Elation Professional's new UV Wash.
USA - Elation Professional's new UV Wash is an ultra-violet fixture designed for mobile use and rentals. Weighing just 11lb (5kg), the UV Wash is more lightweight and transportable than traditional black lights, due to the use of a compact fluorescent UV lamp instead of the typical gas discharge lamps, which require a heavy transformer to operate.

"Through the years, black lights have remained one of the most universal special effects for club and stage use - and they keep getting better with new, improved features," said John Lopez, national sales manager for Elation Professional. "Now, with the UV Wash, you can achieve great ultra-violet effects without having to lug around an awkward light with a transformer that weighs a ton, thanks to its compact fluorescent UV lamp."

In addition to using a fluorescent UV lamp, the UV Wash is rugged and durable, with a strong aluminium case and a compact design. A 5mm shatter-proof glass cover protects the lamp from breaking. Another advantage of the UV Wash is that its 100W, 120V lamp operates on low amperage, saving energy, yet it still gives full coverage at 25ft, say Elation. Reflective glass mirrors serve to amplify the fixture's brightness and widen its span without drawing any additional power. The lamp itself has a long life expectancy of 1,000 hours.
