Overview

The BDR-500 is a 4-leaf barndoor for KUPO CYC-500 / FDL-500 fixtures, built to shape the wide wash from a cyclorama or flood light without adding separate flags. Its foldable, adjustable leaves mount at the fixture face, giving crew a practical way to hold top spill, side scatter, and unwanted light off nearby scenery.

Why It Matters

CYC and flood fixtures are meant to throw broad, even light, which also means spill can travel farther than expected. A correctly matched barndoor gives that wash an edge, making it easier to protect masking, legs, upstage surfaces, and camera-sensitive areas.

Key Features

• 692 x 266 mm outer dimensions match the 500 W KUPO CYC / FDL accessory size instead of forcing a near-fit from another fixture class.
• Four foldable leaves shape the wash at the fixture face, useful for top cuts and side containment on cyc rows.
• Adjustable blade direction gives crew more control when fixtures are used on the floor, overhead, or at an oblique angle.
• Matt black finish reduces reflections around bright flood and cyclorama fixtures.
