It makes sense that as LED film lights become more powerful, battery technology needs to keep pace.  That is why, when we saw the Wattman 10kwh Powerbank, our eyes lit up!

PESS have created a mobile and renewable energy source in the form of a power bank. It can power 230v lights anywhere and can be recharged either from any household source, or via solar panel! That’s so much greener than filling up a generator with diesel.

PESS are using imaginative ways to develop alternatives to fuel-based generators. That’s something we can get behind!

Running 6kw at continuous power with a 10.2kwh battery capacity, the Wattman can run an Airlite 1000w on full power for 9 hours! You can recharge it to 90% in less than 4 hours.

We’re all familiar with fuel-based generators that are used to power lights on set. They’re noisy, they smell and worst of all, they emit a load of carbon particles into the air. By contrast the Wattman 10kwh Powerbank doesn’t produce any toxic fumes and emits 5 times less CO2 than a standard generator over 5 years!

Overall, we believe that the Wattman is further proof that the film industry is heading in a greener direction, which is something we are very excited about.
