PARCANAccessoriesG clampSafety chainGel frameGelUsesGeneral coverChaseCant control where it goesKnob makes it brighter or dimmerCan be used on a beamA parcan is used for general wash and for its aesthetics. A parcan would be used instead of a Fresnel for general wash. A parcan would generally be used in music gig/concerts/festival. The aesthetics of the light will be why most people choose the parcan over Fresnel's.

LED PAR

AccessoriesG clampSafety chainDMXUsesGeneral coverChaseAn LED parcan is an energy saving parcan. The use of LEDs in the light can change colours on demand via a DMX cable, this is used instead of using a Gel frame with Gels. This will be used over a normal parcan due to it being energy saving and can easily change the colours on demand.

UsesPick a certain areaFor isolating an actor on stage I would use a source four over a flood light. I would choose a source four as it would light up a defined area and its shape can be adapted whereas a flood light would cover the entire stage and wont isolate the actor

PEBBLE CONVEX

AccessoriesG clampSafety chainGel frameBarn doorsUsesGeneral coverAt a stretch you can use a pebble convex as a replacement for a spotlightIn a problem where a profile or spotlight was broke, as a replacement I would use a pebble convex over a selecon. I would use a pebble convex due to its single pebbled lense. A profile has two pebbled lenses so a pebble convex is the closet to a profile. Due to its barn doors the light can also isolate a specific area.
