Baby spot

Also known as baby Fresnel, baby solarspot.

Traditional set-lighting slang for a small Fresnel spotlight, commonly in the roughly 500-to-1,000-watt tungsten class.

In practice

Naming varies by manufacturer and region, so crews should call the actual fixture model and lamp rating when electrical load or photometrics matter.
