Artemis Ellipse LED 3600 for a UK Film Production
Project OverviewA London-based film production company needed a large, soft light source for night exterior scenes and a studio set with limited rigging points. The shoot required flicker-free performance for high-speed cinematography.
Client ConcernsThe gaffer prioritized CRI above 95 for color accuracy, helium-float capability for overhead placement without rigging, and DMX control for precise intensity adjustments. Setup time had to be minimal.
HAFE SolutionHAFE provided the Artemis Ellipse LED 3600 with 4.5m diameter, 3600W output, and CRMX wireless DMX option.

The gaffer described the output as “enormously soft with no falloff surprises,” adding that helium float eliminated rigging delays on a tight schedule.
Structure ComparisonCompared with conventional 18kW HMI fixtures, the LED balloon delivered comparable soft output with lower power draw and no warm-up. Unlike rigid softboxes, it floated directly over the set.
FAQCan it be air-filled instead of helium? Yes, for rigging or tripod mounting.
Is it noiseless? Yes, the Artemis series operates without fan noise.
HAFE’s Artemis series is built for film and TV professionals who demand color accuracy, flicker-free performance, and flexible deployment.
