HMI light....what brand Alex

[jocko]

Frezzi's cost about..$2500-3000(new) for a kit
18W and 24W...Anton Bauer makes a little HMI camera light for around.$750.00..both are battery operated..or can be run off a power supply...good luck with your production...when you make the jump to 16mm..check out renting a Aaton A-minima..not much bigger than a super-8 or DV camera..I have one rented for a shoot next week in maryland..of course I'm not the DP so I won't get to play with it..

The frezzi I have works off of 12 volts and sells for between $800-$1,000.

Then there are accessories that can ding you for a bit more...and a spare bulb is at least another hundred.

The good news about the bulbs, they are virtually indestructible, my light has been knocked over from a height of 8 feet while on..that was a over a year ago, still have the same bulb in the light, it works.

I went to NAB 98 and remember seeing a small HMI light that was on camera....had a nice way of filling things up outside, and it could be switched to tungsten for inside work. I think it was Cool lux......It was a nice piece and that was 1998....although not that not that long ago...technology changes very quickly.

Peace and Light,

Scott

Thanks for sharing that....it jarred my memory!!!

I just used mine this morning, it's staring right at me.

Frezzi energy systems.

Frezzi Mini-fill or
Mini-Arc.....

Frezzolini Electronics Inc.
Hawthorne, NJ. O7506 (201) 427-1160

Their kind of pricey...around a grand!

I got another one off e-bay used for a quarter that amount.

The light can be harsh, but they do sell a diffusion frost glass.

It may be more trouble than its worth for this trip.

And it does need a good power source.

Hope that helped.
