About: Altman Studio Fresnel 65Q
A lightweight, short-throw, all-purpose lighting device, the 6" fresnel produces a soft- edged beam varying in diameter from 4.2 feet to 21 feet at a throw distance of 15 feet.
The 65Q is designed for operation with long-life, high-intensity tungsten-halogen lamps. The luminaire is used in theatre for acting area lighting where beam shaping is not required, or in television studios for key and back lighting. Other uses include nightclubs, museums and show windows where soft-edged controlled lighting is required.

Pros:
Affordable, pre-wired, excellent beam quality, silicon cord
Cons:
the reflector is a little on the dainty side
Comments:
The Fresnel, a very popular luminaire,(pronunced "Frennel" after the French inventor) has a very defined and controllable beam due to the ridged and stepped concentric circles on the lens. This allows more light to be projected over a shorter distance (originally designed for lighthouses), and also has a nicer, softer beam as opposed to a simple wash light. The small size of the fixture provides as much illumination as a lamp twice its size. The yoke and stirrup is sturdy and holds in place well. It is light enough to put on a stand, however, if you want to. A threaded spud or yoke to stand adapter will be needed, of course. Barn doors can be purchased seperately for even greater refinement. I did find the interior reflector a little on the dainty side, but really, comparable fixtures will run you $500 and up - a fair trade I'd say. Exact specifications of beam paramaters can be found on The Altman website.
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
