Product Description
Overview
The FDL-1000 is a 1000 W symmetric flood light for stage, venue, and broadcast wash applications where even area coverage matters more than a cyclorama gradient. It uses a J-type linear R7S lamp, anodized aluminum reflector, 5.0 mm safety glass, and a ribbed aluminum body with die-cast side panels for a durable conventional flood package.
Why It Matters
The 1000 W FDL is for larger wash zones and longer throws where the 500 W body would feel underpowered. It keeps the CYC / FDL construction language but uses a symmetric reflector for even flood coverage rather than a cyc gradient.
Key Features
- J-type 1000 W, linear R7S, length 189.1 mm lamp format with R7S ceramic lampholder gives maintenance crews a familiar tungsten platform.
- Anodized aluminum, symmetric flood reflector distribution produces a flood-style area wash rather than an asymmetric cyc spread.
- 5.0 mm safety glass and heat-resistant matt black epoxy powder paint suit sustained stage use.
- Hinged access door simplifies lamp swaps and gel loading, with microswitch protection on the ÜV version.
- Interlocking side panels support neat ground-row or multi-fixture layouts when used with the CYC / FDL family.
Applications
Built for stage washes, ground-row uplight, broadcast set lighting, venue area fill, school stages, and black-box rooms that need a rugged tungsten flood output.
Compatibility
Pairs with the matching BDR-1000 barndoor and YL-1500 flexible linking yoke in the KUPO CYC / FDL accessory family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose FDL or CYC for a backdrop?
Choose FDL for a symmetric flood wash or area light. Choose CYC when the job needs an asymmetric cyclorama gradient.
When does the 1000 W flood make sense?
Use the 1000 W model for longer throws, larger wash zones, or scenes that need more tungsten output.
Can I add barndoors?
Yes. Use the matching BDR accessory size for the wattage family to trim spill at the fixture face.
