Lighting Technician Services
Pro film lighting crews across France.
A lighting technician sets up, runs, and looks after the lighting kit on a film or TV shoot. They follow the gaffer's plan, placing fixtures and running power, then tune the intensity and color to land the look the team wants. Good lighting shapes the mood, depth, and visual quality of every shot.
We connect you with lighting technicians who bring both tech know-how and a creative eye to shoots of every size. Our network spans pros skilled in studio builds, location work, and mixed-lighting setups across features, commercials, and broadcast TV.

Lighting technicians ready for French rigs
Lighting technicians — known on French sets as électros — are the muscle and instinct behind the gaffer's plan. The ones we book have rigged ARRI SkyPanels, Aputure LS series, HMI Pars, and tungsten Fresnels on Cité du Cinéma stage builds, Lyon studio interiors, and all-night Bordeaux exteriors. They know French power standards and prep at TSF, Transpalux, Panavision Alga, and RVZ with no language friction. Each one holds habilitation électrique certs that meet French insurer and CST safety rules.
Day to day, that means an électro who can pre-rig a Paris feature interior before crew call, fix a power packs-fed exterior in the Verdon or on the Camargue, and strike a commercial stage build inside the window the studio booked. We field crews from a single sparks for a Marseille interview up through full electric departments with a best boy, rigging gaffer, and power packs operator for a Nice commercial. Most are bilingual French-English, at ease with global DPs and used to working under the gaffer on multi-week schedules.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a lighting technician do?
A lighting technician, also called a spark or electrician, sets up, runs, and looks after lighting kit on a film or TV set. They work under the gaffer, rigging lights, running cables, and controlling dimmers. Across the shoot they fine-tune each setup so it matches the cinematographer's lighting design.
What skills should a lighting technician have?
A lighting technician needs hands-on grasp of electrical safety and a firm command of lighting instruments and where they go. They must also have the strength to rig and place heavy gear. The role calls for a sharp eye, a safety-first mindset, and the pace to keep up with tight shooting schedules.
What types of productions need a lighting technician?
Any production that needs controlled lighting calls for lighting technicians, from feature films and TV series to commercials and corporate videos. How many you need scales with the size of the shoot, how involved the lighting design is, and how many locations are in play.
How do you match a lighting technician to my production?
We review your lighting needs, shooting schedule, and the scale of your production, then suggest technicians with the right experience. Our match also weighs how well each one knows the lighting instruments and rigging systems your project calls for.
What equipment does a lighting technician work with?
Lighting technicians work with a wide range of instruments, including tungsten, HMI, fluorescent, and LED fixtures, plus grip kit such as flags, diffusion frames, and reflectors. They also handle electrical distribution gear like power packs, cable runs, and dimmer boards.
