Launched at PLASA 2012, Chromlech Elidy is a matrix of 5 x 5 very high power LEDs, driven by state of the art electronics to provide the world's first LED wall capable of projecting light. Specific optics and high-output, warm white LEDs combine to generate extremely narrow beams that far exceed the intensity of LED screens, says the company.
Elidy is modular in form, based around a single projector of 25 LEDs (1 sq.ft), which can be assembled to form up to 225 LEDs (1 sq/m) and arranged into screens, columns, or even angled forms.
The current Award is the second Etoile du SIEL for Chromlech, having received its first in 2012 for Gleamer, the DMX-controlled, low-voltage dimmer. Gleamer subsequently went on to receive the PLASA Award for Innovation and the LDI Product Award of the Year.
"To be recognised by the industry two years in a row is a great achievement for us," says product manager, Kevin Migeon. "Last year's Etoile du SIEL put us on the map and it was very exciting to see that acknowledgement go international at LDI and PLASA. But to win again this year with Elidy shows we are in it for the long run! Elidy has already been specified on a number of high profile projects for 2013 and we are delighted with the way it has captured the industry's imagination. We think it is definitely a case of 'watch this space'."
