Product Information

Full details

The Amaran Spotlight SE 36 Degree Lens is for photographers and videographers using compatible Bowens Mount point-source fixtures (up to 300W) who need to illuminate larger areas with a soft, controllable light. Its key benefit is transforming a spot fixture into a wider, more even light source for diverse shooting scenarios. A minor caveat is its specific compatibility with the Spotlight SE, limiting its use with other fixtures.

FAQs

What lights is this lens compatible with?

This lens is designed for the Amaran Spotlight SE. When used with the Spotlight SE, it is compatible with Bowens Mount point-source fixtures up to 300W.

How do I change the beam focus?

Focus is adjusted using the retaining screw located on the body of the Amaran Spotlight SE accessory.

Can I use this lens with any Bowens Mount light?

No, this lens requires the Amaran Spotlight SE accessory, which then mounts onto a compatible Bowens Mount light fixture (up to 300W).

What is the main advantage of the 36-degree lens?

The 36-degree lens provides a wider and more even illumination spread compared to narrower lenses, making it ideal for lighting larger areas or subjects.

Is this lens suitable for close-up work?

Yes, while it offers a wider beam, the ability to focus and shape the output means it can still be used for close-up applications where a softer, more spread-out light is desired.

How do I clean the lens?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials to protect the lens surface.

Can I swap this lens for other beam angles?

Yes, the Amaran Spotlight SE system is designed for interchangeable lenses, allowing you to easily swap between different beam angle options.

Troubleshooting

Light output is uneven or dim

Ensure the lens is fully and securely attached to the Spotlight SE. Check that the Spotlight SE is properly mounted on the light fixture. Verify the light fixture is powered on and set to an appropriate brightness level. Ensure the focus is adjusted correctly via the retaining screw.

Lens is difficult to attach or remove

Make sure there are no obstructions or debris around the mounting points. Ensure you are aligning the lens correctly with the Spotlight SE. If stuck, do not force it; check for any misalignments or foreign objects. Gently wiggle the lens while attempting removal.

Beam shape is not as expected

Adjust the focus using the retaining screw on the Spotlight SE body. Experiment with the distance of the light source from your subject or background, as this also affects beam spread and sharpness.
