Part of the D series the True Blue D5 575W Daylight Fresnel Lamp Head is evidence that while moving ahead with new types of light sources such as LED, ARRI continues to improve and enhance its tungsten and HMI sources. The extensively redesigned D5 fixture stresses ease of operation backed with innovative technology. Cross cooling channels a stream of air around the 5.9" lens and though the housing allowing use at almost any angle without heat damage. A sliding stirrup allows you to adjust the fixture's center of gravity to accommodate front heavy accessories such as large softboxes. Accessory brackets are adjustable to hold 2 or four scrims, reducing the possibility of light leaks. Safety features include a barndoor safety latch and stainless steel lens mesh. This listing includes only the D5 head and requires a ballast, head to ballast cable and ballast for use.
Cross Cooling
ARRI's cross cooling system moves a stream of air around the Fresnel lens and through the lamp head. In addition, air is channeled through the aluminum extrusion housing, reducing lens and housing temperatures. Cross cooling allows ARRI True Blues to safely operate at
almost any tilt angle.
Adjustable Accessory Brackets
Location crews need space in the accessory bracket for up to four scrims; studio crews suffer from the light leak this creates. Now two-position True Blue accessory brackets
quickly adjust in or out for two or four scrims. By reducing the space between the scrims and
the lens, unwanted reflected and spill light is minimized.
Sliding Stirrup
Modern fixtures use a wide variety of softboxes, scrollers and other front mounted accessories. Simply slide ARRI's innovative stirrup bracket to quickly and easily adjust the fixture's center of gravity.
Stirrup Contour
Easy to carry, ARRI's aluminum extrusion stirrup is smooth, strong and
extremely lightweight.
Tilt Lock
ARRI's design creates a positive lock so there's no slippage when using heavy accessories. A stainless steel friction disc functions like a disc brake allowing the lamp head to be completely locked off with a minimum of force.
Top Latch
The Location Top Latch is specially coated for improved corrosion resistance and is spring loaded for fast operation even when hot.
Optional Barndoors
ARRI barndoors use a special alloy with a high strength-to-weight ratio. The leaves withstand bending and deforming far better than traditional barndoors. In addition, leaves are now easily tightened to avoid slipping and the larger leaf design provides better control and sharper cutoff. The same features are incorporated in an optional eight leaf barndoor.
Maintenance
True Blue fixtures have been designed for serviceability with more common parts across the
line. Removing a maximum of six universal Torx screws provides easy access to all interior parts. True Blues require only three Torx drivers to disassemble the complete fixture.
ARRI's improved aluminum extrusion makes cleaning fixtures easy while a improves paint process ensures that True Blues will look as great as they perform.
Barndoor Safety Catch
Although the top latch holds accessories securely at any tilt angle, both Studio and Location
lamp heads feature a second safety catch mounted on the bottom accessory bracket. This eliminates the need for a barndoor safety bond without restricting the rotation.
Stainless Steel Lens Protection
The laser cut hexagonal safety mesh doesn't impede light transmission and is tough enough to withstand location abuse.
IP23 Improved Weather Protection
True Blue fixtures are manufactured to the IP23 standard and are suitable for indoor use or outdoor use providing a degree of protection against falling rain (up to a 60˚angle from vertical).
Safety Certification
All True Blue fixtures carry not only CE declaration but also an independently assessed TUV certification.
