A Vancouver-based film production required a massive soft light for a night exterior scene in a remote location with no generator capacity for traditional 18kW fixtures.
The gaffer needed high output with low power draw, helium-float capability for overhead placement, and flicker-free performance for high-speed shots.
HAFE supplied the Artemis Ellipse LED 4800 with 5.7m diameter, 4800W output, and CRMX wireless control.

The gaffer noted the balloon “delivered the soft wrap we needed without the generator hum," and that helium float saved hours of rigging time.
Compared with traditional 18kW HMI, the LED balloon offered comparable soft output at a fraction of the power draw. Unlike rigid softboxes, it floated directly over the set.
Can it be air-filled? Yes, for rigging or tripod mounting.
Is it noiseless? Yes, the Artemis series operates without fan noise.
HAFE’s Artemis series is engineered for film professionals who need high output, low power draw, and flexible deployment.
