Artiste Monet - a 45,000-lumen LED profile light
USA - Elation Professional’s latest innovation in its Artiste series is a 45,000-lumen LED profile light capable of projecting “some of the most gorgeous colours ever produced by an automated LED luminaire”.
The Artiste Monet’s colour palette is possible due to an innovative SpectraColor LED engine that uses traditional CMY colour mixing and adds variable RGB flags for richer, more saturated primary colours. In combination with variable CTO colour correction, the Monet produces colours that were previously impossible to achieve. The wide colour gamut is achieved by seven colour-mixing flags with 16-bit precision. A six-position fixed colour wheel with UV and high CRI options round out the Monet’s colour range.
“With its massive output, absolutely stunning colour spectrum and precise optics, the Artiste Monet is the brightest and most feature packed framing LED fixture produced to date,” states Elation product manager Matthias Hinrichs. “With an amazing quality of light and sheer power from the custom 950W LED engine, we managed to support the designer’s need for high lumens, rich colours and precision out of one fixture with no compromises.
“LED profiles truly have arrived with Monet radically exceeding the performance and colour quality of any discharge fixture on the market. The fixture’s continuous rotation framing system and SpectraColor array is a testament to Elation’s success as a true R&D leader and innovator in entertainment lighting.”
The fixture has the power to cut through at even great distances in arena touring environments or large TV or theatre stages. A precise zoom can adjust the beam quickly and evenly from a tight 6.5° to a wide 55° for use in a variety of situations.
With Monet, designers have access to a comprehensive package of design options that enables it to proudly live up to its artistic namesake. Creative expression is bolstered by seven rotating and seven fixed glass gobos for aerial and projected effects, a set of gobos that should be well received by all types of lighting designers.
Also unique to the Artiste Monet is its full blackout, four-blade framing system for full control of the beam shape.
