Chauvet COLORado 2<br />
The COLORado 2, an<br />
indoor/outdoor color<br />
wash fixture, extends<br />
the COLORado series<br />
with 48 2-watt to 3-watt<br />
LEDs, RGB plus white, for<br />
precise color temperature<br />
control. The fixture<br />
responds to 3, 4, 5 or 9<br />
channels of DMX control.<br />
Encased in aluminum, the fixture has an IP66 rating and<br />
a 12,350 lux @ 2 meters output. Additional features include<br />
an LED display with password protection. The COLORado 2<br />
is compatible with the COLORado Controller. The luminaire<br />
comes with a 15-degree lens or an optional 30-degree lens.<br />
The COLORado 2 is linkable with up to 10 units at 120V. The<br />
hanging bracket allows for truss mounting and it doubles as a<br />
floor stand. An autosensing feature automatically adjusts the<br />
power to the current provided. www.chauvetlighting.com<br />
Chroma-Q Color Block 2<br />
AC Lighting’s Chroma-Q<br />
Color Block 2 LED fixture<br />
adds new single color<br />
RGBA optics, 530 lumens<br />
output (almost double<br />
the original model) and theatrical grade dimming. With its<br />
increased color palette and CRI of 90, the Color Block 2 fixture<br />
can produce a wide range of colors and hues with built-in<br />
variable color temperature capability. Four LED cells offer<br />
performers less glare and can mix together for single color<br />
output, minimizing color separation shadows. The beam<br />
optics combine a soft asymmetrical quality for uplighting<br />
surfaces and a soft Fresnel-like edge for direct illumination. As<br />
modular as its predecessor but with close to twice the output,<br />
the Color Block 2 fixture can uplight a 6-meter set, and it can<br />
be used for its strobe-like intensity and control, or for theatrical<br />
grade dimming. www.aclighting.com<br />
Elation Design LED 36 Pro<br />
Elation Professional’s Design<br />
LED 36 Pro comes in a diecast case<br />
and features 36 x 3-watt RGB LEDs<br />
(12 red, 12 green and 12 blue).<br />
Using a DMX controller, operators<br />
can custom blend RGB colors. The<br />
DLED 36 Pro can also generate<br />
changing colors as a standalone<br />
unit, since it’s equipped with preprogrammed<br />
color macros and<br />
eight built-in programs that can be called up with or without<br />
a DMX controller. The unit includes a built-in 100V-240V<br />
switching power supply, and Edison power in and out and<br />
