Varytec Theater Spot 650/1000 Fresnel

a budget entry into theatre lighting but for the price it is absolutely amazing - after 3 years of nonstop use and transportation still no issues

Great light for the price

Simple and robust light. Better for close lighting, because narrowing the beam loses quite a lot of illumination.

Great fresnel for price

Excellent quality fresnel lantern. These are to replace our ancient Rank Strand Harmony Fresnel lighting fixtures. Decent light output and spread. Good build quality. Nice silicone cable fitted.

Varytec Theatre Spots - Very good value

Bought two Fresnel spots and barn doors for lighting a small touring theatre production.

I needed to be able to light the cast in a number of different locations without spilling light onto a projection screen, so good control of light spread needed. Barn doors were essential for this purpose.

I am not a lighting expert thus cannot compare the performance of these units with others.

However, they did exactly what I needed them to do. There is good range of focus, there was sufficient light density to illuminate the cast from a distance of around 10 to 15 meters, and the quality of the units seems good.

The attachment of the barn doors seemed to be a bit flimsy and imprecise, but again this may be normal as I have nothing to compare it with.

The plugs supplied with th bundle are European - it would have been better to have UK plugs for a UK order.

In summary, these units bought as a bundle with barn doors, plugs and bulbs seem excellent value, did exactly what I needed them to do, and there seems little need to pay more for more expensive branded items.

good light output for the money

had no problems good light for the money and I would recommend them
