Our lighting expertise

ELC France offers its lighting expertise to a wide range of professions, including firefighters, emergency services and construction workers, as well as to the advertising and film industries. Despite their differences, all these professions require efficient, ergonomic lighting systems. That's why ELC offers a wide range of lighting products, including illuminated balloons, that are easy to transport and install.

What are the special features of our flares?

Our balloons feature 360° lighting that is powerful, effective and non-blinding. They can be easily mounted on ergonomic tripods. As an example, a single person can assemble one of our movie balloons in less than 2 minutes. Generous cable lengths enable you to connect our balloons to the mains or a generator. What's more, our slim cables are easy to conceal.

Why use our flares for your film?

On a shoot, every minute counts. That's why it's important to opt for a lighting solution that's easy to use and efficient. Furthermore, light control is an essential element in capturing professional-looking images. The LED lighting on our balloons diffuses a light that's ideal for filming with digital cameras, for example.

So you can give a scene in a parking lot or outdoors a professional feel. The white light of our movie balloons creates a lunar effect, communicating to the viewer that the scene is taking place at night. If the light is too strong, it can be subdued with covers.

For rainy or dusty scenes

Need to shoot a scene in the rain or on a windy beach? No problem! Our movie balloons feature a protection rating that ensures they're hermetically sealed. The LUMAPHORE® 300XL, for example, offers IP65 protection against dust and sand, as well as water jets from all directions.

Which balloon should you choose for your film lighting?

ELC France offers a wide range of lighting balloons for cinema. Our LUMAPHORE® range is particularly popular for its efficiency and ergonomics. Try the LUMAPHORE® 300XL and 600XL models, for example, which offer lighting powers of 300 and 520W respectively. LED lighting enables you to illuminate large surfaces, while benefiting from a high degree of protection (IP65) and mechanical resistance (IK10) for intensive use.
