Open-face light fixtures are a hard light that has a lamp which sits in front of a reflector. These fixtures “generally” have no focus beam and use no diffusion to control light spread making them more intense in output and less controllable in beam spread. Accessories such as a barndoor can included to help control the beam. Through the open-face evolution, some of these fixtures were developed with lenses in front of them which could make them considered a closed-face such has Fresnel or Par but they are still considered an open-face because they are manufactured with the same configuration as a non-lensed fixture.
