Complete LED, HMI, and tungsten lighting packages with grip and power prepped through Filmgear Ireland, TVM Ireland, Pyramid Camera, and Hammer Hill Studios Belfast
Here is how this works in practice. Lighting kit rental in Ireland routes through Filmgear Ireland Dublin as the dedicated lighting house (the deepest ARRI SkyPanel S60, S120, and S360 inventory plus full Litepanels Gemini. Aputure 600d Pro and 1200d Pro, and Astera Titan Tubes stock). TVM Ireland Dublin (cross-discipline camera-and-lighting cage running Banshees of Inisherin. Vikings Ashford, and The Quiet Girl orders), Pyramid Camera Dublin (Foundation Apple TV+ and Normal People HBO LED packages), and Hammer Hill Studios Belfast (Game of Thrones eight-season fixture roster through Titanic Studios).
Here is the short of it. We build complete packages around prestige Section 481 32 percent and 40 percent regional uplift productions. ARRI SkyPanel S360 strings for cyclorama and large-source soft light at Ardmore, Ashford. Troy, and Titanic Studios stages. K5600 Joker HMI Pars and ARRI M-Series HMIs for big-rig daylight punch on Connemara, Donegal, and Achill exteriors, Mole-Richardson Senior and Tener tungsten Fresnels for warm interior period work on Vikings Ashford and Foundation studio shoots.
Here is the breakdown. Ireland's 230V/50Hz European voltage runs UK gear plug-and-play under the Common Travel Area frictionless border. This includes cross-border supplements through ARRI Rental London and Panavision London ship same-day via Holyhead-Dublin ferry or BFS-LHR air freight with no carnet for UK-start stock. Schengen and non-UK European inventory routes Revenue Commissioners ATA carnet through DUB Dublin Airport. ORK Cork. SNN Shannon, or BFS Belfast Global with records processed through the same coordinator handling the rental booking.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Atlantic maritime climate weatherproofing dictates IP-rated fixtures and weighted stands for the Wild Atlantic Way wind exposure at Cliffs of Moher. Aran Islands. Donegal Slieve League; heritage zone permits at Skellig Michael UNESCO. Giant's Causeway UNESCO, and Newgrange dictate silent ballast positioning and limited fixture footprint pre-approved with OPW and National Monuments. Honda EU2200i and Wacker Neuson 50/150 kVA tow-behind generators cover off-grid power for remote location lighting.
