High-Output Daylight Workhorse for Major Productions

The ARRI Daylight 18/12 is a massive 18,000 W / 12,000 W HMI Fresnel spotlight designed to serve as the ultimate daylight key light, sun effect, or large-area wash for feature film sets, television broadcasts, and outdoor commercial locations. Combining a large-diameter wide-angle glass lens with ARRI’s optical housing design, the Daylight 18/12 produces a punchy yet beautifully smooth beam field over long throw distances.

Dual-Power Versatility & Precision Ergonomics

Engineered for real-world production demands, the fixture supports both 18 kW and 12 kW single-ended HMI lamps, enabling lighting crews to tailor power draw to available set power. Ergonomically designed focus knobs on both the front and rear of the chassis ensure that technicians can make quick focus adjustments whether working on the floor or up in an overhead staging truss.

Weather-Resistant Construction & Set Durability

Crafted from corrosion-resistant extruded and die-cast aluminum, the ARRI Daylight 18/12 withstands the rigors of heavy location use and harsh weather conditions. With easy access panels for rapid routine maintenance and an international VEAM connector interface, this fixture remains a standard for heavy-duty daylight illumination in studio rentals and production packages worldwide.
