U.S.-based broadcast studio lighting manufacturer, PrimeTime Lighting Systems, builds a longer lasting LED Fresnel than other manufacturers. Luminaires are developed with the highest engineering standards and are guaranteed five-years.

PrimeTime CEO, Glen Harn states, “We’re obsessed with superior engineering that results in features like 100% passive cooling.” Broadcast studio sound engineers appreciate the silent PrimeTime LED fixtures. The innovative GUS 51 LED Fresnel broadcast studio light has a super-wide focus range – adjustable from a tight 11° beam angle at full spot to a wide 80° field angle at full flood. Harn added, “We’re focused on super high-spec components like our Micro-Fresnel lens. Our lens system with advanced optics result in the most even wash of light likely to be found in any LED Fresnel, with less than 2.8% decrease in brightness from center to outer edge.”
