Motorized Lighting Solutions for theater and film

LiteMover is a specialist manufacturer of motorized devices for remotely controlling professional film and theater lighting fixtures. Their flagship product, the LiteMover, enables precise pan and tilt adjustments of spotlights and film lamps mounted on stands, trusses, or cranes.

By eliminating the need for manual repositioning, LiteMover allows lighting designers and technicians to adjust fixtures remotely and seamlessly integrates with DMX, CRMX, and RDM workflows. This makes it an essential tool for the demanding environments of film production, live theater, and stage performances.

The challenge: Reliable and lightweight drive technology

In the entertainment industry, lighting solutions must combine precision, reliability, and speed. LiteMover set out to design a system that could deliver all three, but they faced several challenges:

• High precision for accurate pan/tilt adjustments.

• Lightweight construction to avoid overloading stands or trusses.

• Robustness to withstand intensive on-set and stage use.

• Smooth, quiet operation to avoid noise during live performances or filming.

• Easy integration with DMX, CRMX, and RDM control systems.

Existing motorized solutions on the market were often bulky, noisy, or required modifications to the lighting fixture — compromises LiteMover wanted to avoid.

The Solution: Easy E-35 Linear Inline Actuator

To meet these requirements, LiteMover selected BIBUS BV’s Easy E-35 linear inline actuator as the drive system inside their LiteMover device. This actuator was chosen for its unique combination of compact design, precision, and reliability.

With the Easy E-35 actuator, LiteMover achieved:

• Precise positioning of film lamps, even at long distances.

• Lightweight and compact design, enabling use on both trusses and portable stands.

• Reliable, long-lasting performance under continuous operation.

• Quiet actuation, ensuring no interference with performances or sound recordings.

• Seamless integration with LiteMover’s DMX/CRMX control architecture.

Results: Efficiency, Safety, and Flexibility

The integration of the Easy E-35 actuator provided LiteMover and their customers with measurable benefits:

• Increased efficiency – Lighting technicians can now adjust fixtures remotely within seconds.

• Improved safety – No need for crew to climb cranes, trusses, or ladders for repositioning.

• Enhanced flexibility – LiteMover supports a wide range of light fixtures without requiring modifications.

• Competitive advantage – Thanks to BIBUS BV actuator technology, LiteMover delivers a cost-effective alternative to larger and more complex motorized systems in the market.
