Product Description

Approved American National StandardEntertainment lighting luminaires usually have much narrower beam spreads than other luminaires. This Approved Method describes a standard procedure by which entertainment lighting luminaires, specifically designed for use in the theater, TV environment, film studios, or on-location shoots, can be measured.
