CONTENT TRAINING, RENTAL & SALES PRODUCTION
Painting with Light is a team of professional lighting and multimedia experts, located in Belgium, and working internationally. We DESIGN and PRODUCE visual experiences that dazzle & shine. We tell stories by combining light, video, scenic & architectural elements, sound and special effects. Our ambition is to create emotions - giving audiences an unforgettable experience.
Design
The beginning of every successful production.
Lighting Design
Without Light, there is no atmosphere, no feeling, no experience. Both lighting and video can have a great influence on audience experience. Changing the look and feel of an object, a stage, a room, space or environment is a matter of choosing the right lighting - allowing the creation of different emotions.
We are known for our fresh and vibrant lighting designs for television, theaters, theme parks, architectural settings and many more scenarios.
Video Design
Video is an integral part of any set or stage. We help you choose the right medium for displaying any content, from small-scale video screens to monumental facade projections. Painting with Light has immense knowledge of the latest technologies and is anenthusiastic early adopter of new video hardware and software technologies.
Stage and Set Design
By integrating stage and set design into our portfolio of services, we are complementing lighting and video design, to ensure continuity throughout all the different visual elements. We work in close partnership with a number of scenic and ‘soft goods’ manufacturers.
Concept Development
First, there is always a thought - an idea. Transforming an idea into a concept requires imagination and creative experience, and we can help grow your ideas into dreams where only the sky is the limit! Leave the translation from dream to a unique concept to us - it’s our profession.
Custom Design
Expect the unexpected from our Custom Designs! We’ll use our technological knowledge, ingenuity and sense of fun … and implement it where least expected. This could be a unique solution for your project! Some creative custom solutions that we have designed are: LED skates and costumes for Holiday on Ice; the Genker Ster custom Christmas light fixture; interactive eyes for live performances by Belgian superheroes ROX, Comics Station pencil lighting, …
Visualization
A picture paints a thousand words.
Show Visualization
What you see is what you get. Imagine being able to see what your project will look like during the design process. That’s what Show Visualization is all about. We bring ideas, technical drawings or sketches to life, allowing you to take a virtual 3D tour through your show. This assists decision-making and is infinitely useful in selling your ideas to stakeholders and dazzling the audience!
Pre-Programming
There are only advantages to pre-programming! Lighting and video cues can be prepared in advance, minimizing our time on site, saving on precious venue rental costs and maybe most importantly: some more time to sleep! We do everything from our own pre-programming wysiwyg and d3 studio in Genk, Belgium, which is also open to external designers, directors, producers and programmers.

Architectural Visualization
Imagine a building as a blank canvas with endless creative possibilities. We offer photorealistic visualizations of architectural designs, ideal for internal and external pitches. We can illustrate the potential look and atmosphere of your venue, theme park or monument. Presenting your ideas has never been this easy.
Virtual & Augmented Reality
Picture yourself literally walking through your ideas or concept. This comes true with our virtual & augmented reality visualization solutions. We have been using VR as a professional tool for several years, convincing clients and investors of how ideas can work.
Content
One step beyond: from design to creating media content.
Special Video Applications Projection Mapping on every object, hologram technology & interactive video content applications, augmented reality applications and real-time tracking have become an affordable reality!
For years, we have been early adopters in this exciting domain, developing in-house expertise to present show-stopping solutions.
Video Content
We are also producers of video content. Our creative and technical experts collaborate to ensure the best solutions in line with your brand, product or scene.

Production
Time to substantiate and produce!
Project Management
Letting us take care of your entire project as a full service is an option we highly recommend. It unites our many synergies, and we handle everything, starting with assembling the right team to the final technical execution.
Design & Build
If you are ready to outsource the build of your project, then entrusting it to the person who designed it is a strategy that reduces precious preproduction time. Painting with Light can act as a contractor, in a full service model.
Lighting & Media Programmers & Operators
Our Programmers and Operators are fully integrated into our production teams, working together with the creative designer and helping to implement the technological elements of the production.
Technical Planning & Engineering
We’re here to make life easier for you. By harmonizing the creative and technical sides of a production early on, we save time and money. Our CAD services are indispensable in the production process, making sure that creative dreams match up with technical reality.
Show control & system integration
The last step is to connect it all up. We combine lighting, video, media, scenic elements, automation and audio, implementing the right software and hardware, providing dedicated professional expertise to make the magic happen!
Rental, Sales & Training Knowledge and solution sharing is caring. Rental
A craftsperson’s tools are their prized possession. For years, we’ve worked on all kinds of productions, testing a diversity of tools, and a selection of our most advanced and powerful hardware and software is available for you to rent. Discover them here:

Sales
Over the years we have tested and used a selection of products and solutions for which we are now a reseller:
Gantom
Painting with Light is an exclusive distributor of the Gantom lighting fixtures in Belgium. This special-effects lighting equipment is perfect for the themed attraction industry and specialized in the illumination of low-light and space-constrained environments - where traditional theatrical luminaires aren’t suitable. Gantom fixtures have become a “secret weapon” of many lighting designers and industry experts, and have been installed in venues worldwide including theme parks, museums, bars, clubs, casinos and haunted house attractions.
Wysiwyg
We are an official dealer of CAST software’s WYSIWYG and Vivien solutions. These professional tools are popular for previsualization and lighting design, and are an invaluable asset for all. Follow us for news on future training sessions or email us at info@paintingwithlight.com for a price quote!
BlackTrax
A technology that we frequently use for creative productions is BlackTrax real-time tracking software. This system allows objects and people to be tracked on stage by designated lighting and video fixtures with high precision. Apart from unique concept possibilities, BlackTrax can also reduce production costs and enables lighting instruments to be placed in locations that would be inaccessible when using an operator.
LED Wristband
A main goal for live artists is to interact with their audience, heightening emotions and giving them a real night to remember. Guarantee achieving this by using our LED Wristbands! These nifty pieces of technology can be wirelessly controlled to change color according to a number of parameters like the beat of the music or the atmosphere.
