SourceMaker has over 10 years of experience as master custom Lighting Balloon-makers. Our manufacturing department continues to innovate and break ground (or sky). We get calls from Gaffers all the time asking for very specific options. With one week’s notice (preferably two) we can build, test and deliver a custom Lighting Balloon based on a Gaffer’s custom size, output and height specifications.

SourceMaker manufactures all of our products in the United States, and only uses the finest materials made right here in the USA! Our design team is always thinking on the user-side and developing new ways to make our Lighting Balloons faster to set up, easier to rig and easier to manage.

When things slow down, we speed up. SourceMaker is ready.
