Elation Introduces Platinum Wash LED Zoom

Elation Professional's Platinum Wash LED Zoom, combines a number of features into a DMX moving head LED color wash with a built-in zoom. Featuring a 300W Quad Color LED system and built on Elation's space-saving Platinum base, the unit is billed as offering brilliant RGBW colors in a trimmed-down fixture designed for concerts and stages, churches and theatrical applications.

Powered by thirty 10W RGBW CREE LEDs, the Platinum Wash LED Zoom produces an output comparable to a 575W discharge moving head, yet it draws only 360W of electricity at maximum use. Its LED source emits 1,672 lux/ 155fc at 16'. It also requires much less space than conventional 575W moving heads, because it is built on Elation's Platinum base. Measuring 14"L x 13.2"W x 19"H, the unit can fit into very tight areas. At 35.5 lbs., it is also lightweight.

"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," says Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. "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-degree zoom, which gives designers fast dynamic beam control, allowing them to produce a smaller wash for long throw or wider coverage for short throw applications.

Another feature 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 3,000' away.

The Platinum Wash LED Zoom also features an electronic dimmer and strobe, and can pan 540 degrees (630 degrees optional) and tilt 265 degrees. It can be run in three DMX modes -- 12-, 14- or 15-channel - with three- or five-pin DMX input. A convenient touch screen display on the rear of the base makes it easy to scroll through DMX settings. The unit also offers multi-voltage operation (120V-240V-50/60Hz).
