After an early look at the Fuze Max at the USITT show in March, Elation Professional is now shipping the new full-spectrum LED luminaire. Available in Spot and Profile framing versions, the Fuze Max is designed for lighting applications such as theater, broadcast and houses of worship.
The Fuze Max Spot and Fuze Max Profile, both automated LED moving heads, offer full-spectrum performance from a 92 CRI engine that utilizes an 800W 5-color homogenized LED array of Red, Green, Blue, Mint, and Amber sources. The RGBMA LED engine produces fully blended colors across the color spectrum, along with whites that are tunable from 2400-8500K. The addition of Amber and Mint emitters extends the possible range of colors, including warmer tones, theatrical whites and pastels. It is designed to blend colors quickly yet smoothly with natural color transitions and no color fringing.
The carefully tuned LEDs deliver output of over 21,000 total fixture lumens. Precision control over green/magenta allows for detailed color accuracy, allowing the user to match light sources and create visual balance. Virtual color temperature plus CMY emulation provides the designer with access to the LED color array while a virtual gel library allows for recall of a variety of premixed shades.
The Fuze Max uses advanced optics for crisp projections, and dimming of the LED engine features variable 16-bit dimming curve modes. Both the Fuze Max Spot and Fuze Max Profile house a motorized zoom that can adjust the beam angle from 7-degrees to 53-degrees wide and ship with an included snoot attachment to position the beam even more precisely. The Fuze Max Profile houses a full blackout framing system with four rotating blades and +/- 60 degree indexing for full control of the beam shape when required.
Designers have access to a comprehensive FX package that includes 19 gobos across three gobo wheels in the Fuze Max Spot and 13 gobos across two gobo wheels in the Fuze Max Profile. Both fixtures offer rotating and fixed glass gobos, for aerials, textures or breakups, and an animation wheel can also be engaged to bring graphics to life. Effects can be multiplied via dual prisms (4-facet round and linear) and a dual variable frost filter (Medium/Wash) can be employed when designers wish to diffuse the light for softer gobo or wash effects. A motorized iris and high-speed electronic shutter and strobe can be engaged for further impression.
The Fuze Max is desiged for noise sensitive environments with quiet operation and Mute mode option and LED refresh rate frequency can adjust remotely to avoid flickering.
