What is the main difference between a Fresnel lantern and a PAR can?

The main difference lies in the beam angle and light distribution. Fresnel lanterns have a wider beam spread, providing a soft and diffused light, ideal for theater and film lighting. On the other hand, PAR cans have narrower beam angles, producing more focused and intense beams, making them suitable for highlighting specific areas or objects.

What are the different types of PAR?

PAR bulbs come in various types, identified by their numbers. Common types include PAR16, PAR20, PAR30, and PAR38, where the number indicates the diameter of the bulb in eighths of an inch. Each type has its unique beam angle and application, allowing for versatile lighting solutions.
