I have four of these lights and use them for Classic Hollywood type glamour and figure studies. I use them with dimmers to control the amount of light that they emit and keep the models comfortable. The ability to focus the light is a big plus and of course with continuous lighting WYSIWYG. The lights do get hot but once you understand that there are two cool places where you can grab them you'll have no burn issues. I use them with the barndoors and snoots when needed and these accessories are well integrated and attach easily to the light fixture. The AC cord is about 20' long.

These lamps have good even throw. The falloff from the center is even and not unsightly. I reccomend them. Arri knows what they're doing and have made a lamp you can trust.

Comments about Arri 650 Watt Plus Tungsten Fresnel (120-240VAC):
Arri lights are good, no denying it. This light is no exception. But for the price, they should at least include the barn doors and a light bulb! I think they should even throw in a gel pack. Arri lights are way overpriced and Arri is using their good name to jack up prices on us while their cost remains relatively low. The only reason I bought this one light rather than a cheaper light kit, like Lowell, was because a friend needed one more light for his light kit, I bought the one light, now we share the light kit.

Comments about Arri 650 Watt Plus Tungsten Fresnel (120-240VAC):
This Fresnel is a very useful size and goes up to 650 watt bulbs. Or you can run 500 watt bulbs. The construction is top quality and the flood to spot focusing is a must. I have bought 2 of this model and it makes people look attractive. I had an aging female rocker that I was making a music video for. I was able to dial in the focusing and light sculpting to make her look 15 years younger. She was thrilled and I am getting more work. Highly recommended. They will last a life time.

Comments about Arri 650 Watt Plus Tungsten Fresnel (120-240VAC):
There is nothing that I don't love about this light:if it is either for long throws (far away subject) or something pretty close (just throw a bit diffusion perhaps), this light will give you a round, stylish look. Great for overall applications, studio or outdoors.

This light is straight forward and compact. It's simple in the design but gives you a lot of options for lighting situations.
Only complaint is that the strap to hold the cord can melt.

Comments about Arri 650 Watt Plus Tungsten Fresnel (120-240VAC):
I use this as a back light or a light to pepper something in the background or foreground. Great for that. I've even seen one of my guys use it as a hard key. Only thing that is a bit of a bummer though, is that everything (and i mean everything) is separate including the bulb. But that aside. if you get the proper scrims and barn doors you have a well built heavy duty light. Good buy.
