Lee Cha Hoon — Lighting Designer & Founder
From lighting design to live execution.
We own and operate grandMA consoles and European fixtures, so what we design is what gets built. APEX LITE is run directly by Lee Cha Hoon, a designer who came up as a venue lighting director and has lit some 300 productions — including concert-scene lighting for Netflix's "XO, Kitty", a 2019 Japan tour, and repertory stages such as the National Theater of Korea and Seoul Arts Center. From design to equipment to on-site operation, lighting, staging, audio and truss are handled by one team.
