Description
The Showtec ACT Fresnel 150 RGBAL is a compact theatrical LED Fresnel designed for soft, colour-rich wash lighting with professional control and flexible manual adjustment. Using a modified 280W RGBAL COB LED light source, it delivers a bright, smooth beam with a wide colour range, high colour rendering and practical output shaping for stage, studio, performance and venue lighting applications.
Although positioned as a 150W class RGBAL Fresnel, the fixture uses a modified 280W RGBAL LED source to optimise colour output and maintain a high CRI. This allows the ACT Fresnel 150 RGBAL to produce a broad palette of colours while still retaining accurate colour rendering for people, scenery, sets, fabrics and display environments. The fixture has a CRI of 93, making it suitable for applications where colour quality matters, rather than simply producing a basic coloured wash.
The RGBAL colour engine gives lighting designers access to red, green, blue, amber and lime LED colour mixing. This provides greater colour flexibility than conventional RGB or RGBW fixtures, particularly when creating warmer tones, softer pastels, natural whites and more refined theatrical colours. The adjustable colour temperature range of 2700K to 10000K also makes the fixture useful where variable white light is required alongside saturated colour effects.
The manual zoom range of 14°–36° allows the beam to be adjusted from a tighter Fresnel-style spot through to a wider wash. This gives the fixture useful flexibility across different rigging positions and stage layouts. The circular field angle ranges from 23° to 53°, helping create a soft beam edge and even wash characteristic that is well suited to theatrical and presentation lighting. Output is listed at 7665 lux at 2m, 3407 lux at 3m and 1226 lux at 5m, giving strong performance from a compact LED Fresnel.
Control options include DMX, RDM and manual operation. The fixture supports 5, 8 and 12 channel DMX modes, allowing it to be integrated into both simple and more detailed lighting control systems. RDM support helps with remote fixture management in compatible systems, while the onboard OLED display and control buttons provide direct access to local settings. Manual dimmer and preset colour controls are also included, making the unit practical for standalone use or quick local adjustment without a full DMX setup.
The ACT Fresnel 150 RGBAL includes smooth 0–100% dimming and a 0–25Hz strobe function. A 16-bit dimmer resolution supports more precise intensity control, which is useful for theatrical fades, scene transitions and applications where smooth dimming is important. The fixture also has a 17kHz refresh rate, supporting camera-friendly operation in many video and performance environments.
A barndoor and colour frame are supplied with the fixture, giving users immediate control over beam shaping and accessory placement. The barndoor allows spill light to be controlled at the fixture, helping shape the output onto stage areas, set pieces, presenters or scenic elements. The colour frame provides a practical holder for suitable filter material or diffusion where required.
The housing is made from aluminium and finished in black, providing a professional stage-ready appearance. The fixture is designed for indoor use with an IP20 rating and includes a mounting bracket with safety attachment point. Power is connected via Power Pro input and output connectors, and DMX is provided on 3-pin XLR input and output connectors. Cooling is handled by convection and axial fan operation, with listed noise levels from 33.5dB to 59.8dB depending on operation.
The Showtec ACT Fresnel 150 RGBAL measures 362 x 220 x 343mm without accessories and weighs 5.9kg. Its compact size makes it practical for theatre rigs, small studios, multipurpose venues, production spaces and installed lighting systems where a colour-mixing Fresnel is required without the heat and maintenance demands of traditional lamp-based fixtures.
For customers looking for a compact RGBAL theatrical Fresnel with refined colour mixing, high CRI, manual zoom, DMX/RDM control and included beam-shaping accessories, the Showtec ACT Fresnel 150 RGBAL is a strong professional option. It combines the familiar soft output of a Fresnel fixture with modern LED colour flexibility, making it a practical choice for stage, studio, venue and performance lighting systems.
