About the Showtec Followspot HMI 1200
The Showtec Followspot HMI 1200 is a followspot powered by a 1200W HMI lamp in an R7S socket, offering a variable beam angle of 9 to 13 degrees controlled via zoom and iris functions. It ships with three dichroic colours, a white setting and a blackout option, plus a heavy-duty bracket for mounting.

Showtec Followspot HMI 1200 — buyer FAQs
What is the Showtec Followspot HMI 1200 and what does it do?
The Showtec Followspot HMI 1200 is a professional followspot built around a 1200W HMI lamp in an R7S socket. It provides a variable beam angle of 9 to 13 degrees through zoom and iris controls, and includes three dichroic colours, a white setting, and a blackout option. A separate ballast unit powers the lamp, keeping the head lighter and allowing more flexible rigging arrangements.
Who makes the Followspot HMI 1200 and where does it fit in the Showtec range?
Showtec is a professional lighting brand owned by Highlite International, based in Kerkrade, the Netherlands. The range covers stage and entertainment lighting for rental, club and installation markets, spanning LED pars, theatre spots, moving fixtures, special effects and DMX controllers. The Followspot HMI 1200 sits in the higher-output end of the range, using a discharge lamp and a separate ballast rather than a self-contained LED or halogen design.
What electrical connections does the Showtec Followspot HMI 1200 ballast use?
The ballast accepts mains input on a Neutrik PowerCon connector, running at 220 to 230V AC at 50Hz with a T10A/250V AC fuse. It delivers 1200W at 100V and 13.8A to the fixture head through a six-pole multiconnector. The head and ballast are linked by this dedicated output connector, so the correct mating cable and connector type should be confirmed when buying a used unit.
What should I check when buying a second-hand Showtec Followspot HMI 1200?
Confirm that both the head and the separate ballast are included, along with the six-pole multiconnector cable that links them. Check the condition of the Neutrik PowerCon input on the ballast and verify the lamp is present and functional, as HMI lamps have a finite life. Weights of 14.4 kg for the head and 16.32 kg for the ballast make handling significant. Used listings on this page carry a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults; full detail is in the buying guide at 10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide/.
