Zoom-Profilscheinwerfer
Explanation:
In stage lighting technology, a "profile spotlight" projects a focused circle of light. With the integrated zoom optical system the circle's diameter can be adjusted.

By additional blinds it is possible to re-shape the light circle so that a rectangle, triangle etc. can also be projected. So-called "gobos" can be inserted to project irregular shapes, logos etc.

Stativscheinwerfer aus Profil(stahl), Scheinwerfer mit profiliertem Stativ


Explanation:
"beam profile" kann in zwei Arten gedeutet werden:
1) Profilbalken (z.B. aus Profilstahl)
2) Strahlprofil

spotlight =
1) Scheinwerfer
2) Stativscheinwerfer
wegen der Kombination mit "beam profile" scheint der Stativscheinwerfer gemeint zu sein
