THE EVOLUTION
Of Authentic ARRI TRUE BLUE Lighting
ARRI TRUE BLUES represent an unprecedented evolution
of the Studio and Location fixtures that have been popular
workhorses for over two decades. Following extensive
research and feedback from lighting professionals around
the world, combined with advances in technology, ARRI
has designed a series of six highly innovative lampheads
with over 30 newimprovements for studio and location
lighting. With reduced weight, compact size and maximum
light output TRUE BLUES set a newstandard for
professional lighting equipment.
New pressure die cast and extruded aluminum components
havereduced the overall weight of the TRUE BLUE fixtures
without anysacrifice in quality or durability. Many
components nowoffer greater strength and resistance to
corrosion.
ARRI’s cross cooling system* reduces lamp housing
temperature by 25% and lens temperature by 17%. With
special air channels built into the aluminum extrusion, a
constant stream of air passes around the Fresnel lens and
into the lamphead regardless of the tilt angle.
At the heart of the TRUE BLUE concept is a redesigned
stirrup and improved tilt lock. The stainless steel friction
disc locks the lamphead securely even with the largest
Chimera or other accessories. Tomakelamphead balance
even easier, the stirrup mounting slides and can be
adjusted to counterbalance all accessories. The new
extruded aluminum stirrup is stronger, lighter and less
bulky but still permits full fixture rotation. Its soft contour
makes it comfortable to carry.
The newStegmaier connector* and strain relief rotate to
allow the cable orientation to be quickly adjusted for
hanging or stand mounting. Improved barndoorsare
stronger,less susceptible to bending and a new hinge
design maintains constant tension that can be easily
adjusted.
Routine maintenance and repair are easier with fast, simple
access to all internal components. Cleaning is made
effortless with smooth lamp housing surfaces.
ARRI has redesigned these new lights down to the smallest
detail, offering lighting professionals better choices for
location and studio work. TRUE BLUE Fresnels from 1000
to 5000W include the T1, T2, T5, ST1, ST2 and ST5.

We’ve named this component for its inventor and the principal designer of
ARRI TRUE BLUES. With this combination connector and strain relief, the
power cable can be quickly reoriented for stand mount or hanging fixtures.
In addition, the connector,along with ARRI’s new lampholder, allows us
to eliminate the interior terminal block.

Stegmaier Connector
ARRI’s cross cooling system moves a stream of air around the Fresnel lens
and through the lamphead. In addition, air is channeled through the
aluminum extrusion housing reducing lens temperature by 17% and housing
temperatures by 25%. Cross cooling allows ARRI TRUE BLUES to safely
operate at almost any tilt angle.

Cross Cooling
Modern fixtures use a wide variety of Chimeras, scrollers and other front
mounted accessories. Simply slide ARRI’sunique stirrup bracket to quickly
and easily adjust the fixture’s center of gravity.
*Due to the smaller size of the fixture, the sliding stirrup is not used on the T1.
Sliding Stirrup
ARRI’s new design creates a positive lock so there’s no slippage when using
heavy accessories. A stainless steel friction disc functions like a disc brake
allowing the lamphead to be completely locked off with a minimum of force.
* Due to the smaller size of the fixture, the friction disc tilt lock is not used
on the T1.

Sometimes simple and reliable is the best answer. The new ARRI spring
loaded Top Latch lifts and turns completely out of the way to load and
unload scrims and barndoors, then pivots back into its locked position.
Top Latch
Finally an easy solution to an old problem. Location crews need space in the
accessory bracket for up to four scrims; studio crews suffer from the light
leak this creates. Now TRUE BLUE accessory brackets quickly adjust for two
or four scrim use.
Adjustable Accessory Brackets
TRUE BLUE fixtures have been designed for serviceability with more common
parts across the line. Removing six universal Torx screws provides easy
access to all interior parts. TRUE BLUES require only three Torx drivers to
disassemble the complete fixture.
ARRI’s new aluminum extrusion makes cleaning fixtures easy and our new
paint process ensures that TRUE BLUES will look as great as they perform.
Maintenance
TRUE BLUE fixtures are
manufactured to the IP23 standard
and are suitable for indoor use or
outdoor use providing a degree of
protection against falling rain (up to
a60˚ angle from vertical).
IP23
NewARRI barndoorsuse a special alloywith a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Although lighter in weight, the leaves in our new design withstand bending
and deforming far better than traditional barndoors. In addition, leaves are
noweasily tightened to avoid slipping and the larger leaf design provides
better control and sharper cutoff.
Barndoors
The laser cut hexagonal safety mesh maximizes light transmission and is
tough enough to withstand location abuse.
Stainless Steel Lens Protection
Easy to carry, ARRI’s new aluminum extrusion stirrup is smooth, incredibly
strong and extremely lightweight.
