City Theatrical 2452 S4 10° SL 10° Top Hat Glare And Spill Control

Top hats give lighting designers, production electricians, and house crews tighter control over where a fixture's output lands. When worn optics or poorly maintained lenses push light into the house or onto scenery, a top hat is a fast, low-cost correction that avoids re-hanging or replacing the fixture.

Listed by City Theatrical for 10° Source Four and Strand SL units, this standard top hat fits theatre, corporate staging, broadcast, and television work where audience members and camera operators should not look straight at a hot lens face. It is a practical fix at front-of-house, side-light, and box boom positions, and a sensible spare to carry in a road kit.

Check lens tube compatibility before ordering. The manufacturer does not recommend using any accessory in 70° or 90° lens tubes because extreme light loss will occur. Related S4 PARNel, S4 Zoom, and S4 14-degree fixtures can also use these accessories, which helps standardize a mixed inventory. Matching accessories across positions keeps the look consistent from the first cue to the last.
