The Vitec Group has signed an agreement to acquire Litepanels, manufacturers of LED lighting systems for the television, broadcast, video and film industries

Once completed, Litepanels will join other Vitec brands such as Sachtler, Vinten, Vinten Radamec, Autoscript, Anton/Bauer, Clear-Com and Nucomm. Litepanels manufactures award-winning LED lighting products and are a complementary addition to Vitec's other activities.
Litepanels has developed an innovative range of LED on-camera and stand-mounted lighting systems, which have gained broad acceptance with lighting and broadcast professionals. Backed by a strong patent portfolio, today the company is known as a leader in the media lighting industry.

The products created by Litepanels, which have won various awards, are used both on-location and in studio environments, including installations at the White House press briefing room. Litepanels' LED lights are beneficial due to their low power consumption and low heat generation as compared to traditional light sources. The trend toward LED lighting is expected to continue to grow rapidly as lighting directors convert to this technology.

Based in North Hollywood, California, Litepanels was founded in 2005 by five partners with extensive experience as lighting designers or lighting directors. All will continue with the company after the acquisition.

According to Litepanels President Rudy Pohlert, "We are certain that our new association with the forward-thinking Vitec Group will help bring the widespread benefits of our inventive lighting systems to the broadcast and video community worldwide.
