[3" (Scrim)] This is my first excursion into the world of serious studio lighting. For my simple home studio for selling my glass art on ETSY, this was the perfect investment. The size and weight are suitable to a lightweight stand & arm. The small lens keeps glare to a minimum, working in a confined area. The focusing action by itself makes a noticeable difference - the barn door and snoot are well-made and indispensable for my needs. More power would have been nice, but with my setup, I do not think it would be worth the extra size, weight and heat with the 300 watt model - maybe for larger subjects and/or more general purpose applications, but that's not what I currently do. I am very impressed with the construction, glad I didn't skimp on some flimsy cheaper unit.

[Yes] I use these Arri Fresnel light for short films, music videos and interviews. They are light weights and easy/smooth to focus.

[12 to 42°] This is the perfect hairlight. Of course it works for lots of other things as well, but I got it specifially as a hairlight because it works so well. Also, it's incredibly well made.

[12 to 42°] This is a great kit for basic location video set-ups. I use it for everything from product shots to interviews. The lights, stands, and other components included are good quality and sturdy. The case is solid and there is room to add another light or other parts as you need. Very impressed.

[120 VAC, 60 Hz] Very versatile little light. Heats up but thats generally not a factor. Good for subtle background lighting or highlighting hair. Can use it for product shots too, a little more predictable than flash. Quality item, as always from Arri. No matter how enamored you are of your strobe equipment, you need at least one of these.

[150 W] Great addition for a lightweight travel interview lighting kit. I use this primarily as a hair light or to add interest to a background. You can't beat the light quality from a fresnel lens. You always need at LEAST one hard light in your interview kit. 150w isn't that bright but perfect for talking heads interviews. The ability to spot and flood the light as well as shape it with barn-doors is essential to having a hard light. If you can't afford the Dedolight 150 (which is brighter than this light but roughly the same size) this is the light for you.

[3200K] Im starting a production company and I needed perfessional lights that wont let me down. Well this light is perfect as a key with a gel on it or even as a hair light.

[3200K] In addition to use it for photos, this light brings sunshine to my living room in cold and cloudy days. Arri ESP 150w is Ushio ESP 150w (MFG Code 1000362) with an Arri label. Ushio ESP is about $10 on the internet. GE ESP 150w does NOT fit, the contact points are about 2mm longer than Ushio and cannot be used for this light.

[150 W] light works great. I would recommend getting a snoot for more control. Light is even. Solid construction.

[Yes] This light is great for backgrounds, hair light, or just a low watt Hollywood key. Always in my kits.
