It also comes available in a Cool White model, the Design Wash LED Zoom CW, which contains 108 x Cool White 7,500k LEDs. Providing an extreme output of 8,300 total lumens, the Design Wash LED Zoom CW is designed for when a bright white light is needed for flood or key lighting at auto shows, exhibition booths and broadcast lighting applications.
But the Design Wash LED Zoom units do more than serve up rich, brilliant colours or bold white light. Going beyond traditional wash fixtures, they add some very desirable professional features that enhance their versatility, such as a 7°-30° zoom beam angle / 13°-40° field angle that lets you zero in on a performer or area with a sharp, narrow beam, or fade out for wider coverage.
Plus, when you want to ramp up the visual excitement, the Design Wash LED Zoom provides the tools for doing just that, including a rainbow effect (RGBW model), variable speed strobe (1-18 flashes per second), pulse effect, 0-100% dimming, and 7 amazing built-in programs that run automatically in Sound Active or Stand Alone modes. Featuring high-speed, wide-ranging Pan (540° or 630°) and Tilt (265°) movement with 16-bit resolution and 9° beam angle, they fill the entire space with rich, smooth colour-changing or white-light effects.
The Design Wash LED Zoom also gives lighting pros "more" by being "less." It requires less maintenance and consumes less energy than wash fixtures with older-style halogen or discharge lamps, since its long-life Osram LEDs will run for up to 50,000 hours, and it draws just 320 watts of power at maximum use.
"Elation developed the Design Wash LED Zoom to provide a reliable, compact, energy-efficient moving head colour wash with all the practical features that today's lighting users need, at a great dollar value," said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. "One thing everyone is looking for in lighting today is multi-functionality, and the Design Wash LED Zoom certainly delivers this, thanks in part to its zoom feature, while still being able to fit into the budgets of today's projects.
"You can use the Design Wash LED Zoom as a wall or stage wash, but then you can also zoom in and highlight an individual performer or object. And being an RGBW fixture, you can use it as a white light or a colour-changing effect. Another thing that adds to the Design Wash LED Zoom's versatility is its flicker-free operation, which makes it great for TV and film applications, too. More than just a colour wash, it's really a multi-purpose light."
