Overview

About the Par 64

The Par 64 is one of the most enduring fixtures in professional stage and event lighting. Built around a 240V PAR 64 incandescent lamp, it delivers a powerful, punchy output that has made it a staple on concert stages, theatre rigs, and touring productions for decades. Available in MFL (Medium Flood), NSP (Narrow Spot), and VNSP (Very Narrow Spot) lamp configurations, the beam character can be matched precisely to the application, from broad audience washes to tight, narrow shafts of light cutting through haze.

Performance & Construction

The Par 64 is a no-frills, high-output fixture. Operating at between 500W and 1000W depending on the lamp selected, it produces a strong, warm incandescent wash that holds up well in large, dark environments. A gel frame is included, allowing standard 190mm colour gels to be used for full colour flexibility without the need for onboard colour mixing. The black powder-coated aluminium or steel housing is robust enough for touring and repeated rigging cycles, and the adjustable yoke provides straightforward mounting to truss or stands. There is no DMX control; the fixture operates via manual on/off switching, typically patched through a dimmer rack for smooth intensity control.

Typical Applications

The Par 64 remains relevant in Australian live event production precisely because of its simplicity and punch. It is well suited to rock and live music concerts where warm, high-intensity washes are preferred, as well as theatre productions where controlled pools of light are needed without the complexity of moving fixtures. It also finds use as a practical fill or backlight on film and TV sets, and as architectural wash lighting for large outdoor events and festivals where haze-cutting beam quality is an advantage.
