The current lighting market is experiencing an unprecedented surge in offerings, presenting consumers with an extensive array of lighting sources to choose from. Seven years ago, obtaining sufficient lighting was an expensive task, often requiring the rental of hefty 1200W or 2500W/4000W (or higher) HMI metal halide sources, typically accompanied by noisy and unwieldy generators. The prospect of purchasing such equipment was daunting, with high price, such as the eye-watering $10,000 and beyond for the ARRI 2.5KW model.
At present, we find ourselves in a vastly transformed landscape where powerful lighting solutions have become remarkably affordable, courtesy of brands like Nanlite, Aperture, and Godox.
With this backdrop, I am eager to share my insights in this article. I aim to explore the considerations surrounding which light sources to invest in, ensuring that you acquire a versatile and indispensable tool to support your filmmaking endeavors for the next 3 to 5 years. Moreover, we will delve into the essential question of determining the ideal power output for your lighting source and discuss strategies for expeditiously recouping your investment in these sources.
I've crafted an informative and invaluable article just for you, featuring a curated list of must-have equipment for your projects, whether you're looking to buy or rent.
