The Arri 1K 5 is a studio Fresnel designed for high-performance tungsten lighting in film and television environments. Its large glass lens and efficient optical design provide a wide, even beam useful for both key and fill applications. The fixture’s modular, corrosion-resistant construction balances strength with manageable weight for repeated location and studio use.

Key Features

• Even light distribution: Large Fresnel lens produces consistent output across the beam for smoother falloff and easier mixing with other units.
• Effective cooling: Cross-cooling streams supplement conventional ventilation to help manage lamp and housing temperature during extended runs.
• Secure locking and handling: Stainless steel friction disc provides rigid lock-off. Top latches and robust accessories suit both studio grids and location rigging.
• Accessory flexibility: Adjustable accessory brackets accept 2-scrim and 4-scrim positions. Durable 8-leaf barndoors with high strength-to-weight ratio enable precise beam shaping.
• Heat and transmission stability: Stainless steel lens protection preserves light transmission and maintains performance at high operating temperatures.
• Wattage range: Compatible with 500–1000 W tungsten lamps, model 551101.
• Safe for indoor and outdoor use: Built to withstand typical production handling and environmental conditions.

Use Cases

The Arri 1K 5 is suitable for studio setups requiring high-wattage tungsten sources, as well as location shoots that need robust, reliable Fresnel light with wide beam coverage. It is well suited as a key light, fill, or for backlight applications where even illumination and heat management are important.
