Featuring new lamp technology and an innovative optical system, the Platinum FLX does the work of three luminaires in one. Using the same patent-pending dual optical design as Elation's Platinum SBX, Beam mode and Spot mode perform under their own independent optical systems resulting in a narrower beam angle and brighter central point in Beam mode and a uniform, clearer and brighter spot field under Spot mode.
The intelligent optical system mechanically switches between Beam and Spot modes quickly and accurately with a very flat field of light in Spot mode. Beam angle range differs in Beam and Spot mode with the Platinum FLX realizing gobo projection focus under Beam mode from 2.3° - 23° and 3° to 32° in Spot mode. A superior light quality (7,800K, 80 CRI) and uniform flat field of light with a consistent field is maintained throughout the zoom range. The Platinum FLX also includes a unique frost system which can realize a Wash effect under Spot or Beam mode making it a truly versatile hybrid fixture.
"The Platinum FLX is an extremely efficient fixture on two fronts," states Elation sales director Eric Loader. "Its hybrid ability translates into savings from being able to use fewer fixtures in the rig, not to mention the space and weight benefits gained, while designers are getting up to 23,000 lumens of power yet drawing only 650W. Very energy-efficient compared to traditional 1200W lights, you can easily put two Platinum FLX fixtures for every one 1,200W type fixture on the same power circuit, plus this unit can run at 120v offering even more versatility."
