The Extra-Wide Flood Lens acts as a wash or fill light with a soft edge, while still maintaining an intense centre beam. The lens provides a circular beamspread up to 60 degrees, and is ideal when illuminating an area or surface from a restricted, short-throw distance. For theatrical use, the Extra-Wide Flood Lens allows the PAR to be used as a fill light or set mount to illuminate low-ceilinged areas from tight hanging positions, or as a wash light in small performance spaces. TV/video shoots, meanwhile, will use the Extra-Wide Flood Lens for set washes, where soft-edged coverage is sought for backgrounds.
All of ETC's Source Four PAR versions - EA, MCM, HID and the new MultiPAR batten - can take the new Extra-Wide Flood Lens, which is in stock and shipping now. It also comes with a convenient set of four sizing clips for easy fitting to the PAR (the diameter of the lens is slightly smaller than that of a standard Source Four PAR lens).
