About Bron Kobold DW 800 Open Face Kit

What sets the Kobold 800 Watt HMI Open Face Kit apart is its exceptional design and professional-grade components, making it a top choice for photographers and videographers seeking durable, high-quality, and versatile lighting solutions. The kit's open face reflector is expertly optimized to deliver a high light output and ensure homogeneous illumination across your subjects, enhancing the visual appeal of your shots.

Crafted for precision and ease of use, the kit features an ergonomically positioned focusing knob, allowing for smooth adjustments from a narrow 12-degree to a wide 70-degree beam angle. This level of control is essential for professionals who demand the ability to tailor lighting to the specific needs of each project.

The robust construction of the daylight fixture offers compact dimensions without compromising on reliability, whether you're working in a studio environment or facing the unpredictable conditions of on-location shoots. The DW800's solid design is complemented by an IP54 rating, signifying a high resistance to water splashes, ensuring performance in various weather conditions.

Included in the kit is the Kobold EWB-400.575.800 IP43 rated, weather-resistant AC Ballast, compatible with the DW400, DW575, or DW800 HMI fixtures. This ballast, when connected to an 85-265VAC power source, provides dimmable power to your lighting setup, allowing for seamless integration into any scene. The included head-to-ballast cable ensures a reliable connection for consistent performance.

The comprehensive kit also comes equipped with an open face reflector, a glass diffusion filter to soften the light, a glass CTO conversion filter for color temperature adjustments, and a 4-leaf barn door for precise light shaping. A 25-foot lamp cable offers ample length for positioning the light exactly where you need it, and the 800 Watt HMI lamp itself is designed to produce a powerful, daylight-balanced output that meets the demands of professional photography and video production.

In summary, the Kobold 800 Watt HMI Open Face Kit is a powerful, professional tool that provides photographers and videographers with the quality and features needed to create stunning visual content. Its comprehensive set of tools, weather-resistant capabilities, and focus on consistent, high-quality lighting make it a superior choice in its category.

Bron Kobold DW 800 Open Face Kit Features

  • Fine Design: Lightweight and compact. No stray light, heat-resistant. Optional ceramic safety glass, wide range of accessories
  • Rugged: Housing is made of high strength aluminum and is equipped with a mount for single-ended HMI/MSR lamps with a high degree of efficiency. The ignition unit is air-tight and allows cold and hot starts even in a humid environment
  • Versatile: May also be used as a PAR, or lantern fixture, with the appropriate reflectors, available separately
  • Dimmable: The required light output can be set (100 - 60% adjustment range) with the power regulator. Color temperature can change with the power output depending on the type of lamp used. Less than 5% flicker
  • LED Display: Green LED is lit continuously: normal operating mode. Green LED is flashing: the thermo protection is activated reducing the power continuously down to 60%. Red LED Blinking: the mains voltage has dropped below 85V. If this LED is flashing, the lamp will be switched off automatically
  • Hot Restrike: Permits rapid on-off switching of included HMI bulb
  • Barn Doors: Help to shape the light output
  • Filters: CTO converts to 3400K "tungsten". Diffusion slightly softens and diminishes output
