The Artiste DaVinci is the first fixture in Elation’s new Artiste series
USA - Elation Professional has introduced the Artiste DaVinci, a full-featured yet compact “theatrical grade” LED moving head spot luminaire and the first fixture in Elation’s new Artiste series.
“With Artiste DaVinci we put all the design features that creative LDs ask for in a small package,” states Eric Loader, sales director at Elation Professional. “It’s full-featured yet LED-based so it offers a complete palette for the creative designer in an energy-efficient design. This is really the ultimate performance fixture designed for the most demanding theatrical and stage applications and is an excellent example of our commitment to offer best-in-class price/performance ratio fixtures.”
The Artiste DaVinci produces a bright and highly efficient beam. An output of over 13,000 lumens is comparable to 700W discharge lamp fixtures, yet it does not require lamp replacements. Powerful enough to light a stage or set from even the highest trim height, a newly designed 300W LED engine (>7,500K) and advanced optics is at the heart of this enhanced performance and energy efficient luminaire that will shine through even on the largest stages.
Built to make the design task easier while allowing for more creative freedom, the Artiste DaVinci offers a variety of design features in a small package. Full CMY colour mixing gives a broad palette of colour choice and is supplemented by seven dichroic colours from a colour wheel, including CTB. Add to that CTO colour mixing for greater colour temperature control and the Artiste DaVinci is also an excellent colour matching unit. While the fixture is a highly capable spot luminaire, a frost filter is included when the moment calls for a softer wash effect.
The Artiste DaVinci can be controlled via DMX, RDM (Remote Device Management), sACN or Art-Net protocols and Elation's internal E-FLY wireless DMX transceiver makes for easier setup with less cable mess.
