ARRI M-Series M8 HMI Lamphead

The ARRI M-Series M8 HMI Lamphead features the latest and smallest lighting fixture in ARRI’s highly successful M-Series of HMI lampheads. Like the rest of the M-Series, the M8 is equipped with MAX Technology, a unique, patented reflector design that unifies the advantages of a Fresnel and a PAR fixture.

The combination of an open face design and the efficiency of the MAX Technology reflector makes the M8 exceptionally bright; the light output produced by its 800W lamp is nearly the same output as a 1,200W Fresnel or PAR (with lens). The unit can be focused between 15° and 60° by turning the focus knob, producing a remarkably even light field and a crisp, clear shadow. By eliminating the need for bulky, delicate spread lenses, the M8 increases efficiency on set.
