ARRI M90 is an open-face HMI PAR lamphead that uses ARRI’s lens-less MAX Technology facetted reflector. The optical concept yields a dense 5600K daylight beam with a clean, readable shadow edge, and beam changes happen at the focus knob instead of swapping spread lenses. Focus is continuous from 15° to 49°, so the same head can shift from long-throw backlight and tight window shafts to broad washes for cycloramas, large greenscreens and exterior ambience.

The lamphead supports single-ended metal-halide lamps at 6,000 W or 9,000 W on a GX38 base, protected by UV safety glass (500 mm diameter). ARRI specifies cross-cooling for sustained output, with a maximum operating ambient of 40°C and a maximum surface temperature of 200°C. Dual-side tilt locks stabilise heavy front accessories, and the specified tolerable inclination is 90° upward or downward, useful on condors, truss and studio grids.

Photometrics with a 9 kW lamp define the working envelope: at 10 m the M90 reaches 51,000 lux at 15° with a 2.7 m beam diameter; at 30° it measures 14,450 lux (5.2 m); at 49° it measures 7,590 lux (8.3 m). At 20 m, the spot still delivers 12,750 lux. This headroom supports “sun” backlight, long-lens daylight keys, stadium-scale accents, and high-contrast night exteriors where consistent daylight colour is required across multiple cameras and takes.

In a system context, ARRIMAX M90 pairs with ARRI electronic ballasts such as EB MAX 6/9 for 50–100% dimming, cable-length compensation via CCL (Compensation of Cable Losses), and square-wave drive for flicker-managed high-speed capture (AutoScan up to 1000 Hz, ballast dependent). The IP23 rating supports work in light rain, sea spray and set atmospherics. Ballast options can add DMX/RDM control, and the head can also run on 6 kW lamps and ballasts. Protective class is Class I. Observe ARRI’s safety distances: 10 m to the illuminated surface and 2 m around the luminaire.

M-Series M90 with MAX Technology “Punches above its weight!”
Like all M-Series lampheads, the M90 is equipped with MAX Technology, a unique, patented reflector technology that unifies the advantages of Fresnel and PAR fixtures. The unit is open-face and thus very bright; in fact the light output produced with a 9,000 W lamp comes close to the output of a 12 kW PAR fixture with lens. The unit is focusable from 15° up to 49° just by turning the focus knob, producing a remarkably even light field and a crisp, clear shadow. The elimination of spread lenses speeds up the workflow on set.

The M90 closes the gap between M40 and ARRIMAX 18/12. Furthermore, the MAX Technology reflector functions perfectly with 6,000 W and 9,000 W lamps assignable to their similar size.

Due to the superior housing and the state-of-the-art Cross-Cooling concept the M90 has a very compact design close to the dimensions of the ARRISUN 60. Together with the innovative electronic high speed ballast, EB MAX 6/9, this combination represents the state-of-the-art daylight system for high quality images at high frame rates. Both, ballast and M90 are equipped with a CCL module (Compensation of Cable Losses) enabling full power, which is maintained all the way to the lamp, even using very long cables. This ensures uniformly high light output independent from cable length.

The system of M90 lamphead and EB MAX 6/9 is highly efficient. When it comes to the dimensions it is comparable to a 6 kW PAR system, whereas the light output comes close to a traditional 12 kW PAR (with lens) - it punches above its weight! For outdoor use, the M90’s IP23 protection rating allows the lamphead to withstand rough wheater conditions, even driving rain.

Main Features
- Light output matches a 12 kW PAR (with lens)
- As small and lightweight as a 6 kW PAR
- Can also be used with 6,000 W (120 V nominal) lamps and ballasts
- Tilt locks on both sides for the use with heavy accessories
- Easy maintenance
- Weather resistant IP23
- Suitable for high frame rate images
