Equipped with 19 x 10-watt OSRAM Quad-Color RGBW LEDs, the Platinum Wash ZFX Pro has a total 190-watt LED engine, yet its powerful output rivals a 700-watt wash discharge fixture in brightness. This extreme power, combined with the unit's compact size, makes it an ideal fixture for touring, concerts, theatrical productions - even on the largest stages, says the company.
The Platinum Wash ZFX Pro features a wide-range, high speed 9° - 21° beam angle motorized zoom (17° - 43° field angle), which gives it the flexibility of narrow beam or wide coverage. Another innovative feature is the addition of "FX" -- Chase/Zone effects, which are rings of LED array controllable zones, making the Platinum Wash ZFX Pro a much more high-energy visual effect than the typical wash - and appropriate for added visual eye candy popular in today's shows.
"We are very proud of the Platinum Wash ZFX Pro, because it represents a major design innovation in our evolution toward smaller, brighter, faster, quieter, more energy-efficient moving head fixtures, which is what today's lighting pros are demanding," said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional.
"It's not only what you see on the outside of this fixture that is impressive. Our software engineers have been very busy with this new product. This is one of the first Elation products in which we have implemented special control features including RDM (Remote Device Management) functions, which allow users from compatible control devices to access service mode settings remotely to get fixture information such as power hours, lamp use hours, fixture temperature, error codes and make menu changes remotely.
"We have also implemented advanced control features requested by our customers such as Hybernation mode, which powers down all fixture functions when DMX control signal is not present for more than 15 minutes, saving the fixture's motors and fans while not in operation, which is especially important in the fixture life on permanent installations.
"Lighting users today are also looking for versatility, and here too the Platinum Wash ZFX Pro delivers," Loader added. "In this economy, everyone wants to stretch their budget by buying fixtures that aren't limited to one function, but can be used different ways. That's why we made the Platinum Wash ZFX Pro very full-featured, and even gave it some unexpected 'extras' such as LED array control Zone effects, which allow it to function as eye candy in addition to a smooth stage wash fixture."
