SCENE 01 / LED LIGHTING SYSTEMS
LED Lighting Systems
Professional LED lighting packages for film, TV, and commercial production across New York.
LED lighting systems have transformed film production with their energy efficiency, low heat output, and tunable color temperature. In New York, LED technology is standard at Steiner Studios, Silvercup Studios, and Kaufman Astoria, where energy-efficient LED operation helps manage power limitations common in NYC location shoots.
We source LED lighting systems from leading manufacturers through NYC rental partners like TCS and ARRI Rental, matching your gaffer's specifications with available inventory. Our team coordinates fixture selection, control systems, and accessories for a complete LED package suited to New York's production demands.

Cinema-grade LED packages tuned to NYC stages and street work
Here is how the work lines up. LED is the default lighting layer on every New York drama, feature and commercial that runs through Steiner Studios in Brooklyn Navy Yard, Silvercup in Long Island City, and Kaufman Astoria in Queens — and our packages are built around the fixtures NYC gaffers actually call for.
IATSE Local 52 lighting departments specify ARRI SkyPanel S60 and S30 for soft-panel positions, Aputure 1200d and 600x for harder COB throws, Mole-Richardson and Litepanels Gemini for the cinema-LED range, and Astera Titan tubes plus Quasar Science for the practical and pixel-mapped work showing up on HBO, Netflix and FX limited series.
Inventory comes through Eastern Effects out of Gowanus, Hello Bro on the West Side, JR Lighting & Power, and ARRI Rental — the houses Local 52 best boys pull from when they need same-day swaps between Brooklyn loft interiors and a Manhattan rooftop hero shot. ARRI Orbiter fills the slot when the DP wants the highest TLCI numbers for global streamer delivery against the NYS Film Tax Credit 30% baseline plus the 10% NYC uplift sign-off.
Control and power infrastructure are part of every package, not an afterthought. DMX over wired and LumenRadio CRMX, in-house apps for ARRI, Aputure and Astera, and full lighting consoles are specified for productions that need pixel-mapped cycloramas on Steiner Stage 5, greenscreen at Kaufman Astoria, or programmable practicals on Brooklyn brownstone interiors. Battery-powered LED kits run on V-mount and Gold-mount packs for shoots inside Manhattan apartments and Brooklyn lofts where the ConEd tie-in is limited or the Tier-4 low-emission generator rules south of 60th Street block traditional diesel sets.
IATSE Local 52 gaffers and lighting technicians fluent in modern LED workflow — DMX patching, wireless commissioning, LUT-matched colour management against the DP's monitor — book directly alongside the gear, with NYC MOME Made in NY permits, FDNY film safety officer coordination and NYS Film Tax Credit paperwork handled on the same line.
FAQ
Professional LED Equipment
What LED brands do you offer?
We provide equipment from all major professional LED brands including ARRI (SkyPanel, Orbiter), Aputure (LS series, amaran), Astera (Titan Tube, Helios), Litepanels (Gemini, Astra), Quasar Science, and others. Brand selection depends on availability and your specific requirements.
Can LED lights match tungsten or daylight?
Yes. Modern cinema LEDs offer excellent color accuracy and can dial to precise color temperatures from 2700K tungsten to 6500K daylight and beyond. High-end fixtures like ARRI SkyPanel offer TLCI ratings of 95+ for broadcast and cinema applications.
Are battery-powered LED options available?
Yes. Many LED fixtures operate on V-mount or Gold-mount batteries, making them ideal for location work without generator access. We can specify battery-powered packages for run-and-gun documentary, ENG, and remote location productions.
How do you control multiple LED fixtures?
LED control options include DMX (wired and wireless), proprietary apps (ARRI, Aputure, Astera), and integrated console systems. We can provide control infrastructure matched to your production's complexity.
Do LED packages include stands and rigging?
Basic packages include appropriate stands for each fixture. Overhead rigging, specialty mounts, and advanced grip equipment are available as additions. We can specify complete packages including all support equipment.
Can you provide LED technicians for operation?
Yes. We can provide LED/lighting technicians familiar with modern LED systems, DMX programming, and wireless control for productions requiring technical support beyond standard gaffer services.
