ARRI M40 HMI Lamp Head, Blue/Silver, Bundle with EB Max 2.5/4K Ballast, 50' Cable and Barndoor Set

Be at the forefront of professional lighting technology with the ARRI M-Series M40 HMI Lamp Head, a state-of-the-art lighting solution that combines the benefits of both Fresnel and PAR fixtures without the need for lenses. This innovative, open-face design results in a light that is approximately 30% brighter than its counterpart, the AS 40, when set to spot. The M40's patented MAX Technology reflector allows for precise focusing, with an adjustable Half Peak Angle ranging from 18 to 52 degrees, ensuring an exceptionally even beam spread and sharp shadows across the entire focus range.

Crafted for both durability and versatility, the M40's reflector is optimized for high-performance 4,000 W lamps, while maintaining compatibility with 2,500 W lamps, catering to a variety of professional lighting needs. The absence of fragile spread lenses not only makes the M40 an ideal choice for challenging location work but also streamlines workflow and minimizes the total cost of ownership.

The M40 is equipped with a Compensation of Cable Losses (CCL) module, which, when used in conjunction with the ARRI EB MAX 2.5/4K Ballast, ensures consistent lamp power and optimal output over cable distances up to 100 meters (330 feet), preserving color fidelity and intensity. The robust construction includes a tubular steel yoke and dual disc brakes, providing a secure mount for even the heaviest accessories.

Handling is made effortless thanks to the sturdy steel handles on both sides of the unit, mirroring the design of the larger M90, offering superior grip and maneuverability in all weather and on-set conditions. The M40's compatibility with AS 40 accessories, such as barndoors and scrims, adds to its practicality, allowing for the reuse of existing equipment.

Incorporating ARRI's CrossCooling technology, the M40 is engineered for safe operation at extreme tilt angles, ensuring that airflow is maintained and components are kept cool. The electronics housing is thoughtfully separated from the lamp housing to reduce heat buildup, extending the lifespan of electronic components. Maintenance is simplified with an easily accessible housing design.

For outdoor shoots, the M40 boasts an IP23 rating for weather resistance, ensuring reliable performance even in adverse conditions such as driven rain. This bundle, complete with the EB Max 2.5/4K Ballast, a 50' cable, and a barndoor set, offers a comprehensive lighting solution that meets the rigorous demands of professional photography and film production.
