Desisti 4000W Par Auction

Buy with confidence.

With over 100 transactions (many of them over $2000.00) I have 100% positive feedback.

Financing is now available for this item. Inquire for details.

An industry workshorse, the Desisti 4000W Par is ideal for a wide range of film and video production applications. The fixture's compact size (smaller and lighter than the LTM, Arri, Altman Pars) and superb optical performance make it especially suitable for location lighting applications. It is one of the brightest light that you can plug into wall outlets (see below for details). Used in conjunction with our 7500W modified Honda EU6500is blimped generator, this Desisti 4k Par can serve as the backbone of a powerful HD lighting package - making it an indespensable part of any small truck or van lighting package for High Definition production.

As long as there is a sun and moon in the sky you will need a large HMI, like this Desisti 4kw HMI Par, on interior and exterior sets because small HMIs, Kino-Flos, & LED panels do not come close to balancing direct sunlight in day light exteriors or covering deep background in night exteriors. A dual wattage 4/2.5kw Par like this Desisti is ideal for creating powerful daylight fill on exterior sets, to create the feel of hard sunlight on interior sets, or to light deep background on night exterior sets. Not only does the Par configuration give you more output but this light is also extremely versatile. When you need a lot of light for fill on day exteriors you can lamp it with a 4k globe. It will cut a crisp window pattern on a Daylight Interiors with it's interchangeable Frosted Fresnel Lens. And, when you do not need the punch of a 4k Par, like on a night exterior, you can swap the 4kw globe for a 2.5kw globe giving you more power to run additional lights on a portable generator.

State of the Art Dual Wattage Desisti Flicker Free Electronic Ballast
with Power Factor Correction

The 15 Amps you save by burning the smaller 2500W globe will power quite a few more lights when you consider that a Kino Flo Parabeam 400 uses only 2 Amps. For example, it is possible to power a lighting package that consists of 1200, & 800 HMI Pars, a couple of Kino Flo ParaBeam 400s, a couple of ParaBeam 200s, and a Flat Head 80, in addition to this Desisti HMI Par off of our modified Honda EU6500is Generator (see below for details.) Given the light sensitivity of HD Cameras, this is just about all the light you need to light a night exterior.

4k & 1.2ks HMI Pars powered from 30A/240V dryer outlet through step-down transformer/distro for Bose product demonstration video.

Like the Arri System pictured here, this Desisti 4k Par will operate at 120V or 220/240. The 120V feature of this Desisti ballast will allow you to operate a 2500W or 4000W light off of common household outlets with our 60A Full Power Transformer Distro (pictured here with an Arri 4k Par). The Power Factor Corrected Ballast that comes with this Desisti 4k Par makes it the brightest light that you can safely plug into wall outlets without the need for a tie-in or generator. It is a great light for low budget HD feature production for this reason. Use this link for more detailed information on operating 4ks on wall outlets. Please call 781-326-5088, Ext 5# with questions on how this works. If you miss us, call back. We will not return long distance calls or explain how this works by email - you must call.

This system was a sales demo and has only a few hours of burn time on it and is sold with the following accessories: dual wattage 2500/4000W Electronic Ballast, 60A Bates Power Cord, four leaf barndoors, a 25 ft. Head Cable, standard 4pc scrim set, standard 4pc lens set, additional frosted fresnel lens, lens case, and head case (Bulb not included). As a retailer of motion picture lighting equipment, we can sell you a bulb if you need one. When you compare to what a new system costs (lists for $18'680.00, sells for $12'825.30 at B&HH Photo) you can see what a deal this is at such a low opening bid. At this price this light is sure to sell at this auction - so don't snipe. Bid early and lock in your price before some one else does. Bid with confidence. With over 100 transactions (8 of them over $2000.00) I have 100% positive feedback. This item is offered with a 30 day money back guarantee.

ScreenLight & Grip has developed a special production package we call the "HD Plug & Play Package" (HD P&P Pkg.) For our HD P&P Pkg. we have picked lights that offer both the highest output (lumens/watt) and the most feature style production capability and combined them with proprietary distribution technology we have developed that enhances the production capability of the new Honda Inverter Generators.

Our 60A Full Power Transformer/Distro provides 7500 Watts of power in a single 120v circuit
from the new Honda EU6500i Generator
Until now, to power HMI lights over 1.2kw or Quartz lights over 2kw required a large diesel movie generator. Movie generators are not only expensive to rent, but they come with hidden costs that usually break the budget of independently funded HD projects. Our HD P&P Pkg. takes advantage of technological advances to power HMI lights up to 6kw or Quartz lights up to 5kw off of wall outlets or the new generation of portable Honda Inverter Generators.

Our modified Honda EU6500is with our Transformer/Distro can power
the PFC 2.5 & 1.2 HMI Pars, PFC 800w Joker HMI,
Kino Flo Flat Head 80, 2 ParaBeam 400s, and 2 ParaBeam 200s of our HD P&P Pkg.
By eliminating the need for a tow generator in order to have feature style production capability, our HD P&P Pkg. saves you the expense of not only the generator, but also the added expense of a rental house grip truck and truck driver required to tow it. Use this link for more details about our HD Plug & Play Package.

Call (781) 326-5088, or contact us at rentals@screenlightandgrip.com for more information. Or, use this link for an informative newsletter article that explains the electrical engineering principles that make it possible for our system to oeperate bigger lights, or more smaller lights, on portable generators than has ever been possible before. This article is cited in the 4th Edition of Harry Box's "Set Lighting Technician's Handbook" and featured on the companion website "Box Book Extras." Of the article Harry Box exclaims:

"Great work!... this is the kind of thing I think very few technician's ever get to see, and as a result many people have absolutely no idea why things stop working."

"Following the prescriptions contained in this article enables the operation of bigger lights, or more smaller lights, on portable generators than has ever been possible before."
