Elation Professional (Booth 4481) has built a bundle of distinctive, high-end features into its new 250-watt DMX moving head, the Design Spot 250--and created a unique "hybrid" effect that's both a spot and wash in one. The ultimate rental unit for any production--as well as theaters, concert halls, corporate events, fashion shows and clubs--the 16-channel Design Spot 250 is a spotlight that offers both Frost and Iris capabilities, highly sought-after features that until now were a rarity on 250-watt fixtures.
The Design Spot 250's Frost feature is what allows the unit to function as a hybrid, taking away the hard edges of a spotlight and converting it to a wash-type fixture. The Frost is variable type, so users can control how much edge is taken away, from hard edge to soft edge. In fact, the Frost on the Design Spot 250 is so good that it can completely remove the spotlight edge.
"Until now, this type of wash-like Frost feature was only available on larger 575-watt fixtures," says John Lopez, national sales manager for Elation Professional. "But now with the Design Spot 250, we are offering a professional-quality variable Frost feature on a lower-wattage--and less expensive--250-watt unit. Lighting users and installers who want this feature no longer have to shell out big bucks and buy a higher-wattage light than they need."
The Design Spot's Iris is another feature that's not readily available on 250-watt fixtures. The Iris allows users to pinpoint performers, presenters and objects such as mirror balls at any distance. In addition to its pinpointing function, the Design Spot 250's Iris has a pulse effect like those used in major production shows. "Up until now, users had to buy a 575-watt moving head to achieve this level of eye-popping excitement on stage," says Lopez.
Gobo morphing is yet another effect that used to require an upgrade to the world of 575-watt fixtures. But thanks to the Design Spot 250's dual gobo wheels, users can create the popular morphing effect via gobo overlay.
