manual abstract
With reduced weight, compact size and maximum light output TRUE BLUES set a new standard for professional lighting equipment. New pressure die cast and extruded aluminum components have reduced the overall weight of the TRUE BLUE fixtures without any sacrifice in quality or durability. Many components now offer greater strength and resistance to corrosion. ARRI’s cross cooling system* reduces lamp housing temperature by 25% and lens temperature by 17%. With special air channels built into the aluminum extrusion, a constant stream of air passes around the Fresnel lens and into the lamphead regardless of the tilt angle. At the heart of the TRUE BLUE concept is a redesigned stirrup and improved tilt lock. The stainless steel friction disc locks the lamphead securely even with the largest Chimera or other accessories. To make lamphead balance even easier, the stirrup mounting slides and can be adjusted to counterbalance all accessories. The new extruded aluminum stirrup is stronger, lighter and less bulky but still permits full fixture rotation. Its soft contour makes it comfortable to carry. The new Stegmaier connector* and strain relief rotate to allow the cable orientation to be quickly adjusted for hanging or stand mounting. Improved barndoors are stronger, less susceptible to bending and a new hinge design maintains constant tension that can be easily adjusted. Routine maintenance and repair are easier with fast, simple access to all internal components. Cleaning is made effortless with smooth lamp housing surfaces. ARRI has redesigned these new lights down to the smallest detail, offering lighting professionals better choices for location and studio work. TRUE BLUE Fresnels from 1000 to 5000W include the T1, T2, T5, ST1, ST2 and ST5. * Patent pending Cross Cooling ARRI’s cross cooling system moves a stream of air around the Fresnel lens temperatures by 25%. Cross cooling allows ARRI TRUE BLUES to safely and through the lamphead. In addition, air is channeled through the operate at almost any tilt angle. aluminum extrusion housing reducing lens temperature by 17% and housing Patent pending Stegmaier Connector We’ve named this component for its inventor and the principal designer of ARRI TRUE BLUES. With this combination connector and strain relief, the power cable can be quickly reoriented for stand mount or hanging fixtures. In addition, the connector, along with ARRI’s new lampholder, allows us to eliminate the interior terminal block. Patent pending Sliding Stirrup Modern fixtures use a wide variety of Chimeras, scrollers and other front mounted accessories. Simply slide ARRI’s unique stirrup bracket to quickly and easily adjust the fixture’s center of gravity. * Due to the smaller size of the fixture, the sliding stirrup is not used on the T1. Tilt Lock ARRI’s new design creates a positive lock so there’s no slippage when using heavy accessories. A stainless steel friction disc functions like a disc brake allowing the lamphead to be completely locked off with a minimum of force. * Due to the smaller size of the fixture, the friction disc tilt lock is not used on the T1. ARRI | TRUE BLUE Top Latch Sometimes simple and reliable is the best answer. The new ARRI spring loaded Top Latch lifts and turns completely out of the way to load and unload scrims and barndoors, then pivots back into its locked position. Adjustable Accessory Brackets Finally an easy solution to an old problem. Location crews need space in the accessory bracket for up to four scrims; studio crews suffer from the light leak this creates. Now TRUE BLUE accessory brackets quickly adjust for two or four scrim use. Maintenance IP23 TRUE BLUE fixtures have been designed for serviceability with more common parts across the line. Removing six universal Torx screws provides easy access to all interior parts. TRUE BLUES require only three Torx drivers to disassemble the complete fixture. ARRI’s new aluminum extrusion makes cleaning fixtures easy and our new paint process ensures that TRUE BLUES will look as great as they perform. Barndoors New ARRI barndoors use a special alloy with a high strength-to-weight ratio. Although lighter in weight, the leaves in our new design withstand bending and deforming far better than traditional barndoors. In addition, leaves are now easily tightened to avoid slipping and the larger leaf design provides better control and sharper cutoff. TRUE BLUE fixtures are manufactured to the IP23 standard and are suitable for indoor use or outdoor use providing a degree of protection against falling rain (up to a 60° angle from vertical). Stainless Steel Lens Protection The laser cut hexagonal safety mesh maximizes light transmission and is tough enough to withstand location abuse. Stirrup Contour Easy to carry, ARRI’s new aluminum extrusion stirrup is smooth, incredibly strong and extremely lightweight. 1000W Fresnel T1 1000W Fresnel T1 Cat.
