BenEdwards Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Hi, we have a few Minim PCs but want something with a tighter beam. Was wondering how tighter the Strand prelude 16/30s beam was. Any other suggestions for fixtures with tighter beams which are cheap (we are a community venue) would be great. Ben
Gerry Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 A minim PC has beam angles from 8 deg to 52 deg, so at 8 deg it is a far tighter beam angle than a prelude 16/30 which only goes down to 16 deg.Have a look at http://www.stagepoint.co.uk/Lantern_Guide.htm for beam angles of various lanterns.Not many with less than 8 deg beam angles.CheersGerry
Shez Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 You are comparing apples to oranges a bit though - a PC spills a fair bit of light outside of its stated beam angle whereas a profile doesn't.
gyro_gearloose Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Also, a profile will take an iris so you can make the beam as small as you like.
