Students at American Film Institute Got a Hands-On Experience with CINEMILLS 1200/1800W HMI PAR-NEL

Recently, we conducted a demo of our CINEMILLS 1200/1800W HMI PAR-NEL, at American Film Institute (AFI), and the students got a ‘hands-on’ experience of the fixture.

Also, the test results discovered, during the demo, that the CINEMILLS 1200/1800W PAR-NEL is one full stop brighter output in the flood position, over a major competitor! 


The CMC 1200/1800W HMI was born from the ingenuity of the industry 'stand-by', 1200 watt HMI PAR; CINEMILLS introduces the next generation in high output, 'household' HMI 'big guns'. The 12/18 PARNEL®  is the perfect blend of PAR output and Fresnel focus-ability in one, low cost and convenient product. The CINEMILLS patent pending, PARNEL® reflector was engineered to take your household lighting package to the next level. With a 1200W, single-ended (SE) globe, the PARNEL® gives approximately 1/2 stop of additional output for the same 15 amps of input power required by a traditional 1200W PAR. When the new 1800W, single ended (SE) globe is employed - together with the Power Gems 575/1200/1800W electronic ballast - you get the best power factor correction in the industry, at 17 amps of input power, together with the brightest 'wall power' performance in the CINEMILLS line. The CMC 12/18 PARNEL® is the perfect fixture for low budget or digital content film makers.
