ARRI M18 HMI Lamphead (110/220 VAC)
Key Features
  • 1800W Possible
  • 110/220 VAC
ARRI's M18 HMI Lamphead (110/220 VAC) is a newly designed, more efficient lamp head built to work with a new power class of lamp: the 1800W SE HMI (not included), which has an average life of 750 hours, a luminous efficacy of 92 lumens/watt, and a Color Rendering Index (CRI) greater than 90 at 6000K. The M18 is an open-face, lensless fixture that combines the characteristics of a PAR and a Fresnel, creating diverging rays of light to produce a very crisp shadow. It can operate on a 20A circuit. This lamp has a beam angle (HPA) of 20 to 60° with a wide usable field angle. The lamphead is silver.

I like the focus knob... save some lens money! I like the dimmer... save a grip five more minutes!

question

Is the ballast necessary for this lamp to be used? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/664968-REG/Arri_518500_M18_HMI_Lamphead_110_220VAC.html
Asked by: Ryan S.
Yes a ballast is needed to power the Arri M18 HMI Lamphead. The recommended ballast would be the Arri 1200/1800W High Speed Electronic Ballast B&H # ARBE1.21.8K. Please see the image for reference.
