James Simpson reviews the BTM Series, including the 50W Mini Fresnel, a 100W full-colour model, and a 250W fixed warm-white unit . . .
The brand BeamZ has only crossed my radar in the last few years, primarily due to its strong presence at trade events such as PLASA Show, where the company presents an enormous catalogue of products capable of lighting almost anything – from theatre to live music and beyond. Recently, I’ve taken a growing interest in manufacturers targeting emerging markets, where budgets are tight and purchasing decisions must be made with long-term value in mind.
So, when BeamZ asked if I would review its BTM Series of theatrical Fresnels, I was genuinely excited. Not only is this a product category I enjoy testing, but it was refreshing to see a company with plenty of eye-catching fixtures choosing instead to highlight a less glamorous, but far more essential, part of its range.
For this review, BeamZ kindly loaned three fixtures from the BTM range in different sizes and configurations, allowing me to evaluate how the range performs as a whole.
