Step Into the Limelight with Elation’s New Generation of Powerful PAR Colour Changers
October 16, 2024
Elation presents Limelight, a new generation of high-powered color-mixing wash luminaires that redefine color intensity and PAR light versatility. Engineered to astound with its exceptional output, Limelight delivers high-quality light with a wide color spectrum and exceptional CRI, making it the perfect solution for a host of lighting applications.
The Limelight PAR is a versatile workhorse fixture, ideal for even stage washes, side or front lighting, backlighting, and dramatic silhouette effects. It offers precision to accent scenery, sets, or specific areas of the stage for both functional and aesthetic lighting needs.
Available in two powerhouse configurations, Limelight PAR S boasts seven 60W RGBL LEDs, while Limelight PAR L raises intensity further with 12 x 60W RGBL LEDs. The added Lime emitter gives a substantial boost to overall output and fills in the entire spectrum to create a more expansive color gamut. Limelight PAR L delivers an output of 8,213 total lumens, while the PAR S version brings 5,345 lumens to the table. Both fixtures are rugged IP65-rated LED color changers, built to perform in any environment, from high-energy live shows to outdoor installations.
At the heart of Limelight is its cutting-edge zoom lens optical system, which delivers a highly homogenized output with flawless color and light distribution throughout the beam. Whether you need crisp, defined beams for mid-air effects or a wide, even wash, Limelight’s wide zoom range (5° to 40° and up to 42° on the S version) is designed to meet any challenge. Plus, the ability to control the LEDs in two separate zones opens the door for dynamic eye-candy effects that will take your lighting design to new heights.
Limelight's higher-wattage LEDs can deliver brighter, more vivid saturated colors. How does it work? By not utilizing all four LEDs at once, the available power overhead between the LED engine’s total wattage and maximum power draw lets you boost the intensity of the active LEDs. This creates an unparalleled, high-impact output for any saturated color, resulting in an exceptionally punchy color mix.
Lighting pros will love Limelight’s flexibility. A dedicated variable CCT control channel (2400K - 8500K) gives precise color temperature control, while CMY emulation mode caters to those familiar with that color mixing system. Need a specific gel filter look? Limelight’s integrated library of calibrated color presets has got you covered. Electronic dimming, variable 16-bit dimming modes, and strobe effects add to its range of capabilities.
Built for any setting indoors or out, -Limelight’s IP65 housing includes an integrated gel frame holder, allowing for easy accessory add-ons. Its dual yoke design makes it a breeze to mount on the floor or rig with a C-clamp or omega bracket, giving you maximum freedom of placement. For even more convenience, the fixtures’ Aria X2 wireless DMX control enables a quick, hassle-free setup, so you can focus on creating showstopping moments.
