much energy and excitement to the event. It really helped bring the whole atmosphere to life, and our guests were very impressed. Overall, Entertainment Solutions were reliable, creative, and a pleasure to partner with.

Necole Best M.

Fantastic experience! Contacted ES for suggestions on engaging games for an exec travel industry group coming to Dublin. Laura responded quickly with top suggestions and options on branding. The communication was prompt and professional. They delivered on time and demonstrated the game. Best yet, was that the attendees loved it! We used Whack a Mole and had attendees lined up to play. The game is entertaining, energetic and each round only lasts 30 seconds. Perfect for large groups. I highly recommend this team and game. Thank you Laura and team!

We used the services of Entertainment Solutions recently at the Kildare Inclusivity Festival. I would highly recommend them as an asset for your corporate or community event. A very professional team that were easy to work with, dependable, and adaptable to meet our exact needs. The games they provided proved to be a huge attraction for festival goers, that popular it was the last section of the festival to close on the day so we look forward to working with them again.
