K 5600 Lighting Joker2 1600 Overview

The Joker2 1600 with Cable from K 5600 Lighting is a 1600W controllable light source designed for use on film, television, and still sets. Featuring a threaded screw-on ring, the Joker2 1600 allows for quick and tool-less relamping between separately available 3200K and 5600K HMI lamps. The threaded ring also allows you to mount a clear or frosted borosilicate beaker around the lens (beakers and lenses available separately). Additionally, the head incorporates a plug-in igniter designed to convert from HMI to 2K tungsten in less than a minute.

The Joker2 has an integrated three-axis yoke for flexible placement, and a braking system that ensures the system can support larger light shapers such as light banks, ellipsoid spots, and Softubes. For power, the head uses a separately available fully dimmable ballast. The ballast is high-speed with 300 and 1000 Hz frequencies, and offers built-in wireless DMX control via LumenRadio, allowing for control using a smartphone or tablet.

question

Does anyone fully understand the bicolor aspect of this light? I've been watching NAB videos and it seems like the balast is universal but you may have to swap the head for tungsten 2k open face mode.. Don't quite understand yet. thanks!
Asked by: Michael D.
For the Joker2 1600 and our Joker2 800 their is an alternate rear cap that will be available in about 8 weeks that will allow you to mount a Tungsten 2k or 1k lamp in the same socket as the daylight version. The igniter cap is removed by Two screws and un-clipped from the buglite head. You can the mount the alternate rear cap that has an on/off switch and plug so you may use the tungsten lamps. This allows you a 2k/1k Tungsten Par or buglite when you need it without having to carry an additional fixture. This is a very quick, simple swap of caps.
