Elation Color Spot-575 & 250

Elation Professionals is bringing new meaning to the phrase "Weíve got you covered" with its sweeping Color Spot-575 and 250 intelligent effects. Not only are these DMX-compatible units loaded with colors, gobos and other eye-popping visual effects, they also feature a moving yoke that rotates a full 360 degrees to cover all areas in a theater or large club.

Unlike a traditional intelligent light, in which only the mirror moves, the Color Spots 360-degree rotating yoke will blast out special effects to every nook and cranny around the room. The effects will even appear to be moving in the air -- up to the ceiling!

"More clubs and theaters are installing units with rotating yokes, like the Elation Color Spot, because they want to have colorful, moving effects throughout their entire venue," said John Lopez, Production Manager at Elation Professionals. "A traditional scanner will only pan and tilt over a certain portion of a room, whereas the Color Spot-575 and 250 will not only cover a much bigger area, theyll also shoot moving lights up to the ceiling, for a whole new dimension of visual excitement."

The Color Spot-575 and 250 have a pan movement range of 530 degrees in 2.65 seconds, and a tilt movement range of 280 degrees in 1.68 seconds. Both units feature automatic pan/tilt position correction.

In addition to their rotating yoke, the Color Spot-575 and 250 contain many high-tech effects to produce a spectacular light show. They feature the newer glass gobos, which yield extremely vibrant images because they allow more light through. Additionally, the Color Spot-575 and 250 are equipped with a rotating 3-facet prism and a combined mechanical dimmer/shutter. Both units offer variable strobing, ranging from 1-10 flashes per second.

Compatible with any DMX controller, the Color Spot-575 and 250 feature 8 and 16-bit pan/tilt and 14-16 channels. They incorporate many user conveniences, including: a four-digit L.E.D. menu; readouts on lamp usage and DMX values; remote lamp on/off; and built-in self-test mode for all effects.

Color Spot-575 The bigger and brighter of the two fixtures, the Color Spot-575 is ideal for spacious clubs, theaters and large touring companies. It offers users the ability to mix colors and overlay gobos on top of one another, to create their own truly customized light show.

The Color Spot-575 contains two motorized color wheels with 15 dichroic color filters (plus white), a 32k filter, 56k filter and UV filter. There are also two motorized gobo wheels, one with 6 interchangeable 27mm rotating glass gobos, and the other with 9 replaceable 27mm fixed metal gobos. The metal gobo wheel includes a unique Gobo Shake feature, which makes the gobos appear to vibrate back and forth.

Other features on the Color Spot-575 include a motorized iris, which increases and decreases the size of the beam, and a motorized multi-step zoom with 15", 18" and 22" apertures. Capable of setting large clubs and theaters aglow with its brilliant 575-watt lamp, the Color Spot-575 retails for a suggested list price of $5,399.95.

Color Spot-250 Aimed at smaller venues that want the excitement of total special-effects coverage, the Color Spot-250 features the same 360-degree rotating yoke as its larger sibling. The more compact version is equipped with one motorized color wheel with 11 dichroic colors (plus white), and one motorized gobo wheel with 6 interchangeable 27mm rotating glass gobos.
