Lighting Equipment Rental

Lighting kit rental in South Korea draws on a tight network of rental houses around the DMC hub and the Paju Studio Cube corridor. Our team books across that whole network rather than tying shoots to one vendor. The Seoul inventory keeps ARRI SkyPanel S60 and S30 sets, Litepanels Gemini units, Aputure 600x and 1200d fixtures, and the full ARRI M-series HMI line ready to go. When a theatrical wash is called for, we add Kino Flo soft sources and Source Four ellipsoidals.

Grip stock — C-stands, combos, 4x4 through 20x20 frames, Griffolyn, Ultrabounce, and the duvetyn flag families — ships with each lighting order, so the gaffer and key grip work from one inventory list. We set up cross-rentals between partner houses daily, which matters when a SkyPanel run is already booked into a K-drama overlap at MBC Sangam or SBS Mokdong.

Each package leaves the warehouse tested under load: we cycle the electronic ballasts, colour-check the LEDs against the camera's white point, and verify the dimmer curves before delivery. For locations without trusted mains — Han River bridge underdecks, mountain temples around Bukhansan, or the snow plates shot near Pyeongchang — we size silent power packs, distro boxes, and Bates feeder to the lighting plot in prep. Our electricians then handle the load calculations and tie-in planning with location managers.

South Korea's mix of historic shooting permits, broadcast site ties, and K-content cash rebates means most global shoots arrive on tight schedules. We keep replacement fixtures and a 24-hour delivery cycle running out of Seoul, so shoot-day changes never cost you a setup. When the boards call for it, we source specialty stock — balloon lights, Dino fixtures, and underwater units — through the same partner network.

Every package is built for the Korean grid, which runs 220V at 60Hz. The HMI ballasts and LED drivers are matched to that supply, and we flicker-test fixtures at the camera's frame rate before they leave the warehouse. For locations with weak or absent mains — Bukchon Hanok Village lanes, mountain temples, or the East Sea shoreline — we size silent power packs and battery distribution into the lighting plot, so the gaffer never waits on a power source.

Our rental desk quotes full lighting packages in Korean Won, with the 10 percent VAT shown as a separate line. Daily and weekly rates step down across longer drama and feature blocks, and fixtures, grip, power, and consumables are itemised so the production reads each cost clearly. Inbound shoots clearing supplemental gear through Incheon on an ATA Carnet get manifest support from our team, and we prepare the gear paperwork that a KOFIC rebate claim requires.
