Overview
The FS-500 is a 500 W / 650 W Fresnel spotlight for medium-throw theatrical top light, back light, and area key positions. Its high-tensile aluminum body, die-cast end pieces, concentric-ripple Fresnel lens, front-and-rear focusing knobs, and hinged lamp tray give crews a classic tungsten fixture with practical service access.
Why It Matters
The smaller Fresnel is the practical size for shorter-throw top light, back light, and compact venue positions. It gives the classic soft edge without bringing the weight and heat of the larger body.
Key Features
- T18/500 W or T26/650 W lamp options with GY9.5 socket lampholder give the fixture a familiar tungsten output for venue maintenance.
- Concentric-ripple Fresnel lens produces a soft, feathered beam edge that blends naturally for top light and back light.
- Lampbase spacer, 500 W to 650 W lets crews change the wattage configuration without changing fixture bodies.
- Front and rear screw-pole focusing knobs give precise spot-to-flood adjustment from either side of the fixture.
- Friction disk yoke lock with heat-resistant bakelite knobs holds focus position under working stage temperatures.
Applications
A strong fit for theatre grids, studios, school stages, worship spaces, black-box rooms, and venue inventories that need classic Fresnel beam quality and serviceable tungsten construction.
Compatibility
Use with the matching KUPO Fresnel accessory family, including BDR-FS05 for FS-500 and BDR-FS10 for FS-1000; choose PS-1000 when a harder Prism Convex beam is preferred.
