We’ve spent the past few weeks diving into our various Fresnel lines, but as the days get shorter, we’ll be needing more daylight than ever, so this week, it's time to show some love to our powerhouse F-Series of faceted PARs as well as our nifty Daylight Boxers. Both HMI lines put the emphasis on output without ditching the smooth quality of their Fresnel cousins. Get your daylight savings this winter with 30% OFF of our legendary F-Series and 40% OFF of the Daylight Boxers!
F-Series
The F-Series brings the raw output of traditional PARs with the smooth, filmic look of Fresnel lenses, giving gaffers the best of both worlds. From the condensed power of the F800 to the unbridled brilliance of the F18k, the F-Series outshines competitors’ output in side-by-side comparisons. This massive output is thanks to the F-Series’ faceted reflectors which are tailored to the exact position of the HMI arc for each bulb class. To that end, the F-Series split off the F12k and F6k to use reflectors that were optimized specifically for 12kW and 6kW HMI bulbs, to further smooth out the distribution, unlike other faceted PAR lights who suffer from dark halos and other fringing effects. The widened flood angles further allow you to take better advantage of the even light quality, turning the F1.8k and F800 into impressive fill lights for indoor shoots using only house power. For outdoor shoots where you need to compete with the sun, the F-Series’ powerful yet clean output makes them absolute must-haves.
It’s not just output that our F-Series has in spades, but also its durability. You don’t have to worry about taking these lights to rougher territory or having to be too delicate when transporting them. Gaffers have gone over 15 years with these lampheads through constant use. They can weather tropical storms — just ask Mazi Mitchell, who used our F9k, F4k, and F1.8k through months of filming in the coastal Georgian summer humidity — and survive the cold of a winter shoot on the slopes. And of course the F-Series runs off of the same electronic ballasts as our other HMI lights and is compatible with the same VEAM connector pin configuration, meaning you can save both money and truck space with universal ballasts.
Daylight Boxer
But our F-Series isn’t the only source of daylight we’re discounting this week: our Daylight Boxer is perfect for times when you need that same punchy daylight power as our F-Series but in a much smaller, more maneuverable package. Gaffers love using the Boxers as bounce lights to help fill shots when you need to place the light in a spot where a bigger head would struggle. The standard and deluxe kits add the full gamut of accessories to expand on the versatility and bring the Boxers wherever you need. Throw on a softbox, lantern, or frosted lens for diffusion, or try a barrel to focus the beam, giving you the flexibility to turn the Daylight Boxer into the ideal travel-friendly daylight source.
