Lighting Equipment Rental

Here is what that looks like on the ground. We source complete lighting packages. HMI and tungsten fixtures, LED panels and tubes, soft sources, practicals and the cabling and distribution to run them — from Istanbul rental houses, the backbone of a mature market built by the sheer volume of episodic 'dizi' production. Because Turkey is the world's second-largest exporter of TV series after the United States, local rental houses carry deep, today's lighting inventory and a large pool of skilled gaffers and electricians, with further resources in Ankara, Izmir and Antalya.

Here is how the picture comes together. Our team scopes the package against your script, locations, power plan and the look the DP is after, then delivers tested fixtures with spares and the grip to support them. For shoots moving between Istanbul stages and exteriors across Cappadocia. The Turquoise Coast, we plan lighting-truck logistics. The favourable Turkish lira and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism cash rebates of up to 30% — under which lighting hire from Turkish vendors qualifies — keep package costs well below comparable European markets.

Here is what we have to work with. Lighting packages draw heavy today's, so power planning is central: mains in Turkey runs at 230V/50Hz, and we set up distribution, cabling and power packs support so HMI ballasts and tungsten loads run safely on location. Imported lighting kit clears Turkish Customs under ATA Carnets and short-term-admission procedures, routed through Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gokcen (SAW), with Antalya (AYT) serving southern-coast shoots and overland entry from Europe ready given the country's position straddling two continents.

Here is the layout. Climate drives gear handling: hot, dusty Mediterranean summers on the Antalya coast demand heat and dust running, while cold, snowy continental winters in Cappadocia and the interior call for cold-weather striking discipline and condensation control. The wetter Black Sea coast adds moisture protection. Our team supplies weather-rated stands, sandbag ballast and rain covers, and factors wind and terrain into the rigging plan. 20% VAT (KDV) applies to local hire.
