Great lighting is rarely accidental. It is the result of considered creative decisions, supported by tools that are reliable, flexible and designed for the realities of modern video production. That’s why Amaran is a natural partner for the lighting category. Today’s filmmakers are expected to deliver high-quality results quickly, often with smaller crews and tighter budgets. Amaran’s reputation is built on making powerful, versatile lighting solutions accessible without compromising on performance. Its range includes compact panels, high- output COB fixtures and flexible tubes, all designed to adapt to a wide range of shooting environments.

Quick to rig, intuitive to operate and capable of delivering clean, consistent output, they allow filmmakers to focus on creative choices rather than technical limitations. Wireless app control further streamlines on-set adjustments, so it is easier to refine colour, intensity and effects in real time.
