The Joker-Bug 200 is a compact PAR-style daylight fixture designed for rental use where high output, low power draw, and portability matter. It produces light comparable to a 750 to 1000 Watt quartz fixture while drawing only about 3 amps, and it supports multiple power options for field flexibility.

Key Features

• High output, low consumption: Optical design delivers a punch similar to much larger quartz fixtures while keeping electrical demand minimal.
• Multi-voltage operation: AC input 90–265 V 50/60 Hz, DC input 30 V or 14.4 V (compatible with 2 x 14.4V camera batteries), enabling use in 110 V and 240 V environments and on-location battery power.
• PAR-style beam: Specular parabolic reflector (3.75" diameter, approx. 90% reflectance) and PAR form factor provide an 80:1 spot-to-flood ratio for a versatile spot-to-flood range without a focusing mechanism.
• Reliable lamp and electronics: Uses an MSR 200 HR 5600 K lamp, rated around 200 hours. Electronic square-wave ballast provides flicker-free operation and is convection cooled for silent use.
• Durable construction: Aluminum lamp housing and machined beamer housing, tempered borosilicate UV-filter beaker, and robust yoke with 5/8" baby receptacle for common grip hardware.
• On-head convenience: Dual-function on/off push button, Veam quarter-turn quick locking connectors, and attached extension cables for straightforward rigging.

Use Cases

• Location shoots requiring high daylight output with limited power availability.
• Run-and-gun production or small crews needing quiet, battery-capable lighting.
• Situations that benefit from a compact PAR-style beam with easy diffusion or lensing for spot-to-flood control.
