2020 marks the 20th anniversary of the Australasian Lighting Industry Association, now known as simply ALIA.
As a founder and the editor of ALIA, I had a few events in mind to celebrate the fact but I am abandoning them all in favour of raising money for the Australian people and wildlife affected by the fires.
Production companies are helping out by supplying crew and gear for planned charity concerts but I’m reaching out to the actual manufacturers to help.
I am going to ask lighting manufacturers from around the world to donate a piece of gear that will be auctioned online via ALIA. All money raised will go to BlazeAid and the RSPCA’s National Bushfire Appeal.
The distributor will be tasked with getting the gear to the buyer. Bidding is only open to Australian residents due to shipping costs.

Big shout out to the fabulous Lyndon Buckley for his help getting the auction page up and running.
