ARRI L0.0006581 M40 HS System with 2.5/4K MAX Electronic Ballast ALF, DMX, AutoScan

The ARRI M40 HMI 2.5/4kW Kit with Ballast is a powerful lighting solution ideal for professional film and video productions that require high-output lighting. Below is an overview of the key features and components of this kit

ARRI M40

• ARRI M40 HMI Head

 

• Versatile LightingCapable of being fitted with either a 2,500W or 4,000W single-ended HMI lamp, making it a highly adaptable fixture for various lighting needs.MAX TechnologyUtilizes lensless MAX technology that combines the characteristics of a Fresnel and PAR light source, providing a focus range of 18 – 52? with sharp shadows and an even beam.High EfficiencyOffers approximately 30% more brightness than its predecessor, the ARRISUN 40/25, while maintaining a consistent beam quality.Cross Cooling SystemEnsures safe operation even at extreme tilt angles, prolonging the lifespan of the lamp and electronics by separating the lamp housing from the electronics housing.DurabilityBuilt with a robust, tubular steel yoke and equipped with disc brakes for secure tilting and accessory management. It is also IP23-rated for weather resistance, allowing for use in outdoor conditions.CompatibilityCompatible with existing ARRISUN 40/25 accessories, providing cost-saving benefits by allowing reuse of existing gear.ARRI Head-to-Ballast Cable – 50′ (15.2m)

 

• CompatibilityA 50-foot cable that connects the ARRI M40 head to its ballast, compatible with other ARRI HMI lights like the Compact HMI 2.5K, 4K, and ARRISUN & ARRI-X 40/25.ARRI EB MAX 2.5/4kW High-Speed Electronic Ballast

 

• Advanced FeaturesDesigned to power the ARRI True Blue, M-Series, and Compact/Theater lamp heads, this ballast supports AutoScan, AFL, CCL, and DMX control. It can operate at frequencies up to 1200 Hz, making it suitable for high-speed filming.DMX ControlProvides remote control over dimming (50-100%), on/off functions, and frequency adjustments through DMX, allowing for seamless integration into lighting setups.Active Line Filter (ALF) and Compensation of Cable Losses (CCL)Ensures consistent light quality and power levels even with long cable runs.Durability and MaintenanceFeatures a low-frequency setting for minimizing noise and includes an array of LED status indicators for quick reference.ARRI 4-Leaf Barndoors

 

• Light ControlDesigned for use with the True Blue D40/ST5, M-Series M40, and Compact 4000 Fresnels, these barndoors allow precise control over light spill and direction. They are heat resistant and can be rotated for flexibility in shaping light.Additional Details

 

Not IncludedThe kit does not include the essential 2,500W or 4,000W HMI lamps, which need to be purchased separately.WarrantyThe M40 head, cable, and barndoors come with a 1-year limited warranty, while the EB MAX ballast is backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
• This kit is particularly suited for productions that require substantial light output, such as when lighting large areas, bouncing light off reflective surfaces, or punching light through diffusion materials. The combination of the M40 head with the advanced EB MAX ballast provides filmmakers with a powerful, flexible, and reliable lighting setup.
