ARRI UPGRADES TO L-SERIES PLUS A RRI has launched the next generation of its L-Series Plus, an improvement on its existing L-Series LED fresnels. Offering up to 90% more brightness with direct network connectivity, the L-Series Plus provides a host of new benefits while retaining popular features such as continuous focus, a homogeneous light field and complete user control over colour and intensity. An alternative to tungsten fresnels, ARRI’s original L-Series appealed to eco-minded users, with the LEDs significantly reducing power draw. It also boasted precise control over colour temperature, with white light fostering more realistic results across skin tones. ARRI’s L-Series Plus LEDs come with either a five- or seven-inch fresnel lens. Despite being about the same size and weight as the original models, they provide a much stronger output. The lights also blend self-cooling properties with a discreet, silent fan, ensuring shoots go uninterrupted. Compatible with existing L-Series accessories, Plus fixtures will be available from June 2024.
