Designed for wall washing and other long throw applications, the ELED Strip RGBW measures 40" long and has a beam angle of 40° x 80°. One of its special features is a new asymmetrical optic system that produces a flat linear beam of light, as opposed to the less-focused circular-like patterns created by many LED strips. Because of the greater focus and concentration of its beam, the ELED Strip RGBW will produce a noticeably more even-toned and robust colour wash when projected on a wall or running length of a surface.
"To be an effective wall wash, an LED strip should produce a concentrated line of light, but this doesn't happen with some LED strips, which tend to spill light all over the place," said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. "We wanted to avoid this problem with the ELED Strip RGBW, so we developed a special optics design that gives you a really nice flat, concentrated beam of light. This linear beam produces a really efficient wash - it's great for throwing colour evenly over a large area. It is also great as a floor light for front wash or direct view effect."
Another feature that enhances the ELED Strip RGBW's performance is the addition of white LEDs to the RGB mix. The white LEDs make the colours appear more vibrant and balanced, eliminating the pinkish tone that sometimes occurs during RGB colour mixing when creating white, and helping to create brighter pastel colours as well.
