City Theatrical 2468 SL 5° Half Top Hat Lighting Accessory

Lighting designers choose half top hats when sightlines matter. A full top hat hides the lamp, but it also lights up its own interior, and that bright ring pulls attention to the fixture. A half top hat avoids the problem. Rotate the full side toward the viewer and the bright interior disappears, so the fixture can no longer be seen from that angle.

This size is matched to the SL 5° entry in the City Theatrical sizing chart, which makes it a practical choice for theaters, performing arts venues, and touring productions running narrow-beam SL fixtures. Production electricians can hang it as a finishing accessory when the goal is a clean stage picture and a rig that stays out of the audience's view.

Check the lens tube before specifying. City Theatrical does not recommend accessories in 70° or 90° lens tubes because extreme light loss will occur. For projects that need other finishes or custom parts, the manufacturer takes inquiries by phone, so confirm details before ordering against a production deadline.
