Poet F8 new

450 W 6 Colour LED Fresnel with 12°-80° manual zoom, 200 mm-8" lens, barndoor included

Poet F8 is an 8" (200 mm lens) LED Fresnel that pairs exceptional output and premium light quality with the full Spektra OS feature set, at a price that keeps it within reach.

The Poet F8 features a 450 W, 6-colour LED source that delivers an impressive output of 16,500 lumens. With a manual internal zoom range of 12°-80°, it provides precise focusing, crisp shadows, and excellent beam control, for the same user experience as a classic Fresnel. Combined with the included 8-leaf barndoor, the fixture produces clean cuts without chromatic aberration.

Spektra OS ensures consistent operation and outstanding colour performance, offering a wide and precise CCT range from ultra-warm to cool whites, high intensity, and a CRI of up to 96.8 Ra. It also includes multiple control modes, lamp and gel emulation, and ultra-smooth dimming.

Fixtures in the Poet series also provide enhanced connectivity, with onboard NFC and Bluetooth, optional CRMX, and a large display with an intuitive user interface for standalone operation.

The Poet F8 is built to go beyond everyday expectations, making it a true workhorse for theatre, TV, and trade show applications without exceeding the budget.
