Arri M8 800w

The M8 is 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 unrivalled efficiency of the MAX Technology reflector makes the M8 exceptionally bright; in fact, the light output produced by its 800 W lamp comes close to the output from a 1,200 W Fresnel or PAR (with lens). The unit can be focused between 15° and 60° just by turning the focus knob, producing a remarkably even light field and a crisp, clear shadow. By eliminating the need for bulky, easily breakable spread lenses, the M8 will speed up workflows on set.

The M-Series encompasses ARRI’s most innovative, Academy Award-winning daylight products featuring the unique, patented MAX Technology reflector. The MAX Technology enables lens-less, focusable lampheads that unify the advantages of a PAR and a Fresnel providing maximum light output.
