Introduction
Thank you for selecting a LED luminaire of the L-Series from
Introduction
ARRI. The L7 is a fresnel-luminaire equipped with a high
precision, micro-processor controlled LED light source. LED
luminaires are much more efficient than light sources with
conventional tungsten lamps. They are a perfect and easy
replacement for conventional fresnel-luminaires with tungsten
or daylight lamps.
The L-Series LED luminaires combine the advantages of the
LED technology with the ease of use of a traditional fresnelluminaire. The L7 integrates seamless into established working
practice. 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 L7 emits white or colored light with adjustable color temperature and adjustable green / magenta saturation. Please
find more detailed information in the section “Specification” on
page 45. The light spectrum is optimized for excellent color
rendition and fulfills perfect the demands of modern, digital
cameras. All models of the L7 can be controlled using the common DMX512-A protocol or the fixture menu.
The L7 can be powered by AC power. Please find more detailed information 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 L7 performs just as expected.
Versatile beam characteristics
The L7 provides the same ability as conventional fresnel-luminaires to cut set elements and shape the beam with barndoors
and flags.
Even light field
Clean, defined shadows have traditionally been a trait of single
source tungsten and daylight fixtures. L7 fresnel-luminaires
provide the same single shadow properties lighting designers
expect, delivering natural results.
Vibrant colors, full spectrum lighting
True-to-life color rendition is an outstanding feature of the
L7, comparable to a full spectrum tungsten source. The fully tuneable white light of the L7-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 L7 does emit nearly no infrared
or UV radiation and thus does not forward heat, making actors
feel comfortable in the light beam.

ment and rapid flood-to-spot with only a few 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 light
beam will stay where you put it.
DMX-control
All functions of the L7 are controllable through DMX. The L7 is
also fully RDM compatible and is equipped with a feedback
channel for reporting all set parameters including system status.

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.

DMX control
DMX mode
The L7 offers, depending on the model, up to 15 DMX modes.
Use the 8 bit modes with basic DMX controllers like dimmer
consoles. The most common modes for operation via DMX are
mode 1 and mode 2.
ARRI recommends the use of the 16 bit modes in combination
with DMX controllers supporting 16 bit resolution to obtain best
results. The high resolution provides smooth dimming and precise color adjustments.
The coarse/fine modes utilize two DMX channels for most parameters and provide higher resolution compared to the 8 bit
modes in combination with DMX controllers that do not support
16 bit resolution. One channel sets the coarse value of the
function which is divided in 256 increments using the fine channel.
The setting can be changed any time using the rotary knobs of
the fixture menu.
White and RGBW
This mode provides control of intensity, color temperature, +/green and individual channels for controlling the red, green,
blue and white color.
White
Simple white-only mode. It is used when the number of available channels of the DMX controller is very limited. It provides
control of intensity, color temperature and +/- green.
White & HSI
Provides control of intensity, color temperature, +/- green, hue
and saturation (HSI = hue, saturation, intensity). In HSI mode
the color and intensity is very even over the fixtures as it is controlled using color algorithms which take the tolerances of the
light engines into account during calculation.
RGBW
Simple mode for controlling the overall intensity and the red,
green, blue and white intensity when only a limited number of
DMX channels is available.
HSI
Simple mode for controlling hue, saturation and intensity when
only a limited number of DMX channels is available.
Please find a detailed description of all modes in chapter
“DMX Protocol” on page 34.
Note: Depending on the selected DMX mode the channels required for each product should be allocated in the DMX controller to provide independent control of all products connected to
the controller. Please allocate the maximum number of channels, which is 14 in DMX mode 6.

DMX data link
Tips for a reliable data transmission
For controlling the L7 via DMX you need a DMX data link.
The L7 has 5-pin locking XLR sockets for DMX and RDM data
DMX data link
input and output. The default pin-out of both sockets is:
Pin 1 = Shield
Pin 2 = Data - (cold)
Pin 3 = Data + (hot).
Pins 4 and 5 are not used by the L7 but are bridged between
input and output sockets. These pins can therefore be used as
a pass-through connection for an additional data signal if required.
Pin 4 = Data - (cold)
Pin 5 = Data + (hot).
The limitation of 32 products per data link is not applicable for
the L7. You must not connect more than 256 products per data
link. Depending on the channel requirements the address
space of a data link (512 channels) may not be enough to control all products connected. You may set more than one product
to identical DMX addresses to obtain identical behavior. For independent control every product needs to be assigned an individual address range.
If you need to control more products individual, you need to set
up additional DMX data links.
• Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices
or CAT 6 network cables: standard microphone cable cannot
transmit control data reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is
suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.). Heavier gauge
cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs.
• To split the data link, use a DMX splitter. Use an RDM compatible splitter when you use the RDM functionality.
• Install a DMX termination plug on the last product of every
DMX data link. Terminate the DMX data link on both ends,
when you use the RDM functionality. Ask your system specialist for details.
To connect the data link
• Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the data
input (male XLR) of the L7.
• Run the data link from the data output (female XLR) to the
data input of the next product.
• Terminate the data link by connecting a 120 Ohm, 0.25 Watt
resistor between the data 1 hot (+) and cold (-) conductors
(and between data 2 hot and cold if used) at the data output
of the last product on the link.
