FilmGear Apollo 500D LED Fresnel (250mm)

Overview

The FilmGear Apollo 500D LED Fresnel (250mm) is a professional-grade 500W LED Fresnel fixture designed for film, television, broadcast, and studio production environments where high output, colour accuracy, and precise beam control are essential.

Part of FilmGear’s Apollo series, this fixture combines traditional Fresnel light shaping with modern LED efficiency, delivering powerful, flicker-free daylight-balanced illumination. The 250mm Fresnel lens allows smooth and precise beam adjustment, enabling operators to shift seamlessly from a tight, focused spot to a wide flood wash.

With a high colour rendering performance and consistent output across dimming ranges, the Apollo 500D is engineered for demanding professional workflows such as key lighting, fill lighting, and controlled background illumination. Its LED engine significantly reduces heat output and power consumption compared to traditional tungsten Fresnels, making it more efficient and comfortable for long production days.

Built with a durable yoke mounting system and industry-standard connectivity, the fixture integrates easily into studio rigs, truss systems, and professional lighting grids.
