ARRI | TRUE BLUETHE EVOLUTIONOf Authentic ARRI TRUE BLUE LightingARRI TRUE BLUES represent an unprecedented evolution ofthe Studio and Location fixtures that have been popularworkhorses for over two decades. Following extensiveresearch and feedback from lighting professionals aroundthe world, combined with advances in technology, ARRI hasdesigned a series of six highly innovative lampheads withover 30 new improvements for studio and location lighting.With reduced weight, compact size and maximum lightoutput TRUE BLUES set a new standard for professionallighting equipment.New pressure die cast and extruded aluminium componentshave reduced the overall weight of the TRUE BLUE fixtureswithout any sacrifice in quality or durability. Manycomponents now offer greater strength and resistanceto corrosion.ARRI’s cross cooling system* reduces lamp housingtemperature by 25% and lens temperature by 17%. Withspecial air channels built into the aluminium extrusion, aconstant stream of air passes around the Fresnel lens andinto the lamphead regardless of the tilt angle.easier, the stirrup mounting slides and can be adjusted tocounterbalance all accessories. The new extruded aluminiumstirrup is stronger, lighter and less bulky but still permits fullfixture rotation. It’s soft contour makes it comfortable to carry.The new Stegmaier connector* and strain relief rotate toallow the cable orientation to be quickly adjusted forhanging or stand mounting. Improved barndoors arestronger, less susceptible to bending and a newhinge design maintains constant tension that can beeasily adjusted.Routine maintenance and repair are easier with fast, simpleaccess to all internal components. Cleaning is madeeffortless with smooth lamp housing surfaces.ARRI has redesigned these new lights down to the smallestdetail, offering lighting professionals better choices forlocation and studio work. TRUE BLUE Fresnels from 1000 to5000W include the T1, T2, T5, ST1, ST2 and ST5.* Patent pendingAt the heart of the TRUE BLUE concept is a redesignedstirrup and improved tilt lock. The stainless steel friction disclocks the lamphead securely even with the largest Chimeraor other accessories. To make balancing the lamphead even23
ARRI | TRUE BLUECross Cooling*Top LatchARRI’s cross cooling* system moves a stream of air around the Fresnel lensand through the lamphead. In addition, air is channeled through thealuminium extrusion housing, reducing lens temperature by 17% andhousing temperatures by 25%. Cross cooling* allows ARRI TRUE BLUES tosafely operate at almost any tilt angle.* Patent pendingTrue Blue offers two new designs of top latch to suit the application. TheStudio Top Latch is simple and easy to use and can be turned completely outof the way to load and unload accessories. The Location Top Latch isspecially coated for improved corrosion resistance and is sprung loaded forfast operation even when hot. Both versions feature a second safety catch toeliminate the need for a barndoor safety bond.Adjustable Accessory BracketsStudio Top LatchLocation Top LatchFinally an easy solution to an old problem. Location crews need space in theaccessory bracket for up to four scrims; studio crews suffer from the lightleak this creates. Now two-position TRUE BLUE accessory brackets quicklyadjust in or out for two or four scrims. By reducing the space between thescrims and the lens, unwanted reflected and spill light is minimised.MaintenanceTwo Scrim PositionFour Scrim PositionStegmaier Connector*TRUE BLUE fixtures have been designed for serviceability with more commonparts across the line. Removing a maximum of six universal Torx screwsprovides easy access to all interior parts. TRUE BLUES require only three Torxdrivers to disassemble the complete fixture.ARRI’s new aluminium extrusion makes cleaning fixtures easy and our newpaint process ensures that TRUE BLUES will look as great as they perform.BarndoorsImproved Weather Protection/IP23TRUE BLUE fixtures aremanufactured to the IP23 standardand are suitable for indoor use oroutdoor use providing a degree ofprotection against falling rain (up toa 60˚ angle from vertical).We’ve named this component after its inventor and the principal designer ofARRI TRUE BLUES. With this combination connector and strain relief, thepower cable can be quickly reoriented for stand mount or hanging fixtures.In addition, the connector, along with ARRI’s new lampholder, allows usto eliminate the interior terminal block.* Patent pendingSliding StirrupModern fixtures use a wide variety of Chimeras, scrollers and other frontmounted accessories. Simply slide ARRI’s innovative stirrup bracket to quicklyand easily adjust the fixture’s centre of gravity.* Due to the smaller size of the fixture, the sliding stirrup is not used on the T1.New ARRI barndoors use a special alloy with a high strength-to-weight ratio.The leaves in our new design withstand bending and deforming far better thantraditional barndoors. In addition, leaves are now easily tightened to avoidslipping and the larger leaf design provides better control and sharper cutoff.Stirrup ContourEasy to carry, ARRI’s new aluminium extrusion stirrup is smooth, incrediblystrong and extremely lightweight.Safety CertificationAll True Blue fixtures carry not only CE declaration but also an independentlyassessed TUV certification.Tilt LockARRI’s new design creates a positive lock so there’s no slippage when usingheavy accessories. A stainless steel friction disc functions like a disc brakeallowing the lamphead to be completely locked off with a minimum of force.Stainless Steel Lens ProtectionThe laser cut hexagonal safety mesh maximizes light transmission and istough enough to withstand location abuse.* Due to the smaller size of the fixture, the friction disc tilt lock is not usedon the T1.45
