Ep. 4 - The LTM Luxarc 200W Fresnel aka Bonzai | The Old School Lighting Show by The LA Firm

Ep. 4 - The LTM Luxarc 200W Fresnel aka Bonzai In this episode, we fire up the LTM Luxarc 200W HMI Fresnel, better known to old-timers as the “Bonzai.” Compact, punchy, and unmistakably French, this little beast packed serious daylight output into a form factor that looked more like a toy—until you saw it in action. Paired with the infamous Alimarc magnetic ballast (a unit so heavy it doubled as gym equipment or a boat anchor, depending on the day), the Bonzai was a favorite for tight spaces and location work when you needed real HMI output without dragging around a 575. It buzzed, it rattled, it cooked your fingers—but when dialed in, it sang. And those who used one never forgot the hum. *** The Old School Lighting Show is a little idea that Nick Zgradic of The Lighting Architectural Firm (aka The LA Firm) had because it's always fun to look back at some of the lighting and related gear that we've used throughout the years in the studio and production business. And the reality is, in many aways there's nothing stopping anyone from using this "old school gear" in today's productions either. As a matter of fact in a lot of ways, using the old school stuff just might make your pictures look better than you thought they could... sometimes... If you're willing to put in the extra work and wear hot gloves while you're doing it. Regardless of if you want to use the old stuff, the new stuff or a combo between the two, I hope you watch these short video diaries and enjoy them as much as I do making and sharing them. It's a fun and simple way to take a break and appreciate the tech that paved the way to where we are and what we use today.
