The Aputure Spotlight Max 36° Lens is the mid-angle interchangeable lens for the Aputure Spotlight Max projection modifier, giving lighting crews a controlled beam that sits between the tighter 19° lens and the wider 50° lens. Available in Canada from Filmgear Canada, Vancouver’s pro video lighting and cinema lighting equipment specialist. This is a lens-only accessory; the Spotlight Max housing is required and is not included. Use it when the housing needs a practical balance of throw, coverage, and projection control for high-output Bowens Mount fixtures.

Product Overview

The Aputure Spotlight Max 36 Lens is a lens-only accessory for the Spotlight Max system. Aputure’s Spotlight Max platform is a Bowens Mount projection modifier for high-output point-source LEDs, with 19°, 36°, and 50° lenses available to match the beam angle to the scene. The 36° lens is the middle option, giving crews a more open field than 19° without moving all the way to the wider 50° look.

The Spotlight Max system is compatible with high-output fixtures from LS 600d Pro and LS 1200d Pro through Electro Storm CS15 and Electro Storm XT26. The parent Spotlight Max system uses precision optical design for even edge-to-edge distribution and minimal edge fringing, and supports accessories such as A/B-size gobos, a dual-layer iris, and an optional ETC lens adapter when used with the complete housing. This page is for the 36° lens only, so buyers should match it with the correct Spotlight Max body.

How It Compares

Choose the Aputure 36° Lens for Spotlight Max when the shot needs a balanced beam spread from the Spotlight Max housing. Choose the Aputure 19° Lens for Spotlight Max for a tighter, longer-throw projection, or the Aputure 50° Lens for Spotlight Max when the projection needs to cover a larger area.

If the kit is missing the housing, compare against the Spotlight Max Kit with 36° Lens. If the creative need is changing the beam diameter without swapping lenses, add the Aputure Iris for Spotlight Max to the Spotlight Max workflow.

Compatible Accessories and Related Gear

For a complete projection setup, pair this lens with the Spotlight Max housing or a complete kit. Filmgear also carries related Spotlight Max items such as the Aputure Spotlight Max 10-Piece Gobo Kit Size A for texture projection and the Aputure Iris for Spotlight Max for adjustable circular beam control.

Who Is This For?

This lens is for cinematographers, gaffers, studios, theatres, event teams, rental houses, schools, churches, and production companies using Spotlight Max for controlled projection lighting. It suits interviews, narrative scenes, music videos, product work, stage design, and background breakup where the beam should be controlled but not extremely narrow.

Who Should Choose Something Else?

  • Choose the 19° Spotlight Max lens for tighter long-throw projection or smaller pools of light.
  • Choose the 50° Spotlight Max lens for a wider projected field in shorter spaces.
  • Choose a complete Spotlight Max kit if you need the projection housing as well as the lens.
  • Choose original Spotlight Mount accessories if your modifier is the older Spotlight Mount system rather than Spotlight Max.
