Lighting Equipment Rental

Here is how this works in practice. We help lighting kit rental through vetted rental houses in Bucharest, a market built over three decades of servicing global shoots and now one of the most capable in Eastern Europe. Our team works with the gaffer to specify a complete package, covering LED fixtures for efficient, controllable output, HMIs for daylight power, tungsten for classic warmth, and the dimming, distribution and grip needed to control it all.

Here is the short of it. We negotiate competitive rates, manage delivery and return logistics, and assemble the package so the right fixtures, extras, consumables and backup units arrive on time and tested. Power is handled as part of the service, with power packs rental, distribution and load calculations set up to each location. Where shoots call for it, we bring in skilled Romanian lighting crews, gaffers, best boys, electricians and rigging teams who know the gear and local power systems. For specialty fixtures, balloon lights or large Dino-style units, we cross-rent across the EU, and our technicians stay on call with rapid replacement through the shoot.

Here is the breakdown. Romania has serviced global shoots since the 1990s, from 'Cold Mountain' to Tim Burton's Netflix series 'Wednesday', and its lighting rental base has matured into a deep, cost-competitive resource. The state-aid cash rebates of up to 45% on eligible Romanian spend, administered through the Romanian Film Centre (CNC), the CNC, makes sourcing lighting locally attractive on the budget.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. As an EU member now inside the Schengen Area, Romania lets lighting kit move freely from elsewhere in the EU with no ATA carnet, so extra fixtures cross-rented from regional houses reach set fast. Non-EU shoots still need a carnet. Mains power runs at 230V/50Hz. Romanian locations make different needs on a lighting package, from heritage castles with tight mains where power packs support and careful cabling are key, to remote Carpathian exteriors and the UNESCO Danube Delta. The temperate land-based climate brings cold, snowy winters that suit winter shoots but call for protecting fixtures and ballasts against condensation when moving between heated interiors and sub-zero exteriors.
