SCENE 01 / LED LIGHTING SYSTEMS
LED Lighting Systems
Professional LED lighting packages for film, TV, and commercial production across Ireland.
LED lighting systems have transformed film production with their energy efficiency, low heat output, and tunable color temperature. In Ireland, LED technology is deployed at Ardmore Studios, Troy Studios Limerick, and Ashford Studios, delivering high-quality illumination for productions benefiting from Screen Ireland's tax incentives.
We source LED lighting systems from leading manufacturers through Irish rental partners, matching your gaffer's specifications with available inventory. Our team coordinates fixture selection, control systems, and accessories for a complete LED package suited to Ireland's production environment.

ARRI SkyPanel S60/S120/S360 + Aputure 600d/1200d Pro + Astera Titan Tubes LED packages across Ardmore, Ashford and Troy Studios stock
Here is how this works in practice. Ireland's LED-lighting infrastructure carries one of the deepest LED-source benches in the British Isles. Anchored by Ardmore Studios (Wicklow). Ashford Studios (Wicklow. Vikings home), Troy Studios Limerick (Foundation Apple TV+ home) and Titanic Studios Belfast (Game of Thrones home). The local LED standard runs ARRI SkyPanel S360-C + S120-C + S60-C as the soft-source spine. With Aputure 1200d Pro and 600d Pro delivering Bowens-mount daylight punch for run-and-gun and Astera Titan Tubes plus Helios pixel-mapped tubes for tube-source work, table-edge fills and practical augmentation. Quasar Science Q-LED Crossfade tubes handle hidden-practical lighting.
Here is the short of it. Litepanels Gemini 2x1 + 1x1 + Studio Astra 1x1 cover documentary and corporate. The Cartoon Saloon Kilkenny animation-lit set (the home of 4× Best Animated Feature Oscar-nominated Wolfwalkers + Breadwinner + Song of the Sea + Secret of Kells) plus Boulder Media Dublin. Brown Bag Films. JAM Media and Studio Brown Dog drove early local LED adoption for animation light-table and reference-pass work.
Here is the breakdown. DMX-512 + Art-Net + sACN control via Luminex GigaCore network switches and MA Lighting grandMA3 onPC consoles drives multi-room rigs at Troy Studios. Titanic Studios and the major Dublin and Belfast live venues (3Arena + SSE Arena Belfast + Marlay Park + Croke Park). The Lumenradio CRMX wireless DMX standard handles Wild Atlantic Way exterior runs and Aran Islands Gaeltacht remote sets. Foundation Apple TV+ at Troy Studios drives the LED-virtual-production tie-in where SkyPanel S360-C panels colour-match the LED-wall content. With Brompton Tessera SX40 and TR4 processors handling colour-pipeline integration.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Cartoon Saloon, Boulder Media and Brown Bag Films use Astera Titan-Tube pixel-mapped sequences for 2D animation reference-rig work. Section 481 32% relief plus 40% regional uplift covers LED day-rate hire across all qualifying productions. Cross-border CTA plan let LED packages move between Republic and Northern Ireland on the same shoot day without carnet friction. Bilingual EN/Irish (Gaeilge) operator coordination is standard, and ATA carnet through Revenue Commissioners clears imported specialty LED packages cleanly.
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.
