About this rental

The Joker 2 800w 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 800W High Speed Bug Kit from Lightbulb Rentals is the most popular unit in the Joker2 range and was the first 800W HMI on the market. Its output is comparable to over 4000W of a Quartz fixture and produces one full stop more than the Joker2 400.

This Joker2 kit includes a specular reflector and a set of four PAR 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 800W unit features a dimmable ballast capable of operating 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. The ballast supports the "Lumenradio" protocol, with an antenna and DMX panel for control via a tablet or smartphone.

Weighing 48 lbs, the 800W kit is perfect for the traveling gaffer. Specifications Type: HMI Model: Joker2-Bug Power: 800W Weight: 38 lbs Color Temperature: 5600K

Key specifications include a light type of 800W HMI PAR (die-cast aluminum head, bare-bulb capable), a lamp of 800W single-ended HMI, 5600K, UV-stop, a color temperature of 5600K daylight. It also offers a power input of 90–265V AC, 50/60Hz; <7.5A @120V, a output equivalence of ~4000W+ tungsten equivalent, a photometrics (no lens) of 260,000 lux @3m; medium lens 37,600 lux @3m.
