Selecon Asymetric floods: (2 of)
- Not old! - still incredibly popular as of 01/10
- Asymetric! not even spread of light. spread gets better, the further they are from the wall. Remember, big side at bottom.
- Use to light back walls evenly, rather than a large "splodge" of light at the top, and not much at the bottom.
- The above makes them very useful when doing Chroma_key work.
- Lamp access by flipping the catch on top - whole fornt of fixture is hinged to allow lamp change without re-focusing.
- Colourframe located by flipping open the cover at the top. Not the catch! Slide out colourframe from top.

Diffusions & scrims
- Scrim - looks like tracing paper, but made of plastic and not nearly as flamable. Like gels, will melt if touching the glass of a flood. Use this to soften light - you can also put over only some of the fixture (called half scrim) to soften light e.g near to the source only. Very useful, but underused.
Colour Temperature Filters
- 1/2 CTB. Lee 202 or eqiv. Looks grey. decreases output of lower CT's (orangeyness reduction). Makes thing noticeably dimmer.
