The ARRI 536200 2000W Tungsten is identified as a professional-grade lighting fixture, most commonly an Arrisoft 2000 softlight used in studios and on location for high-quality, indirect illumination. Unlike a Fresnel light which produces a focused, directional beam, this model uses an internal white scoop reflector to generate a wide, soft, and even wash of light with a broad 73 x 71° beam angle. This design minimizes harsh shadows and produces a flattering, diffused light output ideal for portraiture, interviews, and general area coverage in film and television production.

The fixture is robustly constructed with a durable yoke and a male hanging mount (28mm or 1-1/8" spigot) for flexible positioning on stands or overhead rigs. It is designed for multi-voltage operation, functioning on both 120V and 240V systems simply by swapping the appropriate two 1000W lamps to match the local electrical environment. The unit is passive in its control, requiring an external dimmer system to adjust light intensity from 0 to 100%.

The 536200 model code often refers specifically to the fixture head without a power plug attached, allowing users to fit the necessary connector for their region. It is a workhorse in the industry, valued for its reliability, build quality, and ability to deliver consistent 3200K color temperature light. While highly effective for soft light applications, it is a non-focusing light source and does not accept a traditional lens system like a Fresnel.
