The Arrilite 750 Plus from Arri is an enhanced version of the tried-and-true Arrilite open face line. Arri started with the basic design of the Arrilite 800 and optimized the reflector to increase output 21% using a 750W HPL lamp which uses a compact filament that concentrates the most light where it is efficient. The result is almost double the output.
The detachable accessory holder handles not only scrims and barndoors from the Arrilite 650 Plus but accepts Chimera Video Pro Plus softboxes without having to purchase a dedicated speed ring. In place of the traditional yoke Arri offers a one-arm stirrup which offers greater movements, as well as a heat-proof handle on the back of the head. Lamp change is quickly accomplished via bayonet cap locks.
Whether your field is film, video or news gathering the Arrilite 750 Plus is a great addition to your lighting setup.

Comments about Arrilite 750 Plus:
Really love the built in Chimera ring. A lot of value there. It doesn't flood as wide as the Lowel DP light, so it doesn't fill the front diffusion of the Chimera Small Video Pro. But it's brighter and built better than the Lowel unit.

Comments about Arrilite 750 Plus:
Replacing the old Arri open-faces, this light takes previous design advantages and improves upon them, creating a sleek, multi-functional design. To begin, the single-stirrup makes handling very simple, and the friction-lock grip ensures that the light isn't going to slip once secured in place. Then there's the speed ring, this addition saves any prospective Chimera buyer a good deal of money, and although the rod slots are fixed, it doesn't take away from the usefulness of this feature.
The new rotation-lock for accessing the bulb-holder is a fantastic improvement, making replacing the bulb a breeze. And speaking of the bulb, with the new HPL lamps, output increases dramatically from previous designs. This bulb design, along with Arri's specialized reflector, makes the light very punchy for the wattage put in. With this does come a price though, this light gets exceptionally hot, but put at enough of a distance, this is no issue.
Bottom line: Arri succeeds once again with an exceptional and versatile light at a reasonable price. A must-have addition to any light kit.

Comments about Arrilite 750 Plus:
It's lighter & smaller than the 650w it replaced.
My test showed that it is 2/10ths of a stop less that the 1K it replaced, with a smoother beam and using 75% of the power.
And it comes with a speed ring!
Arri-WINNING!

This light provides a nice even wash, uses minimal power and stays reasonably cool. It is light-weight but very solid. I use it with a Chimera soft box and I'm very pleased with the results.
