HIGHER LIGHT OUTPUT The AS18 Event is almost the same size as the ARRISUN 12 Event, but light output is increased by about 70% due to its compatibility with the new 1800 W lamp and also due to the CCL technology integrated into the EB 1200/1800 EVENT THREE ballast. It shares the same lenses and accessories as the AS12 Event, and by utilizing a special adapter it can also be powered from the EB 1200 EVENT THREE. COMPENSATION OF CABLE LOSSES (CCL) CCL is a feature of the EB 1200/1800 EVENT THREE; it maintains full power all the way to the 1800 W lamp even when using cables of up to 100 m, which would otherwise mean a 15% loss of output. TRUE BLUE DISC BRAKE The ARRI True Blue tilt lock design continues to attract praise from broadcast and film industry professionals. An innovative disc brake enables the lamphead to be completely locked off with a minimal exertion of force and holds it securely in position even with heavy accessories attached. EB 1200/1800 EVENT THREE BALLAST Integrated electronic detection in the EB 1200/1800 EVENT THREE enables it to be used with either the AS12 Event or AS18 Event. A new multicore cable management system and the Event 1800 Split Box allow three lampheads to be connected to the ballast pack. As with other Event lampheads, the AS18 Event is equipped with ignition time control. FACETTED GLASS REFLECTOR The facetted glass reflector, an essential element of ARRI’s Event lampheads, produces an even spread of superior quality light with about 8% more light output than an aluminum reflector. The dichroic coating provides excellent color rendering and reduces the emission of heat from the front of the lamphead. CROSS COOLING The cross cooling system channels a stream of air through the fixture, reducing the housing temperature and allowing safe operation at any tilt angle. A new lighting fixture joins the ARRI Event System The ARRI Event System comprises a series of efficient, high color-rendering daylight lampheads, as well as remote, intelligent ballasts. For more than 10 years the Event System has been used at top international auto shows, as well as for sports, fashion and red carpet events where superior light quality is required. Following the great success of the AS18 lamphead in the film industry, a version of the same fixture has been developed to meet the requirements of event and trade show lighting: the AS18 Event. This new member of the ARRI Event family combines the AS18’s integration of the latest ARRI lighting technology with specific event lighting features.
