The ARRI Orbiter is a tunable LED spotlight designed for productions that need one fixture to cover multiple roles across the day. It uses the ARRI Spectra six-colour light engine (red, green, blue, amber, cyan and lime) to deliver a wide colour gamut, natural-looking skin tones, and calibrated white light from 2,000 K to 20,000 K.
What makes Orbiter especially useful in hire is its changeable optics system. Using ARRI’s Quick Lighting Mount (QLM), the same lamphead can be configured with open-face style optics, a Fresnel lens, projection optics for gobo and shutter work, or soft light accessories. That flexibility helps you move from a precise presenter key to textured set lighting or controlled product highlights without swapping fixtures.
Orbiter draws 400 W nominal power (500 W maximum) and is built for professional rigging with an aluminium yoke, quick release, and a high-strength tilt lock. Connectivity supports modern show and film workflows, including 5-pin XLR DMX in and through, EtherCON in and through for network control, wireless DMX via LumenRadio CRMX, plus USB and SD for updates and expansion. Colour control includes CCT, HSI, individual colour selection, x/y coordinates, gel selection, source matching, lighting effects, and a colour sensor mode for matching ambient light.
For studio-style events, broadcast sets and hybrid productions, ARRI Orbiter hire is a strong choice when your rig needs to adapt fast between looks and formats.
