Demo · Proof of Concept

This is a demonstration tool for exploring battery-storage sizing for film & TV lighting rigs. It produces rough planning estimates only.

It is not a finished product and should not be used as the basis for real power planning, rental commitments, or on-set decisions. Manufacturer figures vary, inrush data is largely unpublished, and real loads must be confirmed with a qualified technician and a true-RMS power analyzer.

Strike inrush × per fixture type drives the surge requirement (worst single fixture). LED ≈1×; electronic HMI ballasts ~2× (older magnetic 4–8×); cold tungsten 10–15× for ~100 ms.
