100/200 Watt Molequartz In-Betweenie Fresnel

The 100 and 200 watt Molequartz InBetweenie Solarspot Type #3101 with circular channel construction for added strength and more efficient airflow, resulting in cooler operation. Less heat on the fixture and lower seal temperature of the globes for longer life. Focusing knobs on the front and rear for focusing from spot-to-flood for a smoother even field. Curved yoke allows for a steeper lighting angel. The top clip is standard on all InBetweenies, allowing for barn doors, frames and scrims to be held more securely. For use in Motion Picture, Television and the Still Photographic Industries as a key-light, back-light or kicker.

Mole 5k Par Type 6741

We recently used this new light on the setup for American Idol.  We recently had the chance to use this new light on a setup for American Idol.  The lighting designer originally spec'd for 10k fresnels with super crank stands going through diffusion frames, but we suggested replacing those with these much smaller and lighter 5k pars that Mole just introduced.  We got the same light output as the 10k's but saved time, manpower and money as they were much easier to rig.  The design called for 4x4 diffusion but a chimera can also work nicely for this fixture.

 

Lightweight fixture only 29lbs.

Easily raised on highboy stand by one person

Here's one recently being used on the set of American Idol in Boston

 

This fixture is based on the design characteristics of the popular Type 6641 2.5/4K DayLite Par, but using a conventional 5,000 watt incandescent source. Unlike traditional 5K luminaries, the Tungsten Par uses a specifically designed General Electric 5K Tungsten Halogen lamp intended for Axial Operation. By placing the lamp on its side and using a highly polished Parabolic reflector, the Tungsten Par is able to achieve output comparable to a standard 14 inch 10K Fresnel. When used with the interchangeable lenses, the field of light can be adjusted for optimum beam control. In addition to the standard, on-board 5K switch and the 60 amp stage connector, the fixture has visual and tactile focal indicators to determine lamp position. Equipped with a safety screen and compatible with all existing 13 inch accessories.
