Ayrton announces the appointment of Q-Light, Egypt as the latest addition to its international distributor’s network. As Ayrton’s newest exclusive distributor, Q-Light will be responsible for the distribution of the full portfolio of Ayrton’s LED profile, wash, spot and effects luminaires in Egypt.

Bahnasy has great experience in the lighting industry, particularly in Egypt, North Africa, and Middle East, where he was responsible for the photography and lighting of the biggest television and live shows, including Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Deal or No Deal, and the Doha Debates.
His previous position as Supervisor and Team Leader of the lighting departments in the region’s biggest TV networks – MBC, Qatar Foundation, BBC, Aljazeera media network and BeIn Group – has allowed him to build a comprehensive understanding of the lighting business across the region.
“We are extremely excited to be appointed Ayrton’s exclusive distributor in Egypt,” says Bahnasy. “Egypt is witnessing a significant sustainable development in various fields, especially in economics, architecture, culture and arts. This development has revolutionized the entertainment and leisure industry in the Egyptian market, as a result of which Q-Light has been able to add huge value to the region with Ayrton’s products which guarantee creativity, dependability, and incomparability.
In the last couple of years Ayrton has made huge improvements that have convinced lighting consultants and engineers to use Ayrton’s unique products in their projects. They are ready and waiting to see these new products in the Egyptian market now.”
