Shutters are mechanical louvre units fitted in front of fixtures to control and shape the beam without altering the lamp itself. The Darkvader Jaluosie range, available in 300mm, 350mm and 430mm formats, alongside the 200mm Eclipse Wybron, offers a choice of aperture sizes to suit different luminaires and throw distances. Each unit is controlled via an XLR4 connection, allowing precise, repeatable adjustment of light output from a lighting desk or dedicated controller.
Within a Film & TV Lighting workflow, these shutters are used to fine-tune barn-door style cuts, dim intensity mechanically, or blend multiple fixtures without visible colour or temperature shift, which is useful when consistency across shots matters. They suit studio setups, on-location film work and live production environments where remote, motorised control of hard-edged light shaping is required alongside standard dimming and gel-based colour correction.
