supporting the development of the next generation
of lighting system and camera platform innovation.

Revolution, a lighting and camera
system manufacturer for the lm,
photography and photogrammetry
industry, with the support of
mechatronic drive motor specialist
Electro Mechanical Systems Ltd (EMS),
has taken the concept of painting with
light straight into the 21st century.
Developed by founder Patrick
Llewelyn-Davies, Light Revolution
provides creative lighting systems
for the lm, photography and
photogrammetry industry that
use long exposure techniques
to manipulate lighting in product

comprises 15 main
components and takes
just minutes to assemble,
meaning that innovative
and eye-catching images
painting with light and brought it
straight into the modern era,” says
Llewelyn-Davies. “The central hub
of the base system rotates the arms
and delivers power to the lights. The
system also comprises of two
arms with pylons to attach the
lights and adjustable legs, which
support the hub. There is a
separate support assembly
complete with a 1000mm
diameter circular tabletop
for the object in question
to be placed ready for
capturing.
“We have developed
a precision engineered
system that uses high-quality
components to ensure a
smooth and seamless experience
for the user — and one that captures
the most wonderful images possible,”
adds Llewelyn-Davies.
When developing the system,
Llewelyn-Davies recognised the
need for high-quality motors, which
