ARRI M90 EB MAX Set pairs the M-Series M90 open-face HMI PAR head with an EB MAX 6/9 electronic ballast for high-output daylight on film...
Key, fill and backlight for an interview or studio set travel in a single wheeled case with the SWIT PL-E90D 3KIT. The package holds three 90 W bi-colour LED soft panels with on-board DMX512, three lighting stands with a 70–223 cm range, three AC-DC mains adaptors and the trolley case itself. A two-person crew can unload, stand and power a complete three-point setup without opening a second box.
Buying the heads as a matched trio matters more than it first appears. Each panel uses the same edge-lit optical stack: 480 SMD LEDs ring the inner frame and feed a light-guide glass etched with laser dots, which turns their sideways output forward through 90°. Every face glows evenly across a 70° beam, measured at half intensity, and reads 2200 lux at its centre from a distance of one metre. Since all three units share that construction, key and fill give exactly the same quality of light, and the backlight differs only in where you place it.
SWIT rates the colour rendering at TLCI 99, alongside a CRI Ra of 98. On a broadcast or corporate job, that means skin tones needing almost no correction, and a multi-camera edit where cutting from the wide shot to the close-up reveals no tint difference between sources.
Warm-white emitters at 2700 K alternate with cool-white ones at 6500 K, giving each head a stepless 2700–6500 K range. Turning the colour knob moves in 50 K increments; one press switches it to five fixed stops, from 2700 K through 3200, 4500 and 5600 up to 6500 K. Pressing the intensity knob likewise swaps between 1 % and 10 % steps, and PWM dimming runs from zero to full output without flicker on camera.
With three heads on set, those stops make it quick to warm the backlight to 3200 K for a touch of separation while key and fill hold 5600 K to sit with window daylight.

Every panel has a DMX512 input and through port on 5-pin XLR and occupies two addresses, intensity first and colour temperature second, so the whole kit fits into six channels on a lighting console. Chain the heads, keep the intensity knob pressed for two seconds to set a start address between 001 and 512, and the trio recalls cue by cue on a talk-show set, an awards evening or a webcast from a company auditorium. DMX cables are not part of the package.
Where no desk is on site, the CH interaction mode links the panels directly. A two-second hold on the colour knob puts a head into it. Once the three units are cabled together and share a CH number, a twist of one unit's knob carries the other two along. Giving the backlight its own CH number keeps it separate while key and fill dim as a pair, a sensible split for a lone operator on a corporate interview.
A rear LCD on each fixture shows intensity, CCT, which DMX or CH channel is in use and how much battery is left, so checking all three settings before a take means a quick walk past the stands.
Each head takes 11–36 V DC on a 4-pin XLR input. Every panel ships with a V-Mount battery plate as standard, SWIT also offering a Gold Mount version, while the three supplied adaptors handle mains work. Batteries are sold separately. Running on packs, the kit can light a car showroom, a university lecture hall or a museum room filmed after closing time without a single cable across the floor. On mains, the three heads add up to roughly 270 W of LED load, a modest figure for one wall circuit.
The housings are all-metal and cooled passively. No fan runs inside, so the sound recordist has nothing to filter out of a quiet room tone, even with three heads working close to a seated guest. Each panel hangs in a U-shaped bracket that drops onto the stand spigot, and SWIT quotes 50,000 hours for the LEDs.
Light shaping can be added later. Two optional SWIT accessories fit the PL-E90D frame: the LA-HE90 barn doors, with four metal leaves, and the LA-GE90 honeycomb grid, which narrows the spread to 40°. Both are sold separately. Fitting the grid to the key alone stops light washing over a chroma backdrop, while the fill stays fully soft.
Rated IP20, the panels are meant for interiors or sheltered locations; rain-exposed exteriors need proper weather protection.
For a production house, standardisation is what the SWIT PL-E90D 3KIT really buys. Three identical heads mean one set of spares, one prep checklist and a lighting plot that can be rebuilt the same way for every client. For a rental desk, one kit number covers a complete interview package that leaves and returns as a unit. With TLCI 99 output and DMX on board, it serves location interviews as readily as a small permanent studio for podcasts, webinars or corporate video bulletins.
