Aptly named, the EVENT COLOR is a revolutionary RGB LED color
changing fixture that comes with its own battery pack, so it can
“power on” wherever you take it, even in places where there’s no
electricity available.
The EVENT COLOR was developed in response to
market request for a practical solution to lighting events in
venues to which they are an accredited supplier, including
museums, galleries and state buildings. In such venues, the use
of cabling and additional power is often subject to strict
regulations and can be difficult to conceal. Time is also at a
premium since set-up time, after the building has closed to the
public, is often as little as one hour.
The real benefit of EVENT COLOR, is the rapid
deployment of the units - which, for one- night events, can
really make the difference. The ability to battery-charge the
units allows to offer clients a unique carbon-neutral service,
while simultaneously allowing to rapidly illuminate clients'
venues.
As a battery-powered unit, the EVENT COLOR is
designed to be self-contained. Its stand-alone status allows
rapid, cable-free, deployment of lighting equipment and frees
the designer to light objects and architecture in a way not
possible with conventionally powered and controlled units.
Equipped with 288 high-output 10mm LEDs (48 red, 120 green, 120
blue), the EVENT COLOR is ideal for adding colors to special
events and banquets, as well as tricky indoor spaces where
electrical outlets are scarce, such as hallways, entryways, and
moving scenery. The unique long-life battery-powered panel also
provides an easy way to light up trade show exhibits, runways,
and retail displays, since you do not have to worry about
connecting to a power source for at least 10 hours of full-power
continuous use. Rental companies, too, will benefit from the
EVENT COLOR, since they will be able to offer their customers a
totally portable, easy-setup RGB color fixture for applications
where it previously would have been difficult—or impractical—to
use one.
Not
only is the EVENT COLOR a perfect fit for hard-to-light spaces,
it has also got an array of features that will fit a variety of
needs. It includes 14 built-in programs, a variable strobe
effect (1-18 flashes per second) 0-100% dimming, and seamless
RGB variable fade rate color mixing. Featuring flicker-free
operation, it’s also ideal for illuminating video and film
production sets.
The
panel can be controlled remotely from up to 30’ (9 meters) away,
using ELAR WR Wireless Infrared Controller, which comes included
with the EVENT COLOR. The ELAR WR Remote gives operators control
over the built-in programs, strobing, blackout and RGB mixing,
and the IR receiver on the panel itself can be placed by the
user into the proper position manually.
As
another option, the EVENT COLOR can be operated with a standard
DMX-512 controller, giving users flexibility to create their own
programs and conjure up an infinite palette of colors. The panel
can be operated in 2, 3, 4, 7, 14 or 26 DMX channel modes to
meet varying user needs. The versatile panel can also be run as
a stand-alone unit without a controller in four different modes:
Auto Run, which automatically chases through the 14 built-in
programs; Programs Mode, which lets you select a program and
adjust its different features such as speed and fade time; Sound
Active Mode, which chases through the built-in programs to the
beat of the music; and Master-Slave, which allows multiple units
to be linked and synched together via built-in XLR connectors.
Featuring a 40° beam angle, the EVENT COLOR has an impressive
output distance of 65-85 feet (20-25 meters). The compact color
panel sits on top of a base, which holds its rechargeable
battery, and attaches easily via two quarter turn locks. A 12V
power supply to recharge the battery is included with the
system.
In
addition to operating via battery power, the EVENT COLOR can be
connected to an electrical source with an AC cable from 100-240v
and can be used independently without the base. Featuring the
energy efficiency of LED lighting, it draws only 36 watts of
power. Another advantage of its LED lamps is their long
life—rated at 100,000 hours.
For a
fixture with its features and brightness, the EVENT COLOR is
remarkably compact and lightweight, making it easy to use on the
go. The color panel itself weighs only 7.7 lbs (3.5 kgs) and
measures 16.7" L x 10.3" W x 3.2" H (424 x 262 x 81 mm). The
battery pack base weighs 19.5 lbs (8.9 kgs) and measures 11.7" L
x 11.6" W x 4.6" H (297 x 406 x 117 mm).
The EVENT COLOR makes RGB LED lighting totally portable. This
battery-powered, go-anywhere system will make it possible to
have ultra-bright color mix effects in a whole range of new
applications where electricity is not readily available.
Rated
at IP20, the EVENT COLOR is not intended for permanent outdoor
installation, extended outdoor use, or operation in rain or
inclement weather.
