Power Gems at Cine Gear 2017

Join the Power Gems team at Cine Gear 2017 filmmaking expo held at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, CA, June 2-3.

We’ll be launching two new ballasts:

  • A battery-powered high speed ballast – operates on AC too
    Power Gems debuts a HMI ballast which operates on both AC mains and battery power. The EB180PD could be the most useful bit of kit you have: it can drive 6 different lamp types using universal AC mains 95V to 265V, and battery power from 48V to 60V.
  • One ballast to power ARRI, Dedo, Kobold and K56 HMI fixtures
    Visitors to stand 123A on New York Street can get a first look at the EB57P a high speed ballast for use with low-powered fixtures. A single EB57P will power 200W, 400W and 575W ARRI, Kobold, Dedo and K5600 fixtures. All from one power supply.

The new ultra-versatile ballasts are based on the tried-and-tested Power Gems technology.

Key features of Power Gems ballasts

  • Wide range of output power options.
  • 1000Hz output for high speed filming.
  • Auto scan feature available for 9kW and 18kW lamp running.
  • Built in compensation of lamp cable volt drop.
  • Slide-in power modules for easy maintenance.

The latest additions set a new standard for high speed ballasts, while maintaining the tradition of putting the best technology into the hands of professional filmmakers.
