Top hats solve two recurring problems on a lighting plot. Fixtures with poor optics or poorly maintained lenses can throw light into the house or onto scenery, and a bright lens visible to the audience or a camera is a distraction in theater, corporate, and broadcast work. Placed in front of the lens, this accessory addresses both, giving designers and electricians a quick fix at focus time without changing the fixture itself.
It suits lighting designers, production electricians, and venue technicians working on touring rigs and repertory plots where fixtures get refocused often. The manufacturer lists compatibility with Source Four, Strand SL, Shakespeare, and Pacific fixtures in the 19-50° range, with additional notes covering S4 PARNel, S4 Zoom, and S4 14-degree units. Verify fit against your fixtures before ordering.
Know the limits before you buy. Accessories 5" long are not recommended in 50° lens tubes because light loss will occur, and no accessory is recommended in 70° or 90° lens tubes because the loss of light is extreme.
