The market's newest light sensation -- the Elation Sniper -- created a buzz when released at the PRO show in mid-September and just finished the PLASA show in London for an encore.

"We were very excited to return to London this year, to show exciting new and innovative products. Last year's PLASA show was surprisingly good and we were optimistic that with all the fresh new products we and other manufacturers have come out with recently -- it was great to see customers made the time to come out to ExCeL in East London and see them all in action first hand," said Eric Loader, director of sales, Elation Professional.

The Sniper is powered by the new 132W Philips MSD Platinum lamp and houses 14 dichroic colors and 17 static gobos. It is the perfect high-energy effect light for clubs and other nighttime venues and can liven up any stage for tours and special events.

Bright at 850 nits and 0-100% dimmable, multiple units can be easily linked together for customizable setups.

EMAG 4 Pro: Designed for the demanding production market, the new EMAG 4 Pro is a durable, 4.8mm pixel pitch LED video panel ideal when outstanding high-definition image quality is required for on-the-road productions. Built of rugged die cast aluminum, tool-less quick locks and a magnetic module design make the EMAG 4 Pro easy to assemble and disassemble. Colors display vivid and consistent and a brightness level of 1,200 nits means the EMAG 4 Pro performs well in high ambient lighting conditions.
