Project Overview
Time: Night production
Location: An overseas mountain valley set
For this project, the creative team needed a lighting fixture that could do more than simply illuminate the scene. The environment called for a bold visual statement in the sky while keeping the light soft, clean, and camera-friendly. HAFE’s Artemis Tube LED1800 was used as a suspended linear light source to create a striking floating effect above the landscape, helping the lighting become part of the visual storytelling.
Client Concerns
The client was looking for a solution that could:
- Deliver a strong linear visual presence for a cinematic night scene
- Provide soft, usable illumination without harsh hotspots
- Maintain accurate color rendering for camera work
- Support flexible color temperature tuning for different moods
- Offer reliable suspension and control for outdoor production
- Stand out as both a lighting tool and a scenic element
HAFE Solution
HAFE recommended the Artemis Tube LED1800, a compact cylindrical LED balloon light designed for creative productions that need both performance and aesthetics.
Its long tube shape makes it ideal for corridor scenes, night exteriors, music videos, fashion shoots, product launches, and futuristic environments. In this project, the fixture created a clean floating line in the sky, adding depth, drama, and atmosphere to the scene.
