Bron-Kobold HMI 800
Next best light to the sun...

The new versatile Bron All-Weather DW 800 in destine to be the next standard in HMI lighting for ENG, EFP and film production applications. It can easily be configured as an open face, Par, or as a bare lamp for use with soft boxes and lanterns. These accessories easily bayonet on to the lampbase without tools. The new All-Weather EWB 400-575-800 ballast is used to supply power to the DW 800. This ballast will also power the Bron DWO 400 for built in redundancy in your lighting system by automatically reading which fixture is plugged in.

The Bron DW 800 All-Weather Open Face fixture has a wide smooth focus range and excellent durability even in extreme weather conditions. The DW 800 uses the dimmable All-Weather EWB 400-575-800 electronic ballast to supply its power. The EWB 400-575-800 is stabilized for flicker-free recording regardless of the frame rate, shutter speed or mains supply frequency. It has automatic input voltage selection of 90-265 VAC. The system draws a maximum 8.9 volts @ 110VAC. This means you can run two Bron 800's off of one 20 amp household circuit. You could also run one Bron 800 and one Bron 400 on a 15 amp generator.

The Bron HMI DW 800 lamp base features rugged design, compact dimensions and maximum reliability and safety. The lamp base is fitted with a single-ended highly efficient HMI/MSR bulb and offers hot restrike capability. The bulb is placed along the reflector axis and creates a homogeneous, round illumination. Focusing can be adjusted in the range of 1:4.5 by means of a handy rotary knob. The lamp includes a handle for easy positioning. The light output can be dimmed by 40%.

The DW 800 rivals the light output of many 1200 watt HMI fixtures. With it's sturdy construction and reliable electronic circuitry, the DW 800 HMI is ideal for flicker-free, noiseless illumination of film and video productions.

All-weather and drip-proof...

When designing the lamp base and ballast, special emphasis was put on an efficient protection against dust and drip water. All openings are protected or sealed. The operating elements are equipped with a waterproof protective cap. The trigger unit is waterproof up to the bulb socket, allowing cold and hot triggering even in a humid environment. These design elements make the Bron DW 800 HMI easy to use for outdoor assignments.

Bron Kobold DW Openface and PAR lamp heads are rated IP54 and EWB ballasts are rated IP43. These ratings are based on European Standard EN 60529. Simply said, the equipment has demonstrated protective capability with regard to dust, foreign objects, and water intrusion.

Easy to transport...

The lamp base housing is made from sturdy aluminum alloy and steel. Despite the rugged design, and the various measures to make the equipment all weather-proof, their weight and size are comparatively small.

The Soft Box Adapter - The DW 800 with the Soft Box Adapter is a must have accessory, it allows for the use of soft boxes and lanterns with a standard 9” circular speed ring. The most important factor in using a soft box with a production fixture is to fill the front diffusion panel completely, this is perfectly accomplished with the bare bulb Soft Box Adapter.
