Repairing, Recycling, and Environmental Considerations.

        One of the things that bothers me, is the amount of waste we produce, and our disposable, throw away culture. Because of that, there is a certain amount of environmental consciousness that has gone into several aspects of our products. One of the main things is in making the products easily user-repairable. When combined with availability of individual replacement parts, this dramatically extends the life of our products.         When was the last time you had a part of something you bought, break, where you didn’t have to replace the whole thing? When was the last time you could easily repair a product without special tools? What was the last product you had that

F.A.Q.

Will these lights melt? As long as you don’t close the barndoors on the lights while they are on, they should be able to handle any lighting situations. We have confirmed this through expensive long term testing, as well as with thermo camera information showing the heat the lightbulbs produce. What happens if I left the light on with the barn doors closed, will they melt? They will not melt, but they may get hot enough to hit the glass transition point of the PETG plastic. This means the barndoor may get soft and lose it’s perfectly flat form. What can I do if I warped my barndoor? If you want to fix it yourself, you can heat it up

What to know about buying a 3D Printed Light?

One of my biggest concerns when considering selling these lights, is that I didn’t know if people would trust buying a 3D printed plastic light. I had my own doubts about how robust they would be, and if they would hold up to the heat. But I didn’t originally design these lights for other people, so I had the freedom to just go for it and see if they worked. My original designs were printed in PLA which is the most popular 3D printing plastic, because it is one of the easiest to work with. Honestly I love PLA. In fact all of my original prototypes were printed in PLA, and I have a dozen of those prototypes which I

Mini Cine Light available for Pre-order soon!

CineTechGear is about to begin accepting Pre-Orders on our first commercially available lights, the Mini Cine Lights. These lights, were designed to be very small, functional, and versatile lights, which also look really cool. Heath Firestone designed these lights after being frustrated with how much power his Tungsten lights consumed, and wanted more portable light kits for flyaway kits. But when researching options, he found the options either too expensive, or too limiting. Additionally, he was looking to upgrade his personal studio to a setup which would consume less power and produce less heat. Having delved into 3D printing over the prior year or so, he decided to see if he could design something that actually met his needs. After
