LED Lighting Systems

Here is what that looks like on the ground. We supply today's LED lighting systems and the crews to run them across Turkey, covering panels, tubes, soft sources and full RGBW fixtures with wireless control. The country's high-volume television industry has driven Istanbul rental houses to stock today's LED inventory. Gaffers across the country are fluent in colour-accurate, app-controlled lighting workflows. LED's low heat and modest power draw make it ideal for the country's historic interiors, cave locations in Cappadocia and confined sets where tungsten would be impractical. Our lighting teams design LED-based plans in joint work with the DP, manage colour calibration and effects, and integrate fixtures with practicals and ambient light. Cost-competitive crews and the favourable Turkish lira keep well-equipped LED packages affordable within global budgets.

Here is how the picture comes together. Lighting heritage interiors and covered locations needs filming permits from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. LED systems are often the only acceptable option where heat and power loads are off-limits — inside museums, Ottoman buildings and the cave dwellings of Cappadocia. We set up these approvals and plan LED rigs around conservation limits at UNESCO areas such as the Historic Areas of Istanbul and Goreme. LED's battery-friendly power profile also suits remote locations along the Turquoise Coast and in the eastern mountains where mains supply is tight. Qualifying Turkish spend can access the Ministry of Culture and Tourism's cash rebates of up to 30%, administered through its General Directorate of Cinema. We brief shoots on venue restrictions so LED lighting plans are OK'd and deliverable.
