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.This ARRI 50' Head to Ballast Cable for ARRI 18/12Kw HMI Fresnel and ARRIMAX 18/12kW connects the ARRI 18/12Kw HMI Frensel and ARRIMAX 18/12kW PAR to its ballast.The ARRI EB MAX 12/18 Ballast is intended for use with select ARRI fresnel lamp heads. This ballast has ALF (Active Line Filter), which provides a higher power factor resulting in more efficient power use. This is accomplished by shifting the voltage and current waveforms in phase and minimizing harmonics and spikes. ALF also minimizes the current carried back on the neutral leg of the power systems. Cable Loss Compensation, which prevents power loss in head-to-ballast cables up to 300' long, is also featured. The ballast has a low-noise switch and a power factor of 0.99.





This ballast has substantial DMX control. In addition to On/Off and dimming, both operation mode and frequency can be controlled remotely. For ease of use, indicators on the ballast's front panel display the lamp wattage, DMX channel, operation mode, and selected lamp frequency. High speed shooters will appreciate features such as Active Line Filter (ALF), and AutoScan, ensuring optimum light and image quality for high-speed recordings up to 1000 fps.Same as the Gel Frame Holder. Used to mount Color/Gel Frame in place in front of the light.
