About the Arri ARRISUN / ARRISUN EVENT series
The Arri ARRISUN / ARRISUN EVENT series encompasses a broad family of film and television lighting fixtures built around highly efficient parabolic reflectors and corrosion-resistant aluminium construction, delivering extremely even light distribution with lamp focus adjustment. Smaller models such as the ARRISUN 2 and 5 share this core design, while the ARRISUN 18 accepts existing 1200 W lenses and cables, runs from most domestic sockets worldwide, and uses a 1800 W lamp that is more than 70 percent brighter than a 1200 W lamphead. The ARRISUN 40 features a TRUE BLUE housing, a tubular steel yoke with two disk brakes, Compensation for Cable Loss, and cross cooling for safe operation at extreme tilt angles. The ARRISUN 60 adds support for up to ten different INSERT or DROP-IN lenses. Larger models including the ARRISUN 120 follow the same parabolic reflector and easy-service-access design. The ARRISUN 5 Event variant uses high-efficiency dichroic glass reflectors, offers low heat emission from the front of the lamphead, and outputs a daylight colour temperature. Models carrying an IP 23 protection class rating are suitable for a range of production environments.
Arri ARRISUN / ARRISUN EVENT series — buyer FAQs
What is the Arri ARRISUN series and what is it used for?
The Arri ARRISUN series is a range of HMI lampheads built around highly efficient parabolic reflectors and corrosion-resistant aluminium construction. The fixtures deliver extremely even light distribution with lamp focus adjustment and are widely used in film and television lighting. The range spans multiple wattages, from compact models through to larger lampheads, with IP 23-rated units suited to varied production environments.
How do the different ARRISUN models differ from one another?
The ARRISUN 2 and 5 share the core parabolic reflector design, while the ARRISUN 18 uses a 1800 W lamp that is more than 70 percent brighter than a 1200 W lamphead and runs from most domestic sockets worldwide. The ARRISUN 40 adds a tubular steel yoke with two disk brakes, Compensation for Cable Loss and cross cooling. The ARRISUN 60 supports up to ten different INSERT or DROP-IN lenses, and the ARRISUN 5 Event uses dichroic glass reflectors at daylight colour temperature with low heat emission from the front.
Who makes the ARRISUN and where does it sit in the Arri lighting range?
ARRISUN fixtures are made by ARRI, a German manufacturer of cinema and broadcast equipment founded in 1917 and headquartered in Munich. The ARRISUN series represents the company's HMI lamphead offering within a broader lighting portfolio that spans LED, tungsten and HMI sources, all intended for professional film, television and studio use.
What should I check when buying a used ARRISUN or ARRISUN EVENT lamphead?
Confirm which wattage and model variant is listed, since the ARRISUN 18, 40, 60 and 120 differ in size, lens compatibility and power requirements. Check whether IP 23-rated models have had their housing or cooling system compromised. On the ARRISUN 40, verify the disk brakes and yoke are undamaged. Used units on 10K Used include a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults; the buying guide at 10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide covers full purchase detail.
What drives the price of a second-hand ARRISUN fixture?
Used ARRISUN pricing depends on the specific model and wattage, since a compact ARRISUN 2 or 5 occupies a different market position from a larger ARRISUN 40 or 120. Condition of the reflector and housing, whether the unit carries an IP 23 rating, lens compatibility (particularly on the ARRISUN 60 with its multi-lens support) and overall age all affect value.
