Applications
Fresnel spotlights like the Strand Century 3501TV are a cornerstone of professional stage and studio lighting. The Fresnel lens produces a soft-edged, even beam that blends smoothly with adjacent fixtures — making it ideal for key lighting, fill lighting, and wash lighting on stage and in television studios. Strand Century was a leading American manufacturer of theatrical and broadcast lighting equipment, and the 3501TV was specifically intended for TV production environments where a 2000W source was needed for sufficient output on camera. These fixtures are still widely used in working theaters, live event venues, film sets, and educational performing arts programs, and are compatible with standard dimmers and lighting control systems. The 120–240V voltage range makes this fixture suitable for both North American and international electrical systems.
This Strand Century 3501TV (Castor 270) 2000W Fresnel stage light is in good used condition. The Fresnel lens and internal mirror are clean, and the beam-spread adjustment operates as expected. The black housing shows normal wear consistent with professional stage or studio use — some surface scuffing is visible on the body and yoke in the photos. A bulb is included. The light was sourced from a large supplier of professional AV equipment. Please review our photos and contact us with any questions.
