Compact Fresnel Light
The Compact Fresnel Light (CFL) is a new type of LED for studio, stage and architectural lighting. With a 5.5” footprint, these versatile LED powerhouses draw just 40Watts yet produce up to 2900-lumen output at 96TLCI.
CFL outputs a hard-shadow rendering beam that fades from 100% at center to 50% at the edges, so it is good for mixing and overlapping with other lights while eliminating blinding glare.
Also available in a track mount configurations.
Integrated Zoom
CFL has a smart ring-controlled focus system zooming from 12° to 52° degrees that is manually adjustable by turning the ring on the fixture.

Testimonials
As studio lighting technology has evolved through the years, the Mississippi State University Television Center upgraded fixtures in a piecemeal approach as our limited budget allowed. Over time, this created a studio environment where nothing matched; we were running a combination of incandescent, fluorescent, and early generation LED lighting all on the same sets. This annoyed our shade technicians and producers, all of whom just wanted a consistent color balance and instrumentation quality.
We've known of the remote phosphor technology pioneered by BB&S for several years and at the 2023 National Association of Broadcasters show, we started discussing seriously the possibility of starting over with our studio lighting plot. Working with the BB&S sales team, we identified instruments that met our production and budget needs and designed a new plot for our studio sets. We also made the decision to transition away from 3200K color temperatures and embrace the 5600K lighting available on the market today.
We transitioned to the BB&S lighting in the winter of 2024. The setup and installation were straightforward, and we've been pleased with the look on camera (though I'm still trying to get used to 5600K in person)! Our color temperature is consistent across all areas of the studio set and the light intensity is within ten footcandles. The soft lighting provided by the Reflect series instrumentation is an improvement over the hodgepodge of soft and hard lighting we were used before; it's created a much nicer look for our studio programming.
The build quality of the Reflect series is solid, with a metal housing that feels secure enough to survive a drop from the lighting grid (though I imagine the manufacturer would discourage this). Though we are very early in our lighting experience with BB&S instruments, we have found them to be highly dimmable and significantly more energy efficient than our old instrumentation. We look forward to working with the Reflect series in our facility and anticipate a long relationship with the company.
