Europe/USA - Elation has launched ‘a new era of high-impact beam lights’ with the Proteus Radius, a compact, high-intensity IP66 Beam FX fixture powered by a LILI (Laser Illuminated Lighting Instrument) light engine.
LILI is new technology that offers benefits such as a tighter, sharper and brighter beam, improved energy efficiency, better light quality, and increased adaptability. The Proteus Radius’s laser-based LILI light engine produces a remarkably bright, concentrated beam of light that can span impressively long distances. The ultra-narrow beam cuts through as a solid column of dense light, adding attention-grabbing impact. Highly efficient with little heat produced, the LILI engine boasts a long life of 10,000 hours without significant degradation in brightness or quality, keeping replacement and maintenance costs low.
Eric Loader, Elation global vice-president sales, comments: “LILI sources will continue to drive innovation in our lighting products. These laser-based technologies are set to improve energy efficiency, light quality, and adaptability, allowing for more creative and high-performing solutions across the entertainment lighting industry. They provide the ideal output for longer throw distances with lower energy consumption, extended lifespan, and reduced maintenance compared to traditional short-arc discharge lamp sources.”
The Proteus Radius’s efficient 100W LILI light engine delivers an ultra-intense 0.9˚ beam that slices through even vast spans of space. The powerful beams combine with a full complement of design features that allow designers to compose an array of aerial effects with ease. The Proteus Radius is available as a Class 1 Risk Group 2 Laser Product, meaning it requires no federal operator variance for use in the United States (local regulations still apply).
