Lighting is one of the most powerful tools for creating atmosphere. Whether it’s a wedding, live show, or nightclub event, good lighting can turn a simple moment into something unforgettable.

🌟 BSW200 — The World’s First Ultra-Compact Hybrid Spotlight with 2.5× Zoom

If you’ve ever been to a live show, a wedding, or even a small club gig, you’ve probably felt it:
that moment when the lights change — and the entire atmosphere shifts.

Lighting doesn’t just brighten a stage.
It creates emotion, builds focus, and transforms a simple event into a memorable experience.
But for many DJs, event planners, and small venues, professional lighting can feel too complicated, too expensive, or just too heavy to manage.

You don’t want to spend hours setting up multiple fixtures just to get a few clean effects.
You want something powerful, easy to use, and flexible enough to adapt to any event.

That’s exactly why we created the BSW200 — the world’s first ultra-compact hybrid spotlight with 2.5× zoom.

What Those Lighting Terms Actually Mean

Professional lighting often sounds intimidating — “Zoom,” “Gobo,” “Prism”... but these aren’t hard to understand.
Here’s what they really mean and what you can do with them 👇

1. 🔍 Zoom = Make the Light Bigger or Smaller

Think of Zoom like a flashlight:

• When it’s tight, the light becomes a sharp, narrow beam.
• When it’s wide, it spreads out to light up a bigger area.

👉 One light can go from a single spotlight to covering the entire stage in seconds.

Beam · Wash · Spot = Three Looks in One Light

Term	Easy Explanation	Real Use
Beam	A narrow, bright light — like a laser	Concerts, clubs, effects
Wash	A soft, wide light — like warm ambient lighting	Weddings, theaters, backdrops
Spot	A focused light that can show patterns	Logos, shapes, center stage

👉 Normally you’d need three different fixtures. The BSW200 does it all.

Gobo = Light with Patterns

Inside the light is a small metal or glass plate with shapes cut out.
The light shines through it and projects those patterns onto walls, floors, or through fog.
Think stars, rings, or even your logo.

👉 Perfect for weddings, branding, or adding personality to your stage.

Prism = One Beam Becomes Many

A prism splits one beam into multiple beams and makes them spin.
It looks like light is exploding or swirling in the air, creating a big, dynamic effect.
The BSW200 uses a tri-facet rotating prism for immersive, 3D looks.

Frost = Make the Light Soft and Dreamy

With a frost filter, the light beam turns from sharp to soft.
It’s like switching from a spotlight to a warm lamp.

👉 Ideal for elegant weddings, smooth transitions, and atmospheric scenes.

LED Strip = Extra Glow Around the Fixture

This built-in LED strip doesn’t light the stage — it lights the light itself.
It adds a sleek, modern glow around the fixture, giving your rig a futuristic look.
