The Frosted Glass Accessory Lens for the Arri M8 PAR enables the user to further soften the output of the M8's multi-faceted reflector, to spread the beam, and to remove specular highlights. In lessening shadow definition, the frosted lens expands creative options on set. The lens slips easily into the fixture's accessory brackets. The M8 has the same 245mm accessory diameter as the ARRI D12 fixture, so barndoors, scrims and softboxes can also be used.

Q: 1. It have ballast

A: Unfortunately, this is the lamp head only. The ballast for it would be the ARRI 575/800 High Speed Ballast with ALF and DMX for M8 B&H # ARBM8.

Q: 2. Will it work with B2 head?

A: Sort-of... It won't fit in the usual way as the cover glass on the B2 is not removable. However you can hold it in place in front of the B2 using the mounting ring of the OCF grid/gel holder. It's not the most secure mounting though - you'd need to be careful about bumping it off - or just add some gaffer tape to keep it in place. This solution does preclude use of the built-in umbrella holder on the B2.
