Elation introduces the KL PAR IP Compact, a full-spectrum LED Par fixture in the company’s KL “Key Light” series. It is designed for indoor and outdoor productions. “This IP65-rated broadcast-grade luminaire pairs modern technology with classic design, serving as an excellent key, fill, and area wash light source for broadcast environments, theater, film, or any production requiring outstanding color quality,” according to the announcement.
Color Quality
The KL PAR IP Compact houses a 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 diffused saturates, soft-field pastels, and tunable white light, allowing for a 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,” the release states. “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.”
Versatile Features
Designed for durability and portability, the KL PAR IP Compact has several features that make it a 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 to diverse production requirements. Optional 6.25” barndoors further enhance its capabilities.
Optimized for Broadcast Requirements
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.
Flexible Control
DMX control and RDM support offer control and integration, while manual access and standalone operation via the touch bar encoder and OLED display provide a direct response. Aria x2 wireless management integration and NFC configuration further its setup and control ease for lighting designers working in diverse settings.
Environmental Conditions
The IP65-rated enclosure protects the KL PAR IP Compact from water, dust, and other environmental factors, designed for reliable performance in even the harshest conditions. The fixture’s construction is built for the rigors of outdoor sets and stages while also keeping it cleaner and dust free for long-term indoor installations.
“The KL Series by Elation delivers studio-quality lighting solutions, combining advanced LED technology and elegant design. These products provide exceptional performance for broadcast, theater, and live event applications, allowing designers to explore endless possibilities to create unforgettable experiences for their audiences,” the announcement concludes
