Hollywood movies, especially those of the Thriller and Action Genre are always full of the following: guns, car chases, explosions, and special effects. But behind the lens of the movie camera, it's always about light as without light, nothing can be captured by the camera. Surefire products have been much in use in movie productions within and behind the scenes.

The thing I can recall is that Surefire really made working with Hollywood a fantastic collaboration that really took off with the laser light used by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 80s hit "Terminator." But as in any big budget Hollywood action or thriller film Surefire is a mainstay, and the company does not have to pay for that product placement in the movies like what other companies. So apart from the usual, Colts, Kalashnikovs, Berettas, Heckler & Kochs, Glocks, Remingtons, and FNHs that are used in the movies as props, Surefire lights will not be far behind, making it the most visible lighting solution in movies.

Here is one customer testimonial about Surefire products used behind the scenes as posted at the Surefire website:

As a camera assistant on motion pictures, television shows, and commercials, I handle very intricate and small parts, often colored black, every day. Though a movie set is full of light, where cameras are placed is never bright, and we camera crew need flashlights all day long.

Threading film precisely inside film cameras and checking for dust and foreign objects is one of the main tasks of a camera assistant. When an assistant director says to check the gate after a take, it is the camera assistant's job to check the gate area of the camera for any foreign objects that might show up on the film. Upon our approval, we move on to the next camera set-ups. This process requires a good, dependable flashlight, as we have to inspect a very small film gate very thoroughly. SureFire flashlights are the camera crew's choice and have been for years. We use them every day, and SureFire never fails us. They're bright, robust, durable, and feature long- lasting bulbs, at affordable prices.

We camera crew guys consider SureFire one of our best investments.

I don't know about the affordable prices as sometimes I find Surefire to be expensive, but as to durability, reliability and luminosity, I have no question that Surefire is always a top choice for many professionals, including Hollywood actors and actresses.
