How to Choose
Classic Cinematic Lighting
HMI for daylight-quality lighting: cut a window, create sunlight, illuminate an outdoor scene at night—with their flicker-free ballasts. Tungsten Fresnel for the warm rendering and adjustable beam of traditional studio lighting. Mandarin and blonde lamps for quick, light tungsten fill lighting.
Take the power supply into account: a large HMI requires its own dedicated line. We'll review your electrical diagram along with the quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
HMI or LED: Which Should You Choose Today?+
LEDs are becoming more versatile and energy-efficient, but at maximum power, HMI remains unbeatable for simulating sunlight. Large-scale productions often combine the two.
Why does each HMI come with a ballast?+
The ballast initiates and regulates the lamp's arc: without it, there would be no light. Ours are flicker-free, so they can operate at high shutter speeds without flickering.
Does a tangerine get very hot?+
Yes, just like any tungsten: be sure to wear gloves, keep a safe distance from the gelatin sheets, and use a well-ventilated setup. That's the price you pay for that unmatched warm look.
