Cant control where it goes
Knob makes it brighter or dimmer
Can be used on a beam
A parcan is used for general wash and for its aesthetics.
A parcan would be used instead of a Fresnel for general wash. A parcan would generally
be used in music gig/concerts/festival. The aesthetics of the light will be why most
people choose the parcan over Fresnel's.
3. LED PAR

Uses
General cover
Chase
An LED parcan is an energy saving parcan. The use of LEDs in the light can
change colours on demand via a DMX cable, this is used instead of using a
Gel frame with Gels. This will be used over a normal parcan due to it being
energy saving and can easily change the colours on demand.
5. SOURCE FOUR SPOTLIGHT
Accessories
G clamp
Safety chain
Gel frame
Shutters built in
Uses
Pick a certain area
For isolating an actor on stage I would use a source four over a flood
light. I would choose a source four as it would light up a defined area and
its shape can be adapted whereas a flood light would cover the entire
stage and wont isolate the actor
9. PEBBLE CONVEX
Accessories
G clamp
Safety chain
Gel frame
Barn doors
Uses
General cover
At a stretch you can use a pebble convex as a replacement for a spotlight
In a problem where a profile or spotlight was broke, as a replacement I would use a
pebble convex over a selecon. I would use a pebble convex due to its single pebbled lense.
A profile has two pebbled lenses so a pebble convex is the closet to a profile. Due to its
barn doors the light can also isolate a specific area.
