Nanlite Lens PJ-BM-LENS-36 – 36° Tight Beam for Bowens Mount Projector
The PJ-BM-LENS-36 is a dedicated, interchangeable 36° lens designed for the Nanlite PJ-BM Projector with a Bowens mount. It delivers a tight beam that adapts to shooting in smaller spaces while increasing the light output. In addition to greater brightness, the lens expands your creative options for textured backgrounds and precise spot effects.
Key Benefits
- Tight 36° beam: Focuses light for more controlled illumination in confined environments.
- Increased light output: Produces a substantially brighter output than the bare light source, outperforming a reflector and often delivering about twice the brightness of a Fresnel lens.
- Creative shaping: Enables eye-catching textured backgrounds and razor-sharp spot effects when used with the PJ-BM projector mount.
- Durable construction: Built with aluminum to withstand the demands of production work.
- Quick, tool-free swaps: Change projection lenses in seconds by removing a single screw—no tools required.
Why Use This Lens
If you need a focused beam for smaller sets or want to boost the effective output of your projector, this lens delivers. Moreover, it lets you shape light creatively: combine it with the PJ-BM projector mount to craft textures and sharp spots that catch the eye. Consequently, the lens not only increases brightness but also broadens your lighting possibilities on set.
Construction and Handling
The lens and the compatible projection attachment feature a durable aluminum construction. Therefore, they stand up to the rigors of production work while remaining lightweight and practical for regular use. In addition, swapping lenses is straightforward: remove a single screw and replace the projection lens in a few seconds, without the need for any tools.

FAQ
Question: Is the PJ-BM-LENS-36 specifically made for the Nanlite PJ-BM Projector?
Answer: Yes. The PJ-BM-LENS-36 is a dedicated, interchangeable lens for the Nanlite PJ-BM Projector and is designed to mount on Bowens-style projector attachments.
Question: How much brighter is this lens compared to other options?
Answer: The 36° lens provides a substantially brighter output than the light alone. It is far brighter than using a reflector and is often about twice as bright as using a Fresnel lens, which helps when you need stronger, focused illumination.
Question: Can I use this lens to create textures and patterns?
Answer: Absolutely. When paired with the PJ-BM projector mount, the lens enables creative light shaping, allowing you to produce textured backgrounds and razor-sharp spot effects for eye-catching visuals.
Question: How easy is it to change the lens during a shoot?
Answer: Changing the projection lens is quick and simple. You remove a single screw to swap lenses; the process takes only a few seconds and does not require any tools, which saves time on set.
