There are multiple options for lighting equipment in APS. These kits do not require proficiencies, but as with all other APS checkouts, they do require an APS workorder. APS equipment is typically restricted to students in media-centric classes/programs and ILC's/SOS's. Before requesting equipment from APS, please familiarize yourself with APS policies and procedures here.
Contents
SAFETY
Please exercise caution with all lighting equipment checked out from Media Loan. The lights can get extremely hot and most require a lot of power.
When using lighting equipment from Media Loan, ALWAYS:
- Use gloves to protect your hands
- Tape down wires/cords to prevent tripping hazards
- Weigh down heavy stands with sandbags
- Plug lights into grounded outlets
- Use gloves/hand protection when changing lamps (bulbs)
DO NOT:
Touch hot lights without proper hand protection
Touch any lamp (bulb) with your bare hands
Expose lights to water
Expose lights to extreme weather/temperatures
Lamp (bulb) Changing
It is extremely important that you never touch any lamp with your bare hands. You hands are covered in oils that can get onto the lamp. Once this oil heats up, there is a high risk of the lamp exploding. If you ever need to change a lamp with these light kits, cover your hands with a glove or clean cloth. Every kit should come with spare lamps in the case. If you need help changing a lamp, please call APS (x5506) or stop by during open APS hours.

The Arri 1000 Watt Focusing Flood Light is designed for a wide range of film and photographic lighting applications. The 1000 provides beam angles of 65° in the flood position and 24° in the spot position.
Each fixture will throw a beam of 695 footcandles 4.3 ft (1.4 m) in diameter, @ full spot, from a distance of 10 ft (3 m). It will provide a beam of 145 footcandles 13 ft (4m) in diameter @ full flood, from the same distance.
This is a three light, 3000 watt, 120 volt kit, including barndoor sets, bulbs, scrims, light stands and a wheeled case. Thermoplastic housing keeps relatively cool
