About us
A Hollywood Tradition
CMC LIGHTING (cmc-lighting.com) revolutionized Hollywood Film Lighting for three generations and 45 years of tradition with the introduction of the award winning double ended 12/18 K HMI globe and the development of the 12/18K HMI Silver Bullet in 1976. Today CMC is the Industry Standard and remains the #1 selling 12/18 HMI Fresnel and 20/24 Studio Tungsten Fresnel fixtures in the world. Known as “The Big Guns” or “Silver Bullets” these fixtures are the brightest and most efficient lighting fixtures in their class. Both units share parts commonality and are built for the rigors of Location Shooting and high turnover rental usage. CMC is proud to manufacture all its products here in the USA including its patented pending “low noise” igniter systems which have the lowest failure rates in the industry.
