Joker 2 1600W HMI High Speed Bug Kit (1000hz)

The Joker 2 1600W HMI High Speed Bug Kit (1000hz) is a lighting fixture available to rent from Lightbulb Rentals. We supply film, video, and photography productions across New York City, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh with tested, production-ready gear.

The Joker 2 1600W HMI High Speed Bug Kit from Lightbulb Rentals is the most powerful unit in the Joker2 range. At 1600W, this Joker is comparable to over 6000W of a Quartz fixture's output and produces one full stop more than the Joker2 800.

This Joker2 kit includes a specular reflector and a set of four PAR 64 lenses (Medium, Wide, Super Wide, and Frosted Fresnel). These lenses provide various light patterns and maximize output due to the reflector's design and finish.

Without optics, the bare-bulb output is ideal for use in Lightbanks and lanterns, offering perfectly even distribution within accessories. The 1600W unit features a dimmable ballast capable of operating at 300 or 1000 Hz frequencies for high-speed shoots.

Drawing only 15 amps on a 120V line, the 1600W ballast can run on any available house power. The ballast also supports the "Lumenradio" protocol, with an antenna and DMX panel for control via a tablet or smartphone.

Key specifications include a lamp type of 1600W HMI single-ended (also 800W), a color temperature of 5600K (daylight; 3200K lamp available), a lamp life of ~700-750 h. It also offers a lamp base of G22, a ballast of electronic, flicker-free 300/1000Hz, wireless DMX (LumenRadio), a ballast input of AC 90-265V.
