The Daylight range of studio Fresnels using Double-Ended HMI daylight lamps has been the mainstay of the film industry for many years. Arri HMI Spotlights have the largest lenses in their class and extremely even light distribution.

When fitted with an 18K HMI bulb (available separately), this HMI Fresnel will turn night into day with 1446 footcandles 13 feet in diameter, from a distance of 66 feet @ full spot.
It will throw 167 footcandles 101 feet in diameter from the same distance, @ full flood.

The recommended, optional 12-18K electronic ballast is flicker-free, and may be used with studio/theater DMX-50 capable control boards and dimmers. It has a compact design which offers easy handling in the field. Safety circuits such as over-voltage, over-temperature and short-circuit protection give safe and reliable operation.

Constructed of ribbed aluminum allowing lower operating temperatures and extending bulb life.

A barndoor set and filter frame are available separately to control the shape and color of the output of the fixture.
