Arri M-Series
Arri’s M-series fixtures combine robust construction with the innovative and efficient MAX lens-less reflector. At 1800W, the M18 can narrowly fit within the envelope of a 20A circuit; the M40 is up to 30% brighter than previous-generation parabolic fixtures.
| Model | Beam angle | Power | Weight (head) |
|---|---|---|---|
| M18 | 20° to 60° | 19A+ @ 120V | 33 lbs (15 kg) |
| M40 | 18° to 52° | 33.3A @ 120V | 44 lbs (20 kg) |
Alpha Fresnel
K5600 Alphas use a unique quartz reflector that allows the lamp to be pointed any direction, including straight down. With a fresnel lens, Alphas focus a smooth, shapeable beam from 10° or less to 60° or more; the lens can also be safely removed for uniform background illumination and sharp shadows across a 90° spread.
The Alpha 9K is compatible with 6K lamps, which can be powered by select small generators in certain configurations. Alpha 4K will run on any 60A Bates-capable generator.
