The ARRI Apollo is a 6 kW daylight HMI Fresnel with a large 420 mm lens. It provides hard, directional light with a crisp shadow or a wide flood up to 58°. Productions use it to simulate sunlight through windows, supplement daylight on exteriors and light up large spaces.
Powered via an external ARRI ballast with VEAM connector, dimming in the range 50–100%. IP23 rating allows exterior work. The head weighs approx. 27 kg, so it requires a heavy stand and operation by several people.
