Lighting Equipment Rental

Here is how the work lines up. Lighting equipment rental in New York is anchored by Eastern Effects in Gowanus Brooklyn — the dominant Northeast lighting and grip house — Eastern Studios Williamsburg, Stockwell Inc., LightWild, ARRI Lighting NY, Mole-Richardson NY, K5600 NY, Cine Lighting Services, and Bednark Studio covering the regional spread productions hit jumping between Silvercup Long Island City, Steiner Studios at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Kaufman Astoria, the York Studios Bronx campus, Greenpoint Loft warehouse builds, Manhattan brownstones, Brooklyn rooftop exteriors, and Hudson Valley unit moves.

Across that network our team books the full LED, HMI, and tungsten stack — ARRI SkyPanel S30, S60, S120, and S360 sets, Aputure 300x, 600x, 1200d Pro, and Nova P600c, Litepanels Gemini 2x1 and 1x1 hard and soft, ARRI L-Series LED Fresnels, ARRI M-Series HMIs from M8 through M90, K5600 Joker2 400/800/1600 and Alpha 4K and 9K Pars, Mole-Richardson 5K Senior, 10K and 20K Big Eye, Wendy nine-light, Junior, Baby, and Tweenie tungsten, ARRI T-series Fresnels, Source Four ellipsoidals, Astera Titan and Helios tubes, Quasar Science crossfade tubes, LiteGear LiteMat 4 and S2, and LiteRibbon for set-build practicals. Grip stock runs alongside — Matthews and Avenger C-stands and combos, 4x4 through 20x20 frames, Magic Cloth, 1/4 and 1/2 grid, Ultrabounce, Griffolyn, and full duvetyn flag families.

Each package leaves the warehouse load-tested — electronic ballasts cycled, LED fixtures colour-checked against the camera's white point with Master TC sync checked across the SkyPanel and Aputure stock, dimmer curves logged on the Lutron, ETC Eos, and grandMA boards, and Bates feeder, Socapex 19-pin multi-cable, and distro boxes pre-coiled and labelled for the truck loadout. IATSE Local 52 gaffers and best boys from the East Coast pool handle load calculations, neutral and ground check, and tie-in coordination with the location electricians and ConEdison mains.

Lightning Production Rentals, Star Waggons, and Cinelease tow-behind 1200A and 800A silent generators stage for locations without reliable mains — Hudson Valley unit moves, Brooklyn rooftops, Manhattan parade-route exteriors with NYC DOT parking suspensions, and the Greenpoint Loft warehouse builds where ConEdison tie-ins aren't possible. FDNY fire-watch, the MOME Made in NY permit, NYS Film Tax Credit documentation through ESD, FCC RF coordination for the densest RF settings in the US, and a 24-hour replacement cycle out of Gowanus and Williamsburg keep shoot days running clean.
