ARRI M8 HMI 2.5/4K Kit with Ballast Overview

This ARRI M8 HMI 2.5/4K Kit with Ballast is an advanced lighting solution designed for professional productions that require a high level of light output for demanding situations like punching through silks or bouncing light off reflective surfaces. Here?s what?s included and the key features

ARRI M8 HMI Lamp Head Small and Lightweight The M8 is the most compact fixture in ARRI?s M-Series, making it highly portable and versatile. MAX Technology Combines the characteristics of both Fresnel and PAR lights without the need for interchangeable lenses. High Output Despite its small size, the M8 delivers light output comparable to a 1000W or 1200W tungsten fixture. Focusing Range The beam can be focused from 15? to 62?, allowing for a versatile range of lighting options. Weather Resistant The IP23 rating ensures the fixture can withstand certain weather conditions, making it ideal for outdoor shoots. Cross Cooling System Keeps the electronics and lamp housing separate, allowing safe operation even when the head is tilted up to 90?. Robust Tilt Lock Ensures secure attachment of heavy accessories, preventing unwanted movement during use. ARRI 575/800 High Speed Ballast Dual Wattage Supports 575W and 800W lamps, automatically detecting the connected luminaire. High-Speed Filming Capability The ballast?s 1000 Hz mode allows for flicker-free high-speed shooting, crucial for sports events, industrial applications, and other high-frame-rate filming needs. Active Line Filter (ALF) Increases power efficiency by minimizing harmonics and spikes, reducing the load on the power system?s neutral leg. Compensation of Cable Loss (CCL) Compensates for power loss over long cable runs, ensuring consistent light output. DMX Control Enables remote on/off and dimming (50%-100%) control, with easy-to-read settings displayed on a luminous display. Cooling System Features both fan and convection cooling, with a low noise mode for quiet operation on set. Durable Construction Housed in robust aluminum alloy casting with additional edge protection for long-term use. ARRI Head-to-Ballast Cable (50′) Compatibility Designed for use with 575W, 1200W, and 1800W heads, including various ARRI models like ARRISUN, ARRIMAX, and ARRI X series. Length Provides 50 feet (15.2 meters) of flexible distance between the head and the ballast, ideal for versatile setups. ARRI 4-Leaf Barndoor Set Heat Resistant Designed to withstand the heat generated by powerful HMI fixtures. Adjustable Allows for precise shaping of the light beam to prevent spill and to focus the light exactly where needed. In the Box ARRI M8 HMI Lamp Head Comes with a 5-year limited warranty. ARRI 575/800 High Speed Ballast with ALF and DMX 1-year limited warranty. ARRI Head-to-Ballast Cable (50′) 1-year limited warranty. ARRI 4-Leaf Barndoor Set 1-year limited warranty.
