The F10 Fresnel is the first industry-standard 10-inch Fresnel made for modular Bowens Mount fixtures. With its wide 250mm (9.84in) glass Fresnel, the F10 both immensely intensifies the output of a point-source LED, but also results in a quality of light lighting technicians will find similar to a Tungsten 5K or Studio 2K.
Intensely bright output. When paired with the LS 600d Pro, the F10 Fresnel eclipses Studio 2K Tungsten lights, and approaches the intensity of 5K Tungsten fixtures at flood. With a combined flood output of 11,440 lux and spot output of 29,300 lux at 3 meters, the 600d Pro and F10 Fresnel even compete on par with higher-powered HMIs.
Dual-optic design. Matching the unique design of the Fresnel 2x, the F10 Fresnel utilizes a two-stage optical system to maximize light output. Utilizing a rear aspherical focusing element, the F10 Fresnel optimizes the output of an LS 600d Pro to fill the front Fresnel Element, resulting in up to 340% additional output in Flood mode.

Customer Reviews
I love the F10 Fresnel, but I found a few screws to have been missing from there place. I found them loose in the fresnel case, but was only able to put one in its proper place as the other screw did not fit anywhere. So a screw where the flag attachment goes is still missing. I reached out to Stephanie at customer service and she suggested I buy the screws at a local hardware and they could reimburse me.
Also a piece of the build that holds the glass in the front seems to be slightly bent. This is the piece that was missing the Phillips screw. However even after putting the screw in, the metal bends slightly upwards. I’ve included a side by side comparison of how it pushes up. I wouldn’t want this to compromise the glass in the future.
For me this is a reflection in quality control, which really surprises me since Aputure products seem to always reflect great QC. Anyway, didn’t ask for reimbursement and didn’t bother returning it, especially since they are not always in stock. I’m still waiting for the barn doors.
The website says they are compatible with the 1200d, but I had an overheat issue and the light shut off at 100%. If you do use this on a 1220d, save/rest the head between downtime so it can cool. Just my advice. Future variants might need more ventilation in order to pull it off perfectly.
This Fresnal is amazing. I love extra push of light I can get out of my 600x. I also am a fan of harder lighting. This gives me the look I like from a lighting source punching through a 6x6 with a 50 degree grid. This also turns the 600x into a classic film light and makes it useful outdoors and to use to create splashes of light coming from outside a window. Well done Aputure!
Good acesory
We think this Fresnel attachment looks great when used with the 600 series Lightstorm fixtures. Aputure is using the Bowens mount standard across the line and it would be great of every accessory was optimized across the line, however with this Fresnel in particular the output when used in conjunction with the 1200 series is much less than expected. For us one weak spot in our inventory has been a great 'larger' LED Fresnel, Aputure comes close with this attachment.
