Product Description (2000+ words optional for catalog — core version below):
The FalconEyes M-500 is a powerful 500W bi-color Fresnel LED spotlight that combines the light shaping flexibility of a Fresnel with the color temperature control and efficiency of modern COB LED technology. Built for professional film and video use, it is ideal for interviews, commercial shoots, music videos, and cinematic work requiring controllable hard light with a natural falloff.
Thanks to its COB (Chip on Board) LED technology, the M-500 produces an intense, consistent output equivalent to a traditional 1.5K tungsten Fresnel. It offers full-range adjustable beam angle from spot (12°) to flood (55°), giving DPs and gaffers the flexibility to sculpt light precisely to the needs of the scene.
The bi-color adjustment from 2800K to 6500K allows seamless matching with both daylight and tungsten sources or practical ambient lighting, without needing gels. The light output remains strong across the full temperature range. Color rendition is accurate and flicker-free, even at high frame rates, making this a reliable fixture for HFR shoots or music video production.
It comes with a built-in yoke for secure stand mounting and features DMX 512 support for remote lighting control on complex sets.
Key Features:
-
High Output: COB LED delivers powerful 500W output, equivalent to traditional 1.5K tungsten Fresnel.
-
Bi-Color Range: 2800K to 6500K variable color temperature for versatile use in mixed lighting environments.
-
Fresnel Focusing: Spot (12°) to flood (55°) beam angle via front Fresnel lens adjustment.
-
DMX Control: Supports DMX 512 for studio and film set integration.
-
High CRI/TLCI: Consistently accurate color for video, with CRI and TLCI above 95.
-
Quiet Fan Cooling: Built-in cooling for extended runtime without overheating, with minimal sound for audio-critical scenes.
-
LED Efficiency: Low power consumption relative to output. Safer and cooler to operate than tungsten Fresnels.
-

For finer control, a four-blade barndoor set is included to control the beam spread to help isolate the subject as desired. The classic U-bracket yoke design allows 90 degree tilting, as well as mounting on a standard 5/8″ stud stand. We must compare COB Led and HMI at same output. Arri M18 could be compared with Falcon Eyes 1600w for example. Comparison is always a bit complex since there are two parameters: the overall luminous flux (in lumen) and the luminance at the centre of the beam (in lux). A very narrow beam can reach an impressive value in lux, but will be unusable because it is too narrow. Even when the angle of two beams is the same, that does not mean the falloff are the same. The latest LED to HMI efficiency appears to be quite similar. We find the M1200 with 1600W COB Output close to as bright as a ARRI M18 for example. COB LEDs are absolutely the future, young DOPs don’t want to use HMI anymore. We offer fast delivery of FalconEyes M-500 units across Thailand – Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, and Samui. Rent it standalone or as part of a complete lighting kit with stands, modifiers, and power options. Our team supports international productions and offers crew and lighting packages for visiting filmmakers.
