Elation Innovation Celebration Set for Prolight + Sound 2018

	Elation's Proteus Beam and Proteus Hybrid luminaires

Elation Professional is set to celebrate lighting innovation at the Prolight + Sound exhibition in Frankfurt, April 10 - 13, with a number of exciting, new products, a lineup that includes the company's first European showing of the recently acquired M-Series range of entertainment lighting controllers. Elation is proud to partner with LMP to distribute Elation products in Germany.

Be among the first to see game-changing luminaires in an inspiring environment lit by lighting and stage designer Christian "Rocket Chris" Glatthor, 2016 Opus award-winner for Best Stage and Light Design.

The M-Series is a professional range of state-of-the-art lighting control solutions with a stable and efficient programming platform that is fast to program and fun to operate. All M-Series controllers and software solutions are now part of the Elation product line worldwide. This includes M6, M1HD, M2GO HD, M2PC, M-Touch, M-Play, M-DMX, M-Sync, and M-PC. "The M-Series range fits well into our core customer base needs and we are excited to now offer this advanced controller series to customers around the world," commented Eric Loader, global director of sales and marketing at Elation. "We look forward to connecting with lighting pros in Frankfurt and showing them just how exceptional this controller line is."

Elation continues to expand its award-winning Artiste series of creative, full-featured moving heads. At Prolight + Sound, look for the Artiste Picasso, an inspirational theatrical-grade luminaire that connects art to engineering. One of the brightest and most feature-rich profile LED lighting fixtures on the market today, it is a high-output (22,000 lumens), feature-packed (zoom, framing, CMY, CTO, gobo wheels, animation, prisms, frost, and more) yet compact profile light featuring a new high-power 600W Cool White LED engine.

Elation will also be showing the Smarty Hybrid, a full featured spot, beam, and wash fixture and the most compact CMY color mixing hybrid Elation has released to date. At the heart of the luminaiure is the new Platinum lamp using "FLEX" technology which offers a "smartly" designed discharge lamp/ballast package (10,000 hour lamp life) for high output / compact performance at an efficient and affordable price point.

Also on display will be the Dartz 360, a unique, full color-mixing LED beam/spot fixture with narrow-beam, gobos and effects. A single-source 50W RGB LED engine produces a powerful and tight 3-degree beam for smooth, color-mixed beam effects similar to a discharge lamp. The Dartz 360 is compact and phenomenally fast with continuous 360-degree pan and tilt movement.

And don't miss Elation's award-winning Proteus line of IP65-rated arc-source moving heads -- the Proteus Beam and three-in-one Proteus Hybrid. Compact, robust, and budget-friendly, Proteus has established itself as the market's leading line of weatherproof moving heads for outdoor events.
