The FDL-500 is a 500 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 500 W FDL is the modest-wattage flood for shorter throws and smaller spaces. It is useful when a venue wants clean area coverage without specifying more heat and power than the room needs.
Key Features
J-type 500 W, linear R7S, length 119.1 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-500 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 is the 500 W flood enough?
Use the 500 W model for shorter throws, smaller spaces, and tighter power budgets.
Can I add barndoors?
Yes. Use the matching BDR accessory size for the wattage family to trim spill at the fixture face.
