ARRI M18 1800W HMI's!

THE BRIGHTEST HMI YOU CAN PLUG INTO THE WALL*

Based on the design principles of the ARRIMAX, the new M18 is an innovative lamphead that works with a new power class of lamp: the 1800W SE HMI™. This lamp boasts 750 hours of average life and a Luminous Efficacy of 92 Lumens per Watt (L/W). The Color Rendering Index (Ra) is greater than 90 at 6000K (CCT).

The M18 is a lensless, open face lighting fixture that combines the desired light distribution from the optics of a PAR and a Fresnel fixture. The unique ARRIMAX reflector design creates diverging rays to produce a crisp shadow.

With a beam angle (HPA) of 20 to 60 degrees and a wide usable field angle, the M18 is designed to be both intense and efficient.

The M18 is designed to be highly versatile and meet better lighting efficiencies in a new performance class. Intense and efficient, these lights showcase convenient, cost-effective qualities in addition to the known characteristics and high standards of ARRI HMIs™. These new units also support a 1200W lamp.

The distinctive power class of the M18 has also necessitated the design of a new electronic ballast. ARRI's EB 1200/1800W incorporates CCL (Compensation of Line Losses) and the latest advancements in efficiency to supply proper power for these lamps.

* "Into the wall" denotes a single, 20A 120VAC electrical outlet on a single circuit.
