What is SOFTLIGHTS and what does it offer?

SOFTLIGHTS is a maker of custom lighting tools for cinematographers and gaffers working in cinema and TV. Its site describes the company as building "special lighting for cinema and TV, wireless lighting and custom solutions," and notes a history that runs "from fluorescent to LED." If you are a director of photography, gaffer, or production looking for a specialized fixture rather than a mass-market light, SOFTLIGHTS is positioned as a custom-solutions supplier. Pricing is not published: the site says "contact us for details / price on request," so any budget figure has to come from a direct inquiry.

What SOFTLIGHTS makes

The company's stated focus is custom lighting tools, not a broad catalog of standard units. Two product directions appear on the site:

• Wireless lighting — fixtures and solutions built around wireless operation.
• Custom solutions — lighting tools tailored to a production's needs, which is consistent with a company that describes itself as "crafting custom lighting tools."

The site frames this work as long-running: "From fluorescent to LED, we have always been close to creative people and their needs." That suggests the company has moved with the industry's shift from fluorescent sources to LED while keeping a custom, collaboration-driven approach.

FLAME: the named product

FLAME is the product SOFTLIGHTS highlights, and the site describes it as usable as both a key-light and fill-light. That dual role matters on set: a fixture that can serve as key and then be dialed down or repositioned as fill reduces the number of units a gaffer needs to carry and rig.

Where FLAME has been used

The site lists specific productions and crew as evidence of real-world use:

A Vimeo link is also provided showing FLAME in use, credited to DOP Anders Bohman. For a gaffer evaluating the fixture, these credits are the main available signal about how FLAME behaves in narrative and TV production conditions.

How to get details and pricing

The site does not publish specifications, price lists, or a product configurator. Its call to action is "contact us for details / price on request," which means:

1. Identify the production or project you are lighting.
2. Reach out through the site's contact route.
3. Ask for details and a price quote for the specific configuration you need.

Because SOFTLIGHTS works on custom solutions, expect the conversation to cover your intended use — key, fill, or both — rather than a fixed off-the-shelf order.

Who this is for

SOFTLIGHTS fits you if you are a cinematographer or gaffer who needs a specialized or custom lighting tool and is willing to inquire directly rather than buy from a published catalog. It is a weaker fit if you need immediate online ordering, published specs, or transparent list pricing — none of those are offered on the site as described.
