Arri L7-C Fresnel

At the Alexa training I also had a chance to use an Arri L7-C.  If you were to see the light coming from this fresnel you wouldn't think it was coming from a LED light.  The light from the spot/flood is what you would expect from a fresnel but instead of a sled moving inside the light, the lens slides like an ellipsoid.



Unexpected was the weight or maybe I shouldn't have been too surprised because it's overbuilt like most Arri lights.  It's a little smaller but a little heavier than a baby 2K and puts out about 1K's worth of light but without the heat.  Those fins really work and it's very cool.  And very cool!


The L stands for LED, the 7 is the 7" fresnel and the L7 models are T for tungsten, D for daylight or C for controllable.  The C model has a built in dimmer plus you can control both the Tungsten to Daylight color temperature and green to minus green color correction.  All can all be controlled DMX.


Projected price is around $2300-3000.  It's costs a lot of money to be green but on the other hand you never have to buy another globe or worry about burn-outs.
