Standard Half Top Hat for Short Source Four, Strand SL, Shakespeare, Pacific Ellipsoidals (19-50º)

Professional designers know that Half Top Hats can provide better performance than Full Top Hats. That’s because when a Full Top Hat is inserted into a lighting fixture, the bright source of the light is hidden, but the interior of the top hat is lit up brightly. By using a Half Top Hat rotated with its full side toward the viewer, that bright interior disappears and the lighting fixture can no longer be seen.

Note: We do not recommend the use of 5” long accessories in 50° lens tubes. Loss of light will occur. We do not recommend the use of any accessory in 70° or 90° lens tubes. Extreme loss of light will occur.
