Project Overview
Time: September 2025
Location: Berlin, Germany
Application: Feature film stage and large brand launch environment
For a large-scale production in Berlin, the lighting team needed a powerful overhead source that could create a natural soft ambience across a wide interior set. The scene involved a warehouse-style environment with vehicles, crew movement, background action, and multiple camera angles. Traditional hard fixtures created visible shadows and uneven coverage, while smaller soft lights required too many units to achieve the desired scale.
At the same time, the production company was preparing a premium brand launch event in a temporary venue. The lighting had to feel elegant in person, camera-friendly for broadcast and social media, and powerful enough to cover presentation areas, scenic structures, guest zones, and product displays.
HAFE recommended the Artemis Sphere LED5400—a large spherical LED helium balloon light designed to deliver powerful, immersive, soft illumination for film, television, events, entertainment, architectural, and industrial applications.
What the Client Cared About
Large-area soft illumination
The client needed a light source that could cover a wide working area from above without creating harsh contrast, visible hotspots, or strong directional shadows.
Camera-friendly ambience
For film production and brand-event filming, the lighting had to look natural on camera, support wide shots, and create a visually comfortable atmosphere for both talent and audiences.
Flexible use across different environments
- Feature film interiors
- Warehouse and industrial sets
- Large event spaces
- Brand launch environments
- Exhibition halls
- Temporary venues
- High-ceiling interiors
A visually soft but powerful source
The fixture had to provide enough output for large spaces while keeping the quality of light smooth, diffused, and flattering.
Immersive atmosphere
For event and entertainment applications, the client wanted a lighting solution that could contribute to the atmosphere of the space—not just illuminate it. The spherical form needed to feel premium, architectural, and intentional.
Professional production workflow
The system had to support demanding production schedules, safe overhead installation, and practical integration into stage, film, and event environments.
HAFE Solution
A powerful spherical source for wide, natural ambience
HAFE supplied the Artemis Sphere LED5400 as the primary overhead soft-light source. Suspended above the main shooting and presentation areas, the spherical balloon created a broad luminous volume that filled the space with smooth, even light.
On the film stage, the LED5400 worked as a large ambient base source. It helped establish natural exposure across the set while allowing the lighting team to add motivated key lights, practical accents, and background effects where needed. This approach gave the cinematographer more freedom for wide shots, moving cameras, and complex blocking.
For the brand launch event, the Artemis Sphere LED5400 created a premium soft environment that looked comfortable to guests and controlled on camera. Its spherical shape helped add visual softness and spatial depth to the venue, making the lighting feel integrated rather than purely technical.
The fixture is also well suited for architectural and industrial lighting tasks where high-altitude illumination and large-area coverage are required, provided that weather conditions, rigging points, and site safety requirements are properly assessed.
