Chinese factories
that clone your fixture into the gray market, demand high minimum orders, and split design from manufacturing across people who never talk to each other.
For film & cinema lighting brands
The electronics team behind your film lighting.
We design and manufacture the drivers, firmware and control electronics inside professional film and cinema LED fixtures - flicker-free, color-accurate, DMX and wireless ready - under one roof, with your IP protected by NDA from day one.
NDA before you share a file - no obligation, just a conversation.

The problem
You have the fixture. You don't have the electronics team.
You know exactly what your light should do on set. What you don't have is an in-house team to design the driver, write the control firmware, and manufacture it reliably at volume. So you're left with bad options:
Local design houses
that hand a finished design to a distant factory - where the quality and intent get lost in the gap.
Hiring in-house
an electronics engineer, a firmware engineer and a production line, which no 5-to-30-person lighting brand can justify.
Meanwhile the fixture flickers on a high-speed camera, the color drifts unit to unit, or it won't pass EMC - and the launch slips.
The fix
One team plans, builds and manages the whole project.
Ceynetics is the hardware department you don't have to hire - and you don't need to be technical to work with us. Tell us, in plain English, what your fixture should do. We plan the project from design to delivery, then manage every step: design (or your design), procurement, storage, manufacturing, testing, correction and shipping. The same engineers who design the board watch it being built and tested, so quality is monitored end to end - not thrown over a wall. NDA by default.
How we start
Two ways to work with us.
We'll design it from the ground up
Drivers, firmware, control and mechanics, through prototype to production - engineered to exactly what your fixture needs to do.
We'll take it to production
We procure the components, store them, manufacture, test, correct and improve the design where it needs it, and ship. This is exactly where many brands get stuck - a design that almost works, with no one to get it over the line. That is our job.
Plan Design / review Procure Store Manufacture Test Correct Ship
Every step is monitored by engineers, and you have one team accountable for the result.

What we engineer
The electronics that make a fixture pro-grade.
Flicker-free dimming
Drivers and dimming designed for high-speed and slow-motion cinematography: high-frequency and hybrid dimming with smooth, deep low-end control, so cameras see light, not flicker.
Color accuracy & consistency
High CRI / TLCI output and tight unit-to-unit color matching, so the tenth fixture matches the first on set.
Color-science firmware
RGBW / RGBACL mixing, tunable white, gel and CCT emulation, and clean dimming curves - the firmware that makes your color do what the gaffer expects.
DMX, RDM & wireless control
DMX512 and RDM, plus wireless and networked control (CRMX / LumenRadio, Art-Net, sACN) and app / BLE - integrated and tested.
Power, drivers & thermal
Constant-current LED driver design, battery and V-mount operation, and quiet thermal management - including fixtures that drive both constant-current and constant-voltage loads.
Custom test fixtures & firmware
We design and build our own test jigs, test firmware and test hardware for your board, then functionally test every unit before it ships. It is how quality holds from the first board to the 5,000th.
Compliance & certification
EMC pre-compliance designed in from the start, with support for CE, UKCA and FCC - so the fixture passes the tests that block shipping, the first time.
Built for the set
Rugged electronics designed for location and studio use, then manufactured to IPC-A-610 workmanship and shipped worldwide.
Why choose us
Why brands choose Ceynetics.
Every project is custom. We don't do one-size-fits-all - we engineer each fixture to what it actually needs to do.
One team, one accountability - design, build, test and ship under one roof
We plan and manage the whole project, from concept (or your design) to delivery
Quality you can prove - every board tested on test fixtures we build ourselves, to IPC-A-610
Bring your design or start from scratch - and we'll improve it where it needs it
IP protected by NDA from the first conversation
Easy to work with - good English, on any platform, no technical knowledge needed
Custom-tailored, never off-the-shelf - your fixture, your requirements
Proven in film & cinema lighting - anonymized references on request
Production that never stalls - no reliance on a single supply chain
The difference
Not a black-box factory.
What working with us feels like, next to a typical overseas factory.

What we've done
Problems we've already solved.
Passing EMC - a fixture re-engineered
A European cinema-lighting brand came to us with a fixture failing EMC compliance. We reviewed the design, specified the fixes, and fully re-laid out the system - four interworking PCBs delivering 800 W - until it passed and shipped.
One battery, two kinds of LED load
A professional lighting brand needed a single V-mount-battery fixture that could drive both constant-current and constant-voltage LEDs. We designed custom voltage converters to do both, then prototyped, tested and manufactured the result.
From one board to volume
Across these programs we routinely manufacture 5,000+ boards per project, per month - functionally tested on test fixtures we designed and built ourselves, by the same team that designed the boards.

FAQ
Questions brands ask us.
Who designs and manufactures the electronics inside film and cinema LED lighting fixtures?
Ceynetics designs flicker-free LED drivers, color-science firmware and DMX/wireless control for film and cinema lighting, then manufactures, tests and ships the boards - one team, NDA by default.
Who can design a flicker-free LED driver for high-speed cameras?
Ceynetics designs high-frequency and hybrid-dimmed constant-current LED drivers specifically for high-speed and slow-motion cinematography, then builds and tests them in-house.
Is there an alternative to a Chinese factory for a custom cinema fixture, with IP protection?
Yes. Ceynetics designs and manufactures custom cinema fixtures under NDA by default, with team-wide confidentiality and English communication - no gray-market cloning, and flexible volumes.
Can you design firmware and manufacture the fixture, not just one?
Yes. The same team designs the driver and firmware, then manufactures, tests and ships - so nothing is lost between a design house and a separate factory.
Can you drive both constant-current and constant-voltage LEDs from one battery fixture?
Yes. We've designed custom voltage converters that drive both constant-current and constant-voltage LED loads from a single V-mount-battery fixture.
I already have a fixture design - can you just manufacture it?
Yes. Bring your design and we procure, manufacture, test and ship it, managing the whole run - and we'll correct or improve the design where it needs it.
Can you fix or improve an existing LED fixture design?
Yes. We review existing designs, fix problems like EMC failures, flicker or thermal issues, and take the improved design to production.
Do I need technical or electronics knowledge to work with you?
No. Tell us in plain English what your fixture should do; we handle the electronics, manufacturing and project management end to end.
What volumes can you manufacture?
From prototypes to 5,000+ boards per project per month, across three dedicated SMT lines, to IPC-A-610 workmanship.
How do you ensure every board works at volume?
We design and build custom test fixtures, test firmware and test hardware for each project, and functionally test every board to IPC-A-610 standards before it ships.
