Rainbow Lighting invests in Astera

Cape Town, South Africa-based Rainbow Lighting was started by freelance gaffer Desmond Gqitekaya in 2020. At the time, he was working mostly on major movies and feature films being shot in South Africa and also started picking up commercials and music video work through his contacts. In 2022, he purchased Astera Helios Tubes, followed by Titan Tubes, HydraPanels and NYX Bulbs.

Gqitekaya was first inspired to look at the wireless LED brand after seeing other film lighting professionals using them on set and in the studio. “The wireless functionality and Astera’s app-based control can make things fast and adaptable”, he notes, “and they have been a game-changer for my business.”

He adds that the ability to run the Astera units wired if desired is a bonus, especially for some scenarios and when the unit is working longer days “I will be using only Astera going forward”, he announces. Gqitekaya is looking forward to using his latest purchase - a PlutoFresnel - as soon as it’s delivered by SA distributor DWR Distribution.
