Rolatube at Light26: Exploring Portable Lighting Partnerships

The Rolatube team will be at Light26 on the 18th and 19th of November at the Business Design Centre in London, picking up conversations with lighting designers, manufacturers, and specifiers about where Rolatube’s Bi-stable Reeled Composite (BRC) technology could feed into the next generation of portable lighting products.

Where BRC Meets Lighting

BRC is a composite that stores as a compact roll and forms a rigid, load-bearing tube when deployed. Rolatube already uses it to carry conventional lighting fixtures on portable masts for film and industrial crews. The material also allows LED arrays and electrical conductors to be embedded directly within the composite itself, which turns the mast and the lighting fixture into a single integrated system.

That capability has been demonstrated in prototype form with the Rolalight system, trialled recently on an overnight film shoot. Rolatube is now actively seeking OEM partners to help take Rolalight-style products into production, pairing partner expertise in LED systems, power management, and lighting controls with the structural and integration capabilities of BRC.

Meet at the Business Design Centre

Light26 runs on the 18th and 19th of November at the Business Design Centre in London. If you are a lighting designer, specifier, manufacturer, or potential OEM partner interested in BRC-based lighting products, get in touch to arrange a meeting at the show.
