Powered by 30 x 10-watt RGBW CREE LEDs, the Platinum Wash LED Zoom produces an output comparable to a 575-watt discharge moving head. Yet it draws only 360 watts of electricity at maximum use, offering great energy savings over fixtures with conventional lamps. Its powerful LED source emits 1,672 lux/ 155 foot-candles at 16 feet -- for a bold, bright wash in any color under the sun. Not only will the Platinum Wash LED Zoom lower your electrical bills, it also requires much less maintenance than traditional fixtures, since its long-life LEDs will run for 50,000 hours on average.
The Platinum Wash LED Zoom also requires much less space than conventional 575-watt moving heads.
"With the Platinum Wash LED Zoom, we are bringing together two breakthrough technologies - a Quad Color LED system and our scaled-down Platinum case design," said Dirk Kast, general manager for Elation Europe. "Now lighting designers can enjoy the low maintenance, energy efficiency and smooth RGBW mixing of Quad Color LED technology in a compact Platinum-style case that's easy to transport, set up and can fit virtually anywhere. The Platinum Wash LED Zoom also has all the professional features that today's designers are looking for."
One of these features is a built-in motorized 11°-50° Zoom. This zooming capability gives designers fast dynamic beam control, allowing them to produce a smaller wash for long throw or wider coverage for short throw applications, providing maximum creative flexibility., says the company.
Another key feature found on the Platinum Wash LED Zoom is a built-in EWDMX Wireless DMX receiver. When used with an Elation EWDMXT Wireless DMX transmitter (sold separately), the unit is capable of receiving DMX signals wireless from up to 3,000ft away.
The Platinum Wash LED Zoom also features an electronic dimmer and strobe, and can pan 540° (630° optional) and tilt 265°. It can be run in 3 DMX modes -- 12-, 14- or 15- channel - with 3- or 5-pin DMX input. A convenient touch screen display on the rear of the base makes it easy to scroll through DMX settings.
