1200 W HMI Fresnel head for professional production

The Arri True Blue D12 is a 1200 W HMI Fresnel head built for film and television work. Its compact housing reduces weight while maximising light output for demanding studio and location shoots. The unit suits gaffers and lighting technicians who need reliable, high-output daylight-balanced illumination.

6.9 in borosilicate lens and cross-cooling system

A 6.9 in (175.26 mm) low-expansion borosilicate Fresnel lens provides precise beam control and colour accuracy. The cross-cooling system lowers lamp housing temperature by 25 % and lens temperature by 17 %, extending component life during extended use. Dual stand mounts at 5/8 in (15.87 mm) and 1 1/8 in (28.57 mm) fit industry-standard lighting supports.

1200 W output defines the light level

The 1200 W rating sets the maximum photometric performance, determining whether the head delivers enough intensity for a given set or subject distance. Buyers who need significantly higher or lower output should select a different wattage class. The redesigned stirrup and tilt lock simplify attachment of Chimera or similar modifiers.
