Introduction

Thank you for selecting a LED luminaire of the L5-series from

Introduction

ARRI. The products of the L5-series are fresnel-luminaires
equipped with a high precision, micro-processor controlled
LED light source. The L5-series is a perfect and easy replace­ment for conventional fresnel-luminaires with tungsten lamps.

The L5-series combines the advantages of the LED technology
with the ease of use of a traditional fresnel-luminaire. The
L5-series integrates seamless into established working prac­tice. LED luminaires are much more efficient than light sources
with conventional tungsten lamps. The optical system offers
real fresnel characteristics with an extreme smooth beam and
clean shadows. The half peak angle can be adjusted continu­ously from 15° - 50°.

The products of the L5-series emit white or colored light with
adjustable color temperature and adjustable green / magenta
saturation. Please find more detailed information in chapter
“Specifications” on page 48. The light spectrum is optimized for
excellent color rendition and fulfills perfect the demands of
modern, digital cameras. All models of the L5-series can be
controlled using the common DMX512-A protocol or the fixture
menu.

The products of the L5-series can be powered by AC power,
low voltage DC power sources and battery packs. Please find
more detailed information about the use of battery packs in the
section “Power” on page 17.

Features

Focus

Traditional fresnel-luminaires are able to spot and flood the
beam as needed. Whether it is a flood field for a pullback or a
tight spot for a bright highlight, the continuous focusability of
the ARRI L5 performs just as expected.

Versatile beam characteristics

The ARRI L5 provides the same ability as conventional fresnel­luminaires to cut set elements and shape the beam with barn­doors and flags.

Even light field

Clean, defined shadows have traditionally been a trait only of
single source tungsten and daylight fixtures. ARRI L5 fresnel­luminaires provide the same single shadow properties lighting
designers expect, delivering natural results.

Vibrant colors, full spectrum lighting

True-to-life color rendition i s an o ut s ta nd i ng feature of the
L5-series, comparable to a full spectrum tungsten source. The
fully tuneable white light of the ARRI L5-C can be adjusted for
different skin tones, camera sensors and mixed light environ­ments. Full gamut color mixing enables the rendition of all color
shades, making color filters dispensible.

Cool light beam

Like all LED light sources the ARRI L5 does not emit infrared
or UV radiation and thus does not forward heat, making actors
feel comfortable in the light beam.

Properties

Focus knob

The TRUE BLUE style focus knobs provides precise adjust­ment and rapid flood-to-spot with only three turns. Knobs on
both sides of the fixture ensure easy access from all positions.

Sliding stirrup

The sliding stirrup design enables precise compensation for
front end accessories.

Yoke

With an extreme slim profile, the extruded aluminum yoke pro­vides high strength without added weight. An optional, pole op­erated yoke allows full operation of pan and tilt from the floor
and is therefore a popular choice for many studios.

Tilt-lock

The high strength tilt-lock provides extreme secure locking. It
eliminates movement and slippage and ensures that the fix­tures will stay where you put them.

DMX-control

All functions of the ARRI L5 are controllable through DMX. The
ARRI L5 is also fully RDM compatible and is equipped with a
feedback channel for reporting all set parameters including
system status.

Fixture menu

For location applications the ARRI L5 is equipped with a fixture
menu for manual adjustment of intensity, color temperature
and plus/minus green as well as hue and saturation (functions
available depending on type).

Unpacking

The ARRI L5 is supplied with:

• Power cable with power plug or bare ends

• Stirrup

• Short 28 mm spigot with 16 mm hole (mounted on
p.o. stirrups)

• Short instructions

Please refer to chapter “Accessories” on page 49 for more in­formation about optional accessories.

Physical Installation

WARNING! Attach an approved safety-cable to
secure the product against clamp or bracket failure.
Lead the safety-cable through the stirrup and keep it
as short as possible. The safety-cable needs to be
approved at least 10 times the weight of the product

Physical Installation

including all accessories mounted at the product.
Secure all accessories mounted at the product with
additional safety-cables to protect them from fall
down and cause injuries and damages.

WARNING! The rigging structure needs to be
approved for at least 10 times the weight of all
devices, equipment and cables installed on it.

IMPORTANT! Do not illuminate the display and the
fresnel-lens by high power light beams from a short
distance. The display and the light engine are dam­aged by high brightness and heat radiation within
very short time.

To adjust the stirrup

You need

• a Torx20 screw driver,

• a 10 mm allen key and

• a torque wrench (37 ft-lbs)

to adjust the stirrup.
On delivery the stirrup is in the basic position (tilted back).

Loosen the Torx20 screws on both sides of the stirrup bracket
slightly and pull the stirrup bracket towards the rear of the pro­duct. Loosen the lever of the tilt-lock and tilt the stirrup
upwards.

Slide the stirrup to the point of balance. The point of balance is
dependent on the accessories mounted at the product. Tighten
both Torx20 screws of the stirrup brackets. Do not overtighten
the screws. Tilt the stirrup to the desired position and tighten
the tilt-lock by using the lever. For better leverage, press the
knob on the tilt-lock-lever and turn the lever to the desired po­sition.

To mount the spigot

Place the spigot and the distance plate on the 13 mm hole in
the middle of the stirrup. Insert the allen screw with washer and
spring washer and tighten it with a torque wrench to 37 ft-lbs
torque.

14

To mount the device

Always observe all safety information listed in chapter “Physi­cal Installation” on page 14 when you mount the product and
accessories:

Be aware of the maximum tilt angle 90° upwards and 90° down­wards.

Ensure that you install all accessories correct when you mount
the product above floor level:

• Top latched locked, safety catch snapped in.

• Set up tripods in a stable position. Tripods need to be ap­proved for the load they need to carry.

• Always observe the additional load of cables and accesso­ries!

ATTENTION! Lateral load can cause deformation or
breaking of the spigot and the stirrup!

Please observe the information given in the „Safety
leaflet ARRI lampheads“ (L5.40731.E), which is available for
download on our web site www.arri.com.

To mount the safety cable at the p.o. stirrup
