Elation Professional simplified ellipsoidal lighting with the all-in-one KL Profile FC and now introduces a compact version that delivers the same studio-quality lighting. Combining advanced LED technology with elegant design, the KL PROFILE COMPACT brings outstanding flexibility to any venue, utilizing a streamlined form factor that delivers exceptional results with vivid color and top quality. Alongside, Elation has also introduced the KL PAR IP COMPACT, a powerful and compact full-spectrum LED PAR fixture in the company’s popular KL “Key Light” series. It is designed for indoor and outdoor productions and delivers exceptional lighting performance, making it the ideal backbone of any production.

The KL PROFILE COMPACT’s advanced optical engineering, combined with integrated manual zoom and focus, ensures sharp, flawless projections free from color shifts or aberrations, regardless of the zoom, focus, or framing position. Dimming of the LED engine is smooth and stepless with variable 16-bit dimming curve modes and curves available to suit any application. The fixture offers full-spectrum performance from a 94.9 CRI engine (TLCI of 95) that utilizes a 225W 5-color homogenized LED array of Red, Green, Blue, Mint, and Amber sources. The RGBMA engine, calibrated at a native color temperature of 6000 Kelvin, emits beautifully diffused saturates and soft-field pastels, including tunable white light. The carefully tuned LEDs ensure accurate color reproduction while delivering a powerful output of 5,880 lumens.

High color quality and color manipulation are central to the KL Profile Compact, ensuring that designs translate well to camera. The unit can adjust for light that shifts away from pure white towards green or magenta through a green/magenta shift adjustment and a virtual gel library.

The unit achieves superb color accuracy with fully variable 16-bit color temperature adjustment (2400K – 8500K) for ultimate precision, along with dim-to-warm and red shift emulation for that classic incandescent glow. CMY and RGB emulation give designers access to an impressive LED color array including beautiful mixed whites. Capable of matching the white balance for camera, users can easily shift the color temperature without the use of plus/minus green gels and filters. Additionally, the LED refresh rate is DMX adjustable so there is no flickering when used with high-speed cameras.

With an integrated manual zoom range of 25° to 50°, the KL Profile Compact requires no additional lens tubes, reducing cost and complexity and providing excellent flexibility for any performance venue or show. A manual, full blackout, 4-blade framing system lets users refine the beam shape as needed and frame around objects to be highlighted. For custom imaging, the fixture accepts size ‘M’ gobos (metal gobo holder included) and also includes a 6.25″ gel frame.

The KL Profile Compact has also been designed with respect to the whisper-quiet requirements of the professional stage and studio. Exceptionally quiet, it offers enhanced fan controls down to Elation’s ultra-quiet Mute Mode, which disables the internal cooling fan. With its touch bar encoder for straightforward standalone operation, Aria x2 wireless management integration, and NFC configuration, setup and control are made easy for lighting designers working in diverse settings.

The KL PAR IP COMPACT houses a powerful 150W 6000K RGBMA LED engine with 16-bit CCT adjustments possible from 2,400K-8,500K for precise color temperature control. The full-spectrum LED engine emits beautifully diffused saturates, soft-field pastels, and tunable white light, allowing for a perfect color match with other fixtures in Elation’s KL and FUZE ranges.

The unit produces the finest quality of light with high CRI (94.9) and TLCI (95) values, meaning that color re-creation is extremely accurate for both the eye and camera. Output is up to 5,700 fixture lumens and is delivered with multiple lens choices that are easy to replace in the field. A selection of 16-bit dimming modes and curves are also included.

Designed for durability and portability, the KL PAR IP COMPACT has several useful features that make it an even more flexible complement to any professional lighting system. Its 6.25” gel frame and multiple included field-replaceable lenses (10°, 22°, 30°, 55°) allow it to adapt seamlessly to diverse production requirements. Optional 6.25” barndoors further enhance its capabilities.

The KL PAR IP COMPACT comes with several features optimized for broadcast. Dim-to-warm and redshift emulate a classic incandescent glow, while CMY emulation, green/magenta shift, and a virtual gel library facilitate access to vibrant LED colors and pre-mixed shades. Color shift correction and matching of the camera’s white balance are possible without the need for additional gels or filters. The fixture’s LED refresh rate can be remotely adjusted, ensuring flicker-free performance with high-speed cameras.

DMX control and RDM support offer reliable control and integration, while manual access and standalone operation via the touch bar encoder and OLED display provide a convenient direct response. Aria x2 wireless management integration and NFC configuration further its setup and control ease for lighting designers working in diverse settings

The IP65-rated enclosure protects the KL PAR IP COMPACT from water, dust, and other environmental factors, ensuring reliable performance in even the harshest conditions. The fixture’s rugged construction is built for the rigors of outdoor sets and stages while also keeping it cleaner and dust free for long-term indoor installations.
