What is an Optical Fresnel Lens?
The Fresnel (Freh-Nel) lens is a special kind of lens, developed by French Physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel in the 19th Century. Fresnel lenses consist of a succession of concentric rings etched into glass or plastic. These rings use a combination of total internal reflection and refraction, to focus the light, allowing it to travel over greater distances. Though the Fresnel lens was originally designed for use in lighthouses, they have become a popular tool in the Film, Theatre and Photography industries. Especially if you need your lighting to travel over large distances.
Add More Intensity to Your Lighting.
Due to the nature of Fresnel lenses, the GODOX FLS8 amplifies the light output from the LED light source that it is mounted to by up to 19 times. This is great for times when you need the light from your COB LED Studio Light source to travel over a greater distance. Great for Film and theatrical productions.
Variable Beam Angle.
The spread of the beam put out by the FLS8 Fresnel lens can be adjusted anywhere between 10° and 40°, giving you the ability, to either create a small, controlled pool of light, to a flood of light in your scene.
Solid Construction.
The FLS8 Optical Fresnel Lens has been put together with durability and robustness in mind. Made from high-quality materials, the FLS8 has been designed to ensure that any light leaks are kept to a minimum and is rugged enough to endure professional use.
