Avoiding Costly Mistakes in Lighting

In the realm of lighting solutions, avoiding costly mistakes is paramount. Regrettably, 20% of our projects involve rectifying errors made by others.

Our Studio Lighting Solutions

Low Ceiling Lighting Solution

Not every studio has the luxury of high ceilings, but that shouldn’t limit the quality of your production lighting. Our LightPro Low Ceiling Solution is designed specifically for spaces with restricted height, delivering professional results in broadcast, video, and photography environments.

​

This system uses a smart combination of front key lights, overhead butterfly lighting, and rear backlighting to achieve soft, flattering illumination while maintaining depth and separation between subject and background. The setup creates a cinematic three-point lighting effect—even in compact spaces.

 

Performance testing has shown exceptional results:

  • LUX 1174 – providing brightness on par with professional studios

  • TLCI 98.3 – excellent colour accuracy with no correction required

  • Duv -0.0029 – near-perfect neutral white balance with a flattering skin tone bias

  • Rg 101.7 – vivid, natural colour rendering that enhances every subject​

 

These results prove that even with limited ceiling height, the LightPro system delivers broadcast-quality lighting that is bright, accurate, and reliable—ensuring your content looks professional every time.

Overhead Softboxes & Grids

Overhead Softboxes & Grids

Overhead Softboxes & Grids are essential for creating soft, even lighting across your studio space. By diffusing light from above, they eliminate harsh shadows and provide consistent coverage—perfect for photography, video production, livestreaming, and interviews. Grids add an extra layer of control by directing the light exactly where it’s needed, reducing spill and keeping the background clean. Whether you’re shooting on a white cyclorama, green screen, or podcast set, an overhead softbox system delivers professional, studio-quality results every time.

Pantograph & Ceiling Track Systems

Pantograph & Ceiling Track Systems make studio lighting more flexible, efficient, and safe. A ceiling-mounted track allows lights to glide smoothly across the space, while pantographs enable quick height adjustments without the need for stands or ladders. This setup keeps the studio floor clear, maximises working space, and ensures precise light positioning for photography, video, and podcast production. With a professional track and pantograph system, your team can adapt the lighting setup in seconds, making it ideal for busy studios where efficiency and quality are a priority.

Cyclorama Lighting

Cyclorama Lighting

Cyclorama Lighting is the key to achieving a seamless, professional look in both photography and video production. By evenly washing light across the curved surfaces of a cyc wall, shadows are minimised and the background appears infinite—perfect for product shoots, portraits, commercials, and green screen work. With the right combination of overhead softboxes, floods, and controlled side lighting, cyclorama studios become highly versatile, allowing creators to switch between clean white backgrounds, coloured lighting effects, or chroma key setups. A well-lit cyc wall ensures every project looks polished and broadcast-ready.
