For Sale: Arri 575 HMI Par - Low Price, Mint Condition

[Guy Holt]

To make way for new stuff I am selling a practically new Arri 575w Par Head with Flicker Free Electronic Ballast for $3'450.00. As long as there is a sun and moon in the sky there is the need for a 575 HMI on interior sets because Kino-Flos, & LED panels don’t come close to balancing direct sunlight in day light scenes or covering deep background in night scenes. For powerful daylight fill on exterior sets, to create the feel of hard sunlight on interior sets, or to light deep background on night exterior sets, this Arri 575W Par is an invaluable part of any small HD lighting package.

This Arri 575 Par is an especially good value because it features the Arri combination 575/1200w "Flicker Free" electronic ballast. This makes it a great starter system for a small lighting package. When you are ready to step up to a larger light, this same ballast will also operate a 1200 Par. It will also serve an important role in a HD lighting package when used in conjunction with our 7500W modified Honda EU6500is blimped generator (below.)

Use this link - http://www.screenlightandgrip.com/html/emailnewsletter_generators.html - for an informative newsletter article that explains what makes it possible for our modified Honda EU6500is to power bigger lights, or more smaller lights, than has ever been possible before of a portable generator. Enough lights, in fact, to constitute a complete location lighting package for DSLR HD Cameras. This article is cited in the just released 4th Edition of Harry Box's "Set Lighting Technician's Handbook" (http://www.screenlightandgrip.com/html/BoxBook.html) and featured on the companion website (http://www.screenlightandgrip.com/html/BoxBookExtras.html.) Of the article Harry Box exclaims:

 

"Great work!... this is the kind of thing I think very few technician's ever get to see, and as a result many people have absolutely no idea why things stop working."

 

"Following the prescriptions contained in this article enables the operation of bigger lights, or more smaller lights, on portable generators than has ever been possible before."

 

I am also selling a Sales Demo Desisti 4K HMI Par w/ Flicker Free Electronic Ballast (use this link - http://www.screenlightandgrip.com/html/ebay/Desisti_4k_System.html - for details.) This light offers many of the same advantages of the Arri 4k Par, but without the Arri name.
