Overview
The CYC-500 is a 500 W asymmetric cyclorama light for theatre, broadcast, and venue backdrops that need an even wash without obvious scallop or hot spot. Its aluminum extrusion body, die-cast side panels, anodized aluminum reflector, 5.0 mm safety glass, and R7S ceramic lampholder form a rugged tungsten cyc fixture for ground-row or overhead use.
Why It Matters
The 500 W version makes sense for shorter throws, smaller stages, and venues watching power budget closely. It still gives the asymmetric CYC distribution, but without specifying more wattage than the backdrop actually needs.
Key Features
- J-type 500 W linear R7S lamp format gives the fixture a familiar lamp platform for theatrical maintenance teams.
- Asymmetric anodized aluminum reflector spreads light across the cyc instead of throwing a normal front-facing flood pattern.
- 5.0 mm safety glass front panel and ribbed aluminum body support sustained use in hot stage environments.
- Hinged access door simplifies lamp changes and gel loading, with microswitch protection on the ÜV version.
- Interlocking side panels support continuous ground-row arrays across a backdrop or cyclorama.
Applications
Built for theatre cycloramas, broadcast background washes, school stages, black-box venues, and studio scenery where a wide surface needs smooth tungsten coverage from a row of matched fixtures.
Compatibility
Pairs with the matching BDR-500 4-leaf barndoor and YL-1500 flexible linking yoke in the KUPO CYC / FDL accessory family.
