Lighting Gear Cases and Bags

Transport bags and cases for lights protect your equipment during handling and storage. When choosing one, compare its internal dimensions and shape with the fixture so that the equipment does not move around unnecessarily. Consider the number of lights being carried, the space needed for accessories and how the load will be handled. Choose the material and construction according to whether you mainly need protection from dust and moisture in storage or firmer protection during frequent transport.

Soft bag or hard case for lights?

• Soft bag: easy to carry and takes up less room once unloaded.
• Hard case: better suited to equipment that is frequently loaded, unloaded or transported with other gear.

In both cases, check the handles, closures and internal layout; separate compartments in a multi-light case help to limit contact between the fixtures.

Practical protection for your lighting equipment

Choose the bag or case to fit the fixture, not just by its external appearance. If you are building or expanding a complete rig, see our lighting accessories as well; for a broader overview, visit the lighting category.
