K 5600 Joker Bug 200W HMI News Kit, AC/DC Ballast with Gold Mount Plate

Explore the advanced capabilities of the Joker Bug 200W HMI News Kit, a professional-grade lighting solution designed for the dynamic demands of news coverage. This high-quality, durable system ensures swift and silent lamp ignition and re-ignition, thanks to its ultra-fast re-strike lamp starter.

Retaining the versatility of the renowned Joker Bug system, this kit offers dual functionality as an omni-directional fixture and a focusable open-face flood. With virtually no setup time, the parabolic reflector can be adjusted to alter the beam pattern from spot to flood, achieving beam angles ranging from 16 to 45 degrees in a 3:1 ratio.

When used without optics, with the News Beamer detached, the Joker News transforms into a Bug-Lite. This open source is ideal for evenly filling a Lightbank or Lantern, making it a reliable choice for interview lighting. Its lightweight design allows it to be safely hung at the end of a boom arm.

The system is adaptable for travel and operation in 110 and 240Volt environments, as well as 28.8 (2x 14.4 camera batteries) and 30 Volt. The lamp housing is crafted from high-temperature black epoxy aluminum casting, with a light gray epoxy striker compartment.

The News Beamer is a solid one-piece machined aluminum with replaceable ears, clear anodized, and features a very short radial action for focusing. The Safety Glass Beaker is made from tempered Borosilicate UV filter. The yoke has a 5/8"Baby size receptacle, made from black epoxy finish aluminum casting, and a large brake area for use with front-end lightbanks, speed rings, louvers, and lanterns.

The lamp is a MSR 200 HR, with a color temperature of 5600 Kelvin and a lifespan of 200 hours. The power supply is electronic, square wave flicker-free, with AC input: 90-265 Volt 50 or 60 Hz, and DC Input 30 Volt or 14.4 Volt. It features a dual function ON/OFF push button switch and is completely silent, being convection cooled.

The kit includes a 25ft and 9ft extension cable attached to the head, a 4 3/4" diameter stippled parabolic reflector electrolytically coated, and accessories such as a barndoor, dicroic, and scrims. The Joker Bug 200W HMI News Kit is a versatile, reliable, and high-quality choice for professional lighting needs.
