K5600 Joker
The joker line of units are Daylight balanced HMIs. Introduced in 1999, it has a bare-bulb design where the reflector can be removed and lantern-type chimeras can be used with it. A Joker 800 has an output similar to between 2000w and 5000w tungsten fixtures and it draws 12.5 amps.
The most common sizes we use are 400 and 800.
Specs
We no longer use the silver retaining rings for the beakers as we do not send out our units with the beakers. The silver screws remain, as they are important for jo-leko mounting, but the collar is superfluous.
