Whats the meaning behind the name – 10K Used Gear?

More than 20 years ago Gary, the founder of 10K Used Gear, started out in the industry selling used lighting specialists. At that time, the most powerful and impressive bulb you could get your hands on was a 10K watt bulb – a 10,000-watt bulb known for its incredible brightness and reliability.

That light became a symbol of excellence – the benchmark for quality and performance. When it came time to name his new business, Gary took inspiration from that defining piece of technology. 10K Used Gear represented not just power, but precision, innovation, and trust – values that still define the company today.

What began as a lighting company soon grew beyond its original scope. Over the years, 10K expanded into sound systems, rigging, and staging, becoming a trusted source for high-quality used professional equipment across every part of live production.

Today, 10K Used Gear continues to uphold that same spirit – helping professionals around the world find the gear they need to create unforgettable events and helping companies world wide sell their unwanted gear through us. From lighting to sound, from rigging to staging, every piece of equipment we supply carries the same standard of quality and reliability that inspired our name all those years ago.
