DV Dailies - ARRI To Ship New Cooler, Ceramic Based Lights
by Mike Washlesky, 11:00 AM CDT, October 8th, 2004
The ARRI Group, makers of professional lighting and camera equipment, have announced the upcoming release of a new line of lamps called the ARRI X Ceramic 250 series. The ARRI X Ceramic 250 features the discharge output of a 1K light with the power consumption of a 250W and cooler running temps for more comfortable sets. According to The ARRI Group:
The ARRI X Ceramic employs the new Ceramic ST 250 HR discharge lamp from Philips, which produces a 3200K tungsten quality light.
This new lamp from Philips provides almost the same light output as a 1K halogen lamp, yet consumes just a quarter of its power. Besides considerable cost savings due to the low power consumption (250W) the fixture dissipates significantly less heat than a halogen fixture, making it a "cool" unit which can be touched with bare hands even after hours of operation. Talent will appreciate looking good with less discomfort.
The ARRI X Ceramic 250 is based on the design of the ARRI X Series, but includes a built-in ballast and igniter and can be directly plugged to power. Using the ARRI X reflector technology guarantees excellent light distribution, perfect for a smooth and cool background or fill light. With optional snoot and eggcrates a smooth but directional source makes the Arri X Ceramic a great key. Alternately you can create sharp shadows by switching to a black reflector and a clear safety glass.
You can find more information about the ARRI X Ceramic 250 lamps at the ARRI Group Web site. The lights are expected to be available by late November.
