Now Elation is introducing its highest-output Platinum fixture yet. Designed for larger venues and productions, the new CMY colour-mixing Platinum Spot 15R Pro moving head blasts out brightness comparable to 700-watt and even 1,200-watt fixtures. Yet its compact case is only about one-third the size of a conventional 700-watt moving head (409 x 419 x 541mm), and it draws just one-quarter of the power.
This output-to-size/energy use ratio is the result of the new, more powerful 300W Philips MSD Platinum 15R lamp, which brings all the advantages of Platinum technology to concert/arena-scale fixtures. Not only is the Platinum Spot 15R Pro more compact and energy-efficient than conventional moving heads, it also produces a superior flat, even light field, and it moves faster than traditional moving heads on pan and tilt, as well as on color/gobo changes, says the company.
"Lighting designers working on larger projects can now enjoy all the benefits of our revolutionary Platinum fixtures," said Dirk Kast, general manager for Elation Europe. "You really have to see the Platinum Spot 15R Pro to believe that a fixture so compact can fill a theatre, concert hall or arena with 1,200-watt-like output - and do it on such low electricity usage.
"This little moving head is totally in the 'big leagues' when it comes to advanced professional features, too," Kast added. "It offers CMY color-mixing, a built-in wireless DMX receiver, Variable Zoom and much, much more."
