Lighting > HMI
The design of the Arrimax 18/12 HMI PAR fixture provides an optimum choice for productions requiring maximum light output. Combining the variable beam spread of a Fresnel and the light output of a PAR, the Arrimax uses a unique reflector concept for beam control which eliminates the need for spread lenses.
18,000W Single Ended lamps use a sturdier GX51 lamp base for which ARRI engineers have designed a special lampholder. This new lampholder alleviates mechanical stress from the lamp pins, which now serve only as an electrical connection. The lamp clamping mechanism is self-aligning and uses a rugged, recessed lamp lock handle. To ensure that crews can easily use 12,000 W lamps or versions of 18 K Single Ended lamps with G38 bases, the new lampholder accepts either lamp type with no modification or adjustment required.
The optical system with its 580mm (22.8″) diameter specular, flatted reflector is adjustable and provides continuous focus from 15 – 50°. Because the Arrimax does not require a set of spread lenses, the shadow quality is sharper and easily cut. Although exact specifications are not available, this fixture will provide well over 3,000 footcandles from a distance of 100′, when fitted with a 12,000 watt HMI lamp.
