Ceramic discharge metal halide CD & CST fresnel

Recommended Posts

Anyone has used CD or CST fresnel for cinematography? Desisti and Arri both make CDM lights (150W and 250W respectively). It is designed for architecture applications but I wonder why it is not widely used in film/video?

 

IN CD, they have built-in high frequency ballast, available in 3200K, 4200K, 10,000 hours life, cold restrike, CR>90.

 

In CST, 250W = 1000W tungsten output, a Desisti tech rep told me that they can take MSR daylight lamp giving 5600 deg!!!! It costs substantially less than a HMI kit. It sounds very attractive for me.
