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.

This Joker² kit features a revolutionary ZOOM beamer. This lensless and focusable beamer gives 15 to 60 degrees of even light output. With its physical similarities to a faceted umbrella, the soft finish beautifully distributes light across your subject.

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.

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.

At 48 lbs, the 800W is perfect for the traveling gaffer.
