Tungsten Fresnel Range
Photon Beard manufactures a complete family of Tungsten Fresnel luminaires for use in both the studio or ENG applications.
The entry point is the 300W MiniBeam. The newest additions to the Photon Beard Tungsten range are the PhotonSpot luminaires. These start with the 650W (shown here), which will also accept a 300W or 500W lamp. Launched in early 2007, this projector has proved extremely popular with its lightweight construction and superior light output. The range was later extended with the addition of the 1kW 2kW and 300W Fresnel.
All Photon Beard Tungsten heads feature our unique Anti Surge technology that limits the inrush current on cold switch on. This helps to reduce the stress on the lamp filament and leads to improved lamp life.
MiniBeam
- Fresnel Spotlight 300W
A very compact and versatile fresnel spotlight, which is equally useful in the studio and on location, with a wide focus ratio (6:1) and a beam angle from 15-60 degrees.
UK version includes 300W lamp, with easy lamp changing by quick
release lamptray. Power input is by 6 metre cable with in-line switch (fused on EUR version).
PhotonSpot 650W, 1kW & 2kW Cub
- Fresnel Lens, Focus Floodlight
Introducing a brand new range of tungsten Fresnels, which complement our studio lighting portfolio. The new products offer Photon Beard's customary dependable design and construction coupled with an innovative application of lamp technology and optical design.
The lamp heads are manufactured from aluminium extrusions and aluminium sheet for low weight, quicker cooling and compact size, and come complete with pole operated focus as standard. 
Why is the PhotonSpot range better than other Tungsten Fresnels?
- The robust lamphouse is made entirely from aluminium extrusion and sheet, so there are no annoying pings and creaks as it warms and cools. Speaking of which, the superior convection ventilation means it runs cooler than other diecast types.
- The lamp carriage runs on rollers, not slides, and is driven by a reliable rack and pinion mechanism for ultimate smoothness and zero backlash.
- The focus control is by pole-op cup and incorporates a friction clutch, so clumsy pole operation will not damage the focus mechanism. Access to the lamphouse is via a sliding top cover running in rails. How often have you come across a bent hinged cover, which either won't close or won't lock?
- And our lock is positive and made for single-handed operation, right by the insulated tilt handle on the back. Most spotlights have spring-loaded accessory locks, usually made of flimsy alloy. Ours are steel, they won't snap off.
- Naturally the beam quality and focus range are also excellent.
