Don’t be surprised if you start “spotting” more LED spot fixtures on stages and at concerts . . . namely, the Satura Spot LED Pro from Elation Professional.
This 300-watt RGBW moving head from Elation breaks new barriers as an LED spot, because its color-mixing engine produces an output in all colors that’s as bright and powerful as a traditional 575-watt discharge fixture.
Not only does the Satura Spot LED Pro consume half as much energy as comparably bright traditional moving head spots, its long-life LED engine lasts on average 80 times longer than a typical 575-watt discharge lamp.
With these user benefits, plus its 575-watt comparable brightness and a 4,800 total LM output, the Satura Spot LED Pro marks a new industry milestone in which LED spots have truly become a viable—and highly advantageous – replacement option for conventional discharge spot fixtures, said Eric Loader, Elation Professional’s director of sales.
“The Satura Spot LED Pro is a totally breakthrough fixture, because its LED engine truly delivers enough output color-to-color to compete with discharge fixtures that use double the power,” said Loader. “This long-awaited technology is finally here – LED engines are now bright enough to where they can start to replace traditional discharge spots.
“I am confident that the Satura Spot’s rich, saturated RGBW colors, high output and crisp, clear light will be the tipping points that convince a lot of lighting professionals that LEDs are the way to go with spots. I believe that this groundbreaking fixture is going to make a very positive difference for our customers.”
Along with its advanced LED engine, the Satura Spot LED Pro offers all the design tools that lighting pros have come to expect on a full-featured moving head spot. It is equipped with 13 gobos (6 rotating, 7 static); a 14°-32° zoom range which at 5m (16.4 ft.) Full On produces up to 3,451 LUX at min zoom and up to 808 LUX at max zoom; frost filter; motorized focus; 0-100% dimming; 5%-100% motorized iris; and a high-speed mechanical shutter/strobe.
Its full-rotation moving yoke can pan 540°/630° and tilt 265°, and it features 8/16 bit resolution adjustable movement.
Another valuable tool is a built-in EWDMX wireless DMX receiver, which allows the Satura Spot LED Pro to receive DMX signals wirelessly from up to 3,000 feet when sent via an Elation EWDMXT wireless DMX transmitter (sold separately).
The unit is controllable in 3 DMX modes (19/21/25 channel) and includes 3 and 5 pin DMX In/Out and PowerCON connectors. In addition to DMX, the Satura Spot LED Pro features RDM (Remote Device Management) and can be operated manually in Stand-Alone, Sound Active and Master-Slave Modes. A built-in microphone is included for sound-activated programs.
Whatever the operating mode, users will appreciate the unit’s convenient 6-button touch control panel with a full-color 180° reversible LCD menu display. To ensure that it is always accessible, the menu display is equipped with its own rechargeable backup battery.
The Satura Spot LED Pro measures 17”L x 20”W x 28.4”H /431 x 507.5 x 721mm, and weighs 53 lbs./26 kg. It includes multi-voltage operation: AC 100-240V/ 50-60 Hz and consumes only 480W max power. CE and cETLus approval are pending.
