USA - Arri Inc has introduced the new Arri X Ceramic 250, which employs the new Ceramic ST 250 HR discharge lamp from Philips, producing a 3200°K Tungsten quality light. This new lamp from Philips provides almost the same light output as a 1kW 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.

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, say Arri, suitable for a smooth and cool background or fill light. With optional snoot and eggcrates, a smooth but directional source makes the unit an ideal key. Alternatively, sharp shadows can be created by switching to a black reflector and a clear safety glass.

The ARRI X Ceramic 250 provides a very wide spread and is therefore ideal for lighting situations in narrow spaces where maximum output is required. The new fixture will be available in late November 2004.
