Enhance safely on set with the Candelair: A DMX-controlled LED candle
Using lit candles on film, TV, or theatre sets can create a specific atmosphere and enhance the visual appeal of a scene, but it also presents several risks. These include the risk of fire, potential burns to the cast, crew, or equipment, and air quality concerns caused by naked flames. Additionally, the unpredictable movement of a flame poses challenges for cinematography, as it can subtly alter lighting, affecting continuity across takes.
Candelair is an innovative DMX-controlled LED candle that eliminates the issues of real candles, while retaining all the visual benefits of traditional candlelight.
Why Choose the Candelair?
Flame-Free Safety: The Candelair uses LEDs with a high CRI (Colour Rendering Index), replicating the warm, authentic glow of candlelight without the fire risk.
- Precise Control: The fully mappable LEDs are radio-controlled, offering consistent light control across multiple takes. No more worries about fluctuating flames affecting continuity.
- Wireless and Portable: Battery-operated and wireless, the Candelair can be easily placed anywhere on set—no cables required. It’s quick to set up and fits seamlessly into your scene.
- Perfect for Any Set Design: The Candelair matches the size of a standard candle, fitting perfectly into candlestick holders and candelabras—whether you’re shooting a period drama or a contemporary scene. The model shown here is 240mm tall (including the 22mm flame) but we can customize sizes to suit your needs.
