The KUPO PS-1000 is a 1000 W / 1200 W tungsten prism convex spotlight in the same classic theatre fixture family as the FS Fresnel models. It is built for medium-throw top light and back light where a robust tungsten body, manual focus, and a more defined prism-convex beam are preferred.
Why It Matters
Prism convex fixtures sit in a useful place between broad soft wash and sharply controlled profile work. PS-1000 gives lighting crews a durable tungsten fixture with convection cooling, secure gel-frame handling, precise screw-pole focusing, and the cleaner edge associated with prism convex optics.
Key Features
1000 W / 1200 W tungsten lamp class suits medium-throw theatre and venue lighting positions
Prism convex lens gives a more defined beam character than a Fresnel fixture of the same family
High-tensile aluminum extrusion and high-pressure die-cast aluminum sections balance durability and weight
Ribbed body and meshed top plate support convection cooling during operation
Front and rear screw-pole focusing knobs provide precise manual beam adjustment
Applications
Use it for theatre top light, back light, studio tungsten looks, venue repertory rigs, and medium-throw positions where a prism convex beam is more appropriate than a softer Fresnel wash.
Compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the prism convex version different from a Fresnel?
A prism convex lens gives a more defined beam character, while a Fresnel generally gives a softer feathered edge.
What lamp class is this fixture built around?
The specification lists PS-1000 for 1000 W / 1200 W tungsten use.
Why mention the bakelite yoke knob?
Bakelite provides heat resistance at the yoke lock, useful on a tungsten fixture that runs hot during operation.
