ARRI M8

Equipment description

The M8 is an 800 W open-face fixture that combines the Academy Award-winning lens-less optical technology known from ARRIMAX with the innovative True Blue design.
The result is an extremely efficient lamphead, comparable in size to a 575 W PAR, yet delivering up to 70% more light output.
The M-Series M8 allows smooth adjustment of the beam angle from 20° to 60° without the need for additional diffusion lenses.
