ARRI X Ceramic 250

ARRI Lighting introduces the new ARRI X Ceramic 250.

Based on the new Ceramic ST 250 HR lamp from Philips which provides 3200K Tungsten equivalent light from a discharge lamp the new ARRI X Ceramic 250 is the perfect fixture for smooth and cool background and fill lighting.

The new lamp from Philips provides almost the same light output as a 1kW Halogen lamp, but with a quarter of the power consumption. Due to the lower power consumption (250W) the fixture is much cooler than a comparable Halogen fixture and it’s much easier to work with where power is limited, for example when using a small generator.

In principle the fixture is based on the Daylight ARRI X 5 but the ballast for the Ceramic lamp is incorporated in the housing of the lamp head itself, so that it is a “Plug-In-The-Wall” fixture.


Apart from all the technical and economical benefits the fixture also gives a nice quality of light. Very sharp shadows can be created using the black reflector in combination with the clear glass and the light field is more even than with a filament source.

Typical for the optical design of the ARRI X is the wide spread, so that the fixtures, both Daylight and Tungsten (Ceramic) are good for situations where the application requires maximum light with a minimum of space.
