Equipped with 288 high-output 10mm LEDs (48 red, 120 green, 120 blue), the Event Panel System is designed for adding colour to special events and banquets, as well as tricky indoor spaces where electrical outlets are scarce, such as hallways, entry ways and moving scenery, the company says. The panel can be controlled remotely from up to 30ft away, using Elation's ELAR WR Wireless Infrared Controller, which comes included with the Event Panel System. The ELAR WR Remote gives operators control over the built-in programmes, strobing, blackout and RGB mixing, and the IR receiver on the panel itself can be placed by the user into the proper position manually.
As another option, the Event Panel System can be operated with a standard DMX-512 controller, giving users flexibility to create their own programmes.
"The Event Panel System makes RGB LED lighting totally portable," said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. "This battery-powered, go-anywhere system will make it possible to have ultra-bright colour mix effects in a whole range of new applications where electricity isn't readily available."
