"We are extremely pleased that the Impression has been awarded the cETLus seal of approval, which is granted only to products that pass the strictest safety and quality inspections," commented Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional.
"This is excellent news for our customers, too. The Impression has distinguished itself as a one-of-a-kind lighting product that takes LED colour washes into the next generation, and now that it has received this official accreditation, more designers will be able to specify it in their projects and installations."
The Impression is an ultra-bright, fast-moving, extremely compact moving head powered by 90 Luxeon K2 LEDs, which emit an output comparable to a 575-watt discharge fixture, yet consume only half the electricity. It is available in two versions, both of which received cETLus approval: Impression RGB -- additive RGB colour mixing with 30 red, 30 green and 30 blue LEDs; Impression W/A - all-white with 60 cold white and 30 amber LEDs for variable colour temperature control from 3,200k-6,000k.
The company has also made other customised versions of the Impression with different LED layouts - ½ Warm White and Cool White or 1/3 Cool White and 2/3 Warm white for TV / Key lighting applications with great success.
The Impression has become a popular choice on major concert tours, including AC/DC, Elton John/Billy Joel, John Mayer and Jackson Browne, and will be used in the upcoming No Doubt and Brad Paisley tours this summer. The Impression has also won a following in the TV/video production market, where its credits include WWE Wrestling and a Hannah Montana concert video.
