The first Kino Flo (professional LED-based lighting equipment) unit was created in 1987, during the filming of this movie. Director of photography Robby Müller was filming in a cramped interior and couldn't fit traditional lights into the location. In order to work around the problem, the film's gaffer Frieder Hocheim and best boy Gary H. Swink designed a high-output fluorescent light that had a remote ballast, allowing the lamp unit to be sufficiently small and lightweight to be taped to the wall. Hochheim and Swink subsequently created a company, Kino Flo Incorporated, to manufacture and market their innovation to the film industry. The new lights were quickly embraced by cinematographers and now are considered a staple of a standard motion picture lighting package.
