Arri ARRIMAX 18/12 HMI
Description
The ARRIMAX 18/12 HMI is a high-output, lens-less reflector fixture designed for rentals where a controllable, high-contrast beam and reliable cooling are required. Its large parabolic facetted reflector provides continuous focus adjustment and crisp, defined shadows without the need for additional spread lenses.

- High output: 18000W single-ended (GX51) lamp, approximately 50% brighter than a 12K PAR, with dimming capability from 50% to 100%.
- Lens-less, arc-like shadows: Produces sharp, easily cut shadows ideal for backlight and key scenarios.
- Robust thermal management: ARRI eXtreme cooling reduces overheating during extended use.
- Service-friendly design: EZ lamp lock system for faster re-lamping on set.
Specifications
- Reflector diameter: 22.83" parabolic facetted MAX reflector made from high-purity aluminium.

Use Cases
Best suited for production situations that require a bright, focused source with crisp shadow definition, such as daylight simulation, key or backlight positions for large scenes, exterior night shots, and location rigs where a compact lens assembly is not desired. The wide focus range makes it flexible for both broad washes and tight spots.
