Pouyan Fard Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hello, I came across these lights on line, they look just like Arries but way cheaper. I was wondering if any one has actually used them and know if they are any good. They are called BluLine and here is the link: http://www.imagewest.tv (on the left clike on Full Lighting Set-Ups) Thanks a lot cheers Pouyan F.

I wonder why the Germans don't use Las Vegas showgirls to sell their products. The last time I saw lighting knock offs, they were Indian made inspired by Mole Richardson designs. They were terrible. If you look into buying these Arri knock offs try to find out where they are made (China??) and see if you can get a money back gaurentee before you do. If you can't then don't. Stick with the tried and true. Best Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Kovacs Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 you need to check out this thread at dvx user: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=85829 it's very long and is about someone asking the same question you have. Some people actually ordered them and posted pictures (on page 6 I saw pictures) I'm shocked - they actually look legit. and they're really not too far from the B&H price which is only around $100 to $200 more. I may look into buying a few of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I didn't read every page of the thread at DVX user, but read enough to dicern that the far east ARRI clones were junk. While the housing may be the same (patent violation), the globes were inferior and the wiring was unable to withstand the heat. So it's your choice, you can save a few dollars and buy junk or buy ARRI, Mole-Richardson, Altman, Strand, QuartzColor, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
