straight-talk:
The FAY might be considered a poor man's HMI.  It delivers the same daylight balanced punch as an 2K HMI by using a lot more wattage.

The 9-light FAY has nine 650watt par bulbs for a total of 5850watts of daylight balanced light, delivering as much as 720 foot-candles of daylight-balanced light at 20 feet.  The two side columns can rotate to adjust the spread and intensity of the instrument's light pattern.

Place a 1/4 diffusion gel in front to reduce multiple shadows.

Keep cloth flags, nets, and silks well away from a 2Kw instrument.  They can char and burn!  Use gels in 4x4 open frames.

Each of this fixture's circuits draws 1950 watts.  If powering from a home/business, plug each circuit into a separate branch circuit without any other load.

This FAY light actually uses an FBE globe.  The FBE is identical to the FAY with the exception of screw contacts instead of ferrule.

To make the best use of the FAY light (and any high-wattage fixture) with household power, you should have some knowledge of basic electrical calculations and on-set technique.
