Louis sullivan NLS Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hi I have bought some 1kw 'spotlight'(brand) fresnels just wondering what people think of them any tips and where they are best used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Q Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I am a bit confused.... why would you purchase lanterns you do not know where best to use them? I have never bought my own lighting kit, always hired, as I do not have the luxury of storage space, but have always asked advice before hiring kit from the company, explaining the effect I want to create for my designs, rather than getting kit then working out what to do with it.... (I don't mean to have a go at you btw - apologies if it reads that way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis sullivan NLS Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 I got them as they were cheap (person selling them did not kno too much about them and deal was there and then) and it is more stock for me to use as I am always short of 1k fresnels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclights Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I think Spotlight is a brand AC distributes, IIRC maybe what used to be 'Vision'? But, within reason, a fresnel is a fresnel. Use wherever you usually would?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Turner Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hi Louis Niclights is indeed correct; we are the UK distributor for Spotlight.There are 3 mains "families" of Lanterns so to help you find out which one you have....Quadro, All Steel Construction and the budget range that was discontinued a number of years back, (lamp access via top door)Combi, Steel and Aluminum Construction, (lamp access via top door)and Sintesi, the All Aluminum construction (lamp access via removable lamp tray with double pole micro switch) the Sintesi are on par build quality wise with the well know French brand, and the optics on the Combi and Sintesi are also very good. Spares are available (as are Barn doors) from ACContact me off forum for prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
