Ian was one of Ireland's best known lighting experts, having been with Just Lite for many years. One of three brothers in the outfit, he worked alongside Paul Smith and Alan Smith in a company that brought the art of lighting design to a new level in Ireland.

Founded in 1987 by Paul Smith, Just Lite were named Best Lighting Company at the Events Industry Awards in 2010. They have worked on virtually all of the big events in the music sphere, including Oxegen, Electric Picnic, Marlay Park and many more.

Ian died suddenly of a heart attack last Saturday. The funeral took place in Swords yesterday. Our heartfelt condolences to both Paul and Alan in what is a terribly difficult time for the family. May he rest in peace.
