Mighty 2Kw Open Face

day-rate

 
If renting this,
also consider:

o extra globe

o broad, smooth, even light

straight-talk:
The Mole "Mighty" open face light delivers a very broad light suitable for illumating large surfaces like reflectors and walls.  At 2000 watts, the Mighty can still be powered by household outlets, but be careful.  Breakers serving the outlet should be rated at 20 amps and there should be no other electrical devices, household or otherwise, on that circuit.

AFT Mighty's are provided without a protective screen to ease globe changes on the set.  When using outdoors or any location where bugs might be attracted to the instrument, always keep a single scrim in front of the light.  You could be charged the cleanup for bug burns on the reflector.

Keep cloth flags, nets, and silks well away from a 2Kw instrument.  They can char and burn!  Use gels and diffusion in 4x4 frames rather than attached to the barn doors

To make the best use of the Mighty (and any high-wattage fixture) with household power, you should have some knowledge of basic electrical calculations and on-set technique.
