If you're seeking a lighting solution that meets the rigorous demands of motion picture, television, and event production, the Mole-Richardson 12-18K HMI Fresnel Light Kit stands as the industry standard. Engineered for durability and performance, this kit is a modern homage to the classic 225 Litewate Brute Arc, yet it boasts significant advancements in cooling efficiency. Strategic engineering channels ensure optimal convective air-flow, maintaining the fixture and sockets at cooler operating temperatures even during extended use.
Crafted with a robust double-walled sheet metal and cast aluminum construction, the design meticulously eliminates any spill light, ensuring your lighting is precise and controlled. At the heart of this kit is a 24" Borosilicate Fresnel lens, renowned for its resistance to thermal shock and paired with a 16" Brytal Aluminum reflector. This combination delivers an exceptional output with a smooth, even field that can seamlessly transition from a focused spot to a wide flood.
The Mole-Richardson 12-18K HMI Fresnel Light Kit is a powerhouse, capable of producing an intense beam of 25,781 footcandles, forming a 3' diameter circle from 20' away at full spot. Alternatively, at full flood, it can cast a broad illumination of 1953 footcandles across a 19.7' diameter, also from 20' away. This versatility makes it an indispensable tool for professionals looking to create the perfect lighting environment.
This professional-grade kit includes not only the 12-18K HMI Fresnel light but also a high-quality cable, an electronic ballast for reliable power management, and scrims for nuanced light control. A diffuser frame further refines the light quality, while the included scrim bag ensures convenient storage and transport. To complete this versatile lighting setup, simply select a heavy-duty stand and an HMI bulb suited to your specific requirements.
Whether you're lighting a blockbuster film set or creating the ambiance for a major event, the Mole-Richardson 12-18K HMI Fresnel Light Kit is the powerful, professional choice that promises both reliability and exceptional lighting quality.
