Chris Chisnall, ITV's highly experienced Head of Lighting (Coronation Street) recently gave Rotolight a glowing report of the new Rotolight ANOVA V2 EcoFlood LED Floodlight, now used extensively on set! Find out more:

ITV's Coronation Street is the world's longest running Soap Opera and winner of over 10 BAFTA's. The soap is set on the streets of Manchester, UK and based at the new purpose built studio in Manchester's high-tech Media Centre. Chris Chisnall, head of lighting at ITV for the past 11 years, searches high and low for the best lighting products in the industry to make sure the long-running soap produces the best results in-keeping with it's illustrious history. Chris recently purchased several of the new revolutionary Rotolight ANOVA Bi-Colour V2 110 LED Floodlight for use on set of Coronation Street, and he was not disappointed!

What a fantastic piece of kit! I have to say I've fallen in love with these lights .

The Rotolight ANOVA Bi-Colour V2 EcoFlood range is available in 6 different flavours including the latest Bi-Colour V2 (electronically adjustable from 3150K to 6300K) and the ANOVA SOLO Single Colour Flood lights available in 5600K (Daylight) or 3200K (Tungsten). The complete range of new ANOVA products is available in either UltraWide' 110 degree beam angle for a beautiful soft fill light' or Standard' 50 Degree beam angle as a key light' with greater straight line output.

I found it [the Rotolight Bi Colour 110 Degree] to be extremely useful on the floor as a flexible fill alternative to Chimera with Arri 300/500 s . The Rotolight Anova's really speed up shooting for us and have become the fill lights of choice

Chris Chisnall provided a further insight into how lighting of the highly rated soap is setup: Coronation Street is purposely lit to look warm with 1/4 CTO on all back three quarter keys apart from the window side which I keep at 3200K+1/8 CTB or cooler. As you can imagine our turnaround is very quick between scenes and the Anova's play their part superbly as a fill source. Quick to place around cameras, the Bi-Colour Anova's make balancing easy being able to match the prevailing colour temperature perfectly without having to resort to a selection of gels. In addition the ability to run off batteries, even in studio, make them a dream for fast rigging in awkward areas of the set where we would usually have to hide cables. These lights really speed up shooting for us and have become the fill lights of choice in the Rovers

The new ANOVA V2 Range is in stock and available to purchase now from our online shop or via your local dealer
