Professional 4.8kW HMI 5600K Daylight Balloon Light 5m Helium Film Lighting Balloon
Professional 4.8kW HMI 5600K Daylight Balloon Light 5m Helium Film Lighting Balloon
The 4.8 kW HMI Film Lighting Balloon is a professional aerial soft-light system designed for film production, television shoots, large outdoor events, and night scene illumination. Using four 1.2 kW HMI tubes, this lighting balloon delivers powerful output with a natural daylight color temperature, creating a wide, soft, and evenly diffused lighting effect from above.
When inflated with helium, the balloon rises into the air and acts as a large overhead soft light source, simulating natural skylight. This makes it ideal for night filming, large scene illumination, and outdoor productions where consistent and natural lighting is required.
With a 5600K daylight color temperature, the HMI system perfectly matches natural sunlight and other daylight-balanced fixtures. A high CRI of ≥92 ensures accurate color reproduction, making it suitable for high-end film and television production.
The balloon measures 16.5 ft × 8 ft (5 m × 2.5 m), providing broad, glare-free illumination over a large area. The lighting system operates with an electronic ballast, ensuring stable output and flicker-free performance, which is essential for professional digital cinema cameras and high-speed shooting.
Designed for efficiency and reliability, the system can typically be fully installed in about 45 minutes, and it can safely operate in wind conditions of up to 20 mph.
