Overview

The ETF-T12 is a 5° top hat for S4 5° fixtures, made to block direct view of the lamp face while allowing the beam to pass. Its matt black cylindrical snoot reduces glare, visible scatter, and front-of-fixture spill in rigs where the fixture faces audience, camera, or reflective scenery.

Why It Matters

A 5° fixture is usually doing long-throw, high-visibility work. The top hat keeps the lens face from becoming the thing the audience notices before they notice the special.

Key Features

• 5° top hat body helps hide the lamp and lens face from common audience and camera sightlines.
• Matt black paint minimizes reflection from the accessory itself, keeping the spill-control part visually quiet.
• Full-cylinder shape gives even glare reduction around the fixture face.
• Host-specific fit keeps the accessory tied to the fixture family instead of relying on a generic snoot.

Host Fixture

Designed for S4 5° fixtures. It provides glare reduction, beam shaping, and light-spill control at the fixture face, with the top hat format selected according to the sightline and spill direction.

Applications

Useful for theatre front light, balcony positions, galleries, camera-facing fixtures, worship spaces, and event rigs where the audience can see into the fixture or where front spill needs to stay controlled.

Compatibility

Use with S4 5° fixtures; match the fixture body and accessory size before substituting across Source Four, LEKO, PAR, or Selecon-style equipment.
