Recognized for 'advancing IP weather protection in a quality automated fixture,' the Best Debuting Product accolade was presented at an awards ceremony on Saturday, 24 October on the LDI show floor. On hand to receive the award were Elation Professional sales director Eric Loader and ADJ Group president Toby Velazquez. "It was a great show for us, our new products were very well received, and we were thrilled for the recognition that Proteus received at the awards ceremony," Eric Loader stated.
"To win a product award right out of the gate combined with the positive response and feedback we received from customers over the three days shows to us that we are on the right track with this new IP-rated outdoor moving head technology. We are set to finish the year strong and enter 2017 even stronger."
Featuring a sophisticated yet pragmatic design, Proteus are compact, robust and budget-friendly next-level intelligent lighting solutions designed to unleash creative vision and excel under any conditions. They drew a steady stream of interest at the Elation booth and were also featured during live entertainment on the LDI Live Outside stage.
Alongside Proteus, Elation displayed a broad line-up of other innovations highlighted by the world premiere of the Artiste DaVinci, a full-featured, high output yet extremely compact LED moving head spot luminaire in the company's new Artiste series. A newly designed 300W LED engine (over 13,000 lumens) with advanced zoom optics is at the heart of this enhanced performance and energy efficient luminaire.
Other fixtures drawing interest were the new seven-colour Platinum Seven LED wash luminaire along with the debut of the Platinum 1200 Wash, a full-colour LED moving head wash light with the power of a 1500W discharge fixture. The Fuze Series of dynamic LED wash lights and the DTW Series of variable white LED lights continued their popularity while Elation's creative high-resolution LED display panels, the EVHD Series, were both discussion and decorative highlights of the booth. The Rayzor 360Z, a compact and fast beam/wash moving head luminaire with (3) 60W RGBW LEDs, zoom, and full 360° pan and tilt rotation, was also a hit.
"LDI is always one of the highlights of the year for us and this year was no exception," Loader concluded at the end of the busy three days. "It not only gives us the chance to connect and reconnect with customers and industry friends but it serves as an important platform to communicate our message of innovation, quality and value, and this year we definitely did that."
