Minim

Now, from Rank Strand, a powerful lightweight spotlight for display lighting, in a range of colours, offering instant beam adjustment from spot to flood. No need to change fixed spread PAR lamps to suit the beam to the need; a simple focusing control varies the circular beam between 12 degrees and 50 degrees. A four-leaf barndoor can be added to change the beam edges.

Minim can be ceiling, wall or track mounted and is easily adjustable both vertically and horizontally for accurate positioning of its closely controllable variable beam.
Minim is supplied complete with a 300 Watt 2000 hour, long life TH lamp.
Minim excels in any application: shops, showrooms, salons, museums, studios, theatres, galleries, exhibitions etc., in fact any situation where there is a need for creative display lighting.

Rank Strand, the world's leading specialists in stage lighting, now bring the technology that the Theatre and Television industries take for granted to a wider audience.
