The Beam Projector Spotlight
|
|
The Beam Light or Projector is very similar to fresnel
light fixture but without a lens. The usual Beam light gives
out a very narrow but intense light beam, with a very soft
edge.
The range of beam lights vary from 500 to 2000 watts and
have an open circular front with a diameter of 10- 24”. They
have a parabolic reflector which gives a parallel beam
of light and sometimes functions like a searchlight. It
is a ‘speciality’ fixture especially in North America and Britain
but is used commonly in other European countries.

Lighting designers find it very useful while stimulating
moonlight, sunlight and produces strong beam of light with a round
and very soft edge. The Beam Lights are used as follow spots as they
have a near parallel tight beam of light. The Beam Light is usually
mounted behind the prosecenium arch in a ‘perch’ position and is
excellent for this application.
The common Beam Light available in North
America is 10”-12” diameter with maximum of 1000 watts. The Beam
Projector has a beam spread is of 5 to 15 variable with a 500 to
2000 wattage and gives out a round beam with a soft edge. The kit
includes a power cord with options available of buying a lamp, pipe
clamp, color frame, lens safety mesh and electrical
connector.
