Creative Lighting Tips on a Budget: Chinese Lanterns and LiteGear’s LiteStix

Are you are an experienced gaffer, lighting professional, set designer, or DP interested in lighting a tight area or looking to create a little extra accent lighting? 

Are you new to product or event lighting and looking for simple, inexpensive, quality lighting tools without having to make a big investment in gear? 

Here are a couple of excellent options to consider:

 

Chinese Lanterns / China Balls:  

Chinese lanterns / china balls provide an excellent soft, even light that can be used to top light a large open area from above as a natural light (daylight) source or matched to standard room temperature lighting (tungsten). Chinese lanterns / china balls are also excellent to light round table interviews.  

They are available in a variety of sizes, including:  12", 16", 20" or 24" in paper, nylon or artificial silk.  The lanterns are sold separately from the lamp socket, power cord or lamp; however, all of the necessary parts are sold on our website.  We also sell colored lamps in red, blue, green and yellow, if you're interested in creating a special effect as well.  All of the Chinese lanterns / china balls we sell are under $10.00, plus accessories.
