Innovations dating back to 1924

More than a century ago, in 1924, ARRI began production of the first mirror-faceted reflector with an electric light bulb and designed a mobile generator, fully equipped and powered by an aircraft engine. Perfect for location filming, the generator and lights proved to be a popular rental package.

We’ve come a long way since then

Over the years we’ve learned a lot. We’ve innovated; improved on-set workflows; set trends; sometimes fallen short, but tried again and got better. With your help, feedback, testing, and most importantly with your trust, we’ve been able to continue bringing you bespoke lighting tools.

Looking ahead, we’re setting ourselves up for the future with new ideas, new energy, and new manufacturing solutions—aiming to equip the next generation of content creators with the next generation of ARRI lights.

Creative lighting showreel

This showreel was made to celebrate and inspire creativity by demonstrating the spectacular possibilities of ARRI lighting. It was shot over two days with 300 ARRI LED fixtures, 4,820 DMX channels, 350 m of rigging pipe, and two dancers. We hope it encourages you to interact with light, paint with light, and put light at the center of your creative expression.
