Portable Power Solutions

Here is how the picture comes together. We give portable power solutions for shoots across Belgium, from quiet inverter power packs and large block power packs to battery systems and distribution boards. Our power crews — power packs operators and electricians — size the supply to the lighting and camera load, plan cable runs and distribution, and manage fuel and refuelling logistics across a shoot day. Belgium's variety of locations creates a range of power needs: the forested Ardennes. The North Sea coast often have no convenient mains supply, while heritage interiors in Bruges, Ghent and Brussels may have tight or fragile electrical systems that cannot carry a full lighting rig. Battery and silent-power packs solutions are valuable on noise-sensitive drama and documentary shoots. Our teams plan a power scheme that keeps the set quiet and safe. We set up power with the lighting and grip departments so distribution, dimming and cable management are all part of one plan.

Here is what we have to work with. Power planning in Belgium also has to account for rules and access. Filming in heritage city cores such as the UNESCO-listed Grand-Place or the Historic Centre of Bruges needs city and regional permits. Placing power packs or running cable in public space is part of those approvals — our coordinators manage them alongside the lighting plan. Power packs noise and emissions are increasingly regulated in urban areas. This makes quiet, modern and battery-hybrid units the practical choice for street and interior work.

Here is how that works. Belgium's mild but frequently wet maritime climate means power gear on exterior locations needs proper weather protection and safe earthing. Our crews plan for that on each outdoor shoot. The country's deep service-production sector, supported by the Belgian Tax Shelter, means skilled power technicians and well-kept rental inventory are ready, and we scale the package from a single inverter to a full power packs and distribution setup.
