Selecon gives us the following information.

Lens luminaires for the 21st century
From stage wash to dramatic highlight with just one luminaire

Saturated stage colour washes and dramatic highlighting capabilities are the result of combining a high quality, industry standard 150mm / 6″ lens with engineering excellence.

A smarter choice than a Par or Fixed Beam due to superior control and light quality.

Light Speed at Your Fingertips!

Lens luminaires are the simplest and most versatile fixtures with which to creatively light your stage.

The Rama Fresnel’s adjustable cone of light (7º to 50º) has a soft edge with little light scatter, easily blended with adjacent beams to provide even illumination for general stage lighting applications, side, top and back light angles.

Blend / Shape / Soften

A soft-edged beam is the one required most often when lighting the stage – no need for frost filters to soften hard edges or to smooth out irregularities/hot spots in the beam. Shape the light by masking parts of the beam using the four-leaf barndoor accessory which mounts on the front and rotates around the axis.

Passion for Performance

Selecon combines passion for performance lighting with skills in technology and engineering, delivering stage lighting tools for everyone.

220-240V: 1000W/1200W
120V: 575W/750W/1000W

Without a doubt, the Rama is the best performing 6″ Fresnel I’ve ever seen. It has the smoothest, most even field from center to edge of any Fresnel on the market, and I’ve worked with them all.
I’m going to give my customer the best luminaire for the money and the Rama Fresnel is my first choice.
