Underwater Lighting
Submersible lighting for your Chinese underwater production.
Underwater lighting requires specialized waterproof fixtures to illuminate subjects beneath the surface. China's coastlines on the South China, East China, and Yellow Seas—from tropical Hainan to coastal Qingdao and Xiamen—offer varied conditions, while purpose-built water tanks at Hengdian, Qingdao, and Shanghai studios support controlled subaquatic work for feature productions.
We supply professional submersible lighting systems and qualified dive crews across Beijing, Shanghai, Hengdian, Qingdao, and Yunnan. Our team coordinates dive-rated LED and HMI fixtures, battery systems, and experienced underwater gaffers to ensure your subaquatic sequences are properly exposed and visually consistent with your production's photographic plan.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What underwater lighting options do you offer?
We offer LED and HMI submersible lights rated for various depths, suitable for tropical Hainan reef shoots, Qingdao coastal work, and the large water tank stages at Hengdian and Qingdao studios. LED units run cool; HMI delivers powerful daylight-balanced output.
How deep can you light underwater?
Our equipment is rated for various depths—many units to 100m or more. Depth requirements depend on the specific production needs, and we select appropriate equipment accordingly.
Do you provide dive-qualified lighting technicians?
Yes, our underwater lighting technicians are qualified divers who understand both lighting craft and diving safety. They can operate lights underwater while maintaining proper dive protocols.
What about color temperature underwater?
Water absorbs red light quickly with depth. We use daylight-balanced lights and can add filters to compensate. Color correction is easier with proper lighting than trying to fix in post.
Can you light large underwater areas?
Yes, we can deploy multiple units for large-scale underwater lighting setups. This requires careful planning for power, positioning, and safety but enables dramatic underwater scenes.
What Chinese waters do you work in?
We work along the Hainan tropical coast, Qingdao and Xiamen on the eastern seas, and inland lakes and rivers. For controlled work we operate in the major water tank stages at Hengdian and Qingdao studios.
