Elation has merged explosive strobe power with design creativity in the new PULSE series and has announced that two highly versatile effects in the line—the PULSE PANEL and PULSE PANEL FX—are now shipping. Designers have asked for effect lights that are more than a one-trick pony and the PULSE PANEL and PULSE PANEL FX deliver multi-functionality as a powerful strobe, bright blinder, high-output wash light or creative eye candy effect in one.

Perfect for concerts, nightclubs, and theatrical spectacles, or any event craving electrifying visuals, the PULSE PANEL and PULSE PANEL FX infuse any performance with attention-grabbing moments of intense white or coloured light. Both fixtures incorporate zone-controllable RGB and cool-white LEDs, 1152 1.5W RGB LEDs establishing the foundation with 288 5W cool-white LEDs at its centre, and 96 1.5W RGB LEDs at its core. Some 144 5W cool-white LEDs line the perimeter. When combined, the output is over 100,000 total lumens.

Crafting effects
Whether adding rhythmic flashes that synchronize with the music or crafting special effects for a more visually stimulating experience, customizable zone control of both the RGB and CW LEDs opens up a myriad of design possibilities. Both fixtures also include a library of customizable RGB and CW strobe effects along with variable dimming modes and curves for quick programming.

One of the most notable features of the PULSE PANEL FX is its ability to pan or spin its LED panel in an endless 360° rotation while a 180° tilt adds an extra layer of dynamism. This gives users not only the ability to spin the LEDs endlessly but also create tilted angle offsets and waves along a line of panels, expanding on the visual impact and creativity a designer can achieve.

Creative control
Controlled via DMX, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, and KlingNet protocols, both fixtures also feature proprietary Aria x2 wireless device management for simplified system setup and maintenance. The PULSE PANEL FX allows for the use of two separate universes to control the fixture, one for fixture movement and another for LED control, allowing users to control the LEDs from a media server or separate content control device.

Smart housing
Both fixtures feature Elation’s market-leading IP65 protection, a durability standard that not only protects them from weather and harsh environments but also serves to protect the internal components and electronics from dust and debris that can wreak havoc on fixtures. The PULSE PANEL’s housing includes a unique interlocking mechanism that allows the unit to be hung vertically or horizontally from other PULSE PANEL fixtures or SŌL Blinder frame arrays. The unit also integrates airline tracks on the top and bottom, and the housing can accept optional diffusion filters, ND filters and other optics.

More PULSE
Coming soon in the PULSE series are linear PULSE BAR strobe and visual effects that feature the same RGB and CW LEDs for a perfect match, and feature the same effects engine and control capabilities as well. The PULSE BARs also include the same interlocking mechanism as the PULSE PANEL, so the bars can be locked together end to end or connected to the PULSE PANEL.
