K5600 Joker2 800W Kit

This K5600 Joker2 800W Kit has been well maintained and is in good working condition.

The K5600 Joker2 800W is a versatile 5600K HMI fixture built for production lighting where you need high output from a compact, travel-ready kit. The 800W is the most popular unit of the Joker² range, and was the first 800W HMI on the market.  It's output is comparable to over 4000W of a Quartz fixture’s output and produces one full stop more than our Joker² 400.

Optics for multiple beam looks

This Joker² kit features a specular reflector and a set of four PAR lenses (Medium, Wide, Super Wide and Frosted Fresnel). Lenses provide various light patterns and a maximum output due to the reflector design and finish. This makes it easy to shift from a tighter, punchy beam to wider coverage without changing the fixture, helpful for everything from keying talent to pushing light through diffusion.

Bare-bulb performance for soft light modifiers

Without optics, the bare-bulb output is optimal for use in Lightbanks and lanterns due to its ability to create perfectly even distribution within accessories. This is especially useful when you want a large, soft source with smooth falloff and minimal hotspotting.

Ballast control, high-speed operation, and power flexibility

The 800W comes with a dimmable ballast, which is able to work at 300 or 1000 Hz frequencies for High Speed shoots. Drawing less than 7.5 amps on a 120V line, the 800W ballast can run on any available house power. Using the "Lumenradio" protocol, the new ballast now has an antenna and DMX panel allowing for it to be controlled via a tablet or smartphone.
