Filmgear 9/6kW Daylight HMI Power Beam Lamphead

Weighing only 125 lbs and having a small shallow profile of merely 23”, the Alpha 18K can use a Ceramic glass lens or Standard 24” Fresnel to create the smallest, lightest and most versatile 18K ever designed.

At the core of this innovation is a custom made reflector molded out of quartz composite material. This allows the lamp to be placed much closer to the reflector, therefore reducing the physical size of the Alpha 18K by a third compared traditional 18K’s on the market. The light output from this new reflector increases output by nearly 15%, adding a softer and smoother lighting pattern compared to the oversized conventional aluminum reflector.

The extrusion/vent system is precisely angled to get maximum cooling efficiency , the small diameter reflector allows for better heat circulation, along with a new back bulkhead, which assures that the Alpha 18K operating temperatures remain within specifications in any critical position, including straight down.

A double suspension system (one to the lamp heat sinks and one to the chassis support) makes the Alpha 18K lamp less fragile to rough handling, occurring during location transportation.

Whether it’s creating a soft Fresnel look or a hard shadow using the open eye set-up, the Alpha 18K gives any cinematographer or lighting director the tool he needs to get the job done.

The extremely compact and lightweight Alpha 9K: the go-to fixture for location shooting.

The Alpha 9K is the only 9K Fresnel on the market. Whether it’s creating a soft Fresnel look or a hard shadow, the Alpha 9K gives users the tool they need to get the job done. Additionally, the specially designed air ventilation system allows heat to be dissipated efficiently. In fact, it runs so “cool,” it can be illuminated in the straight down position.

Extremely Lightweight
“Open-Eye” HMI fixture converting to a very small Fresnel by a unique Drop-In Flood Fresnel Lens reducing overall fixture weight

Reflector and Chariot
Revolutionary Quartz Composite Reflector – 15% brighter than standard aluminum reflectors

Cooling
Combination of high-efficiency small Quartz reflector with computer- designed structural air vents provides efficient convection cooling in any operating position – even pointing straight down

Lamp Suspension
Quick and safe release of the lamp via a simple latch on the ceramic G38 socket

Versatility
Alpha 9K Spacelight Accessory can be used with industry standard spacelight accessories to create the brightest daylight spacelight on the market

The Lighstar HMI Balloon Light provides ambient light for outdoor and indoor shots. Combining a HMI light source with a diffusing cloth, the light is UV resistant and is perfect for replicating daylight on set. It includes built-in automatic pressure regulation and can be set up quickly. Available in several options.
