Aerial Lighting Drones
Some scenes need light from a place you can't rig a fixture. Our aerial lighting drones fly a high-output, dimmable source anywhere above the scene — no crane or condor required.
Aerial lighting puts a movable movie light in three-dimensional space: a high-output LED flown on a drone, positioned and moved above night exteriors, large sets and action from angles a crane simply can't reach.
We fly two rigs. The custom Y6 carries a 33,000-lumen LED on a tiltable gimbal for around 18 minutes — ideal as a soft, movable key or fill. The Alta X / Tango II delivers a 70,000-lumen spotlight that moves freely through 360°.

Light where a crane can't go
A drone-mounted light reaches over water, across ravines, above crowds and around structures a condor would take hours to serve. It moves with the action, follows a performer, or becomes a motivated source — a helicopter, a moon — that actually travels through the shot.
Dimmable and controllable
Both rigs are fully dimmable to the exact output the DP calls for, so the aerial source integrates with the ground package. The 70,000-lumen spotlight gives hard, directional punch; the 33,000-lumen Y6 gives a softer, mobile key — repositioned in seconds between setups.
Frequently asked
- How bright are the aerial lights?
- We fly a 33,000-lumen LED on the custom Y6 and a 70,000-lumen spotlight on the Alta X / Tango II. Both are dimmable to the exact output the scene needs.
- How long can the light stay airborne?
- The 33,000-lumen Y6 flies for around 18 minutes per battery set; the 70,000-lumen spotlight rig flies 8–12 minutes. We hot-swap between setups to keep the shoot moving.
