FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ELEKTRALITE LAUNCHES ELEKTRIC EYE
— New moving yoke fixture features onboard control and spinning
gobos —
FARMINGDALE, NY, August 19, 2004 — Elektralite adds to
its comprehensive range of fixtures with the Elektric Eye, which combines
the latest innovations in concept lighting with the quality and reliability
that define the Elektralite brand. This new fixture is designed to easily
adapt to a variety of applications, offering advanced functionality
and straightforward, flexible operation. The Elektric Eye was created
in response to the growing demand for high-performance, customizable
lighting products, and represents a continuation of Elektralite’s
commitment to developing progressive market-driven solutions.
Employing the powerful MSD 250/2 or HSD250 lamp, the fixture
has an incredibly wide beam angle of 19 degrees, enabling a greater
area to be covered more effectively. The DMX-controlled Elektric Eye
can pan 630 degrees and tilt 265 degrees with 16-bit resolution. It
features a stunning color wheel that offers 8 colors, along with bi-colors
and rainbow effect. The fixture also incorporates 6 rotating, indexable
gobos for amazing projections, a dimmer and strobe. The digital address
and display allows for a variety of functions to be accessed easily,
including lamp control (on/off), pan and tilt reverse, lamp hours and
fixture hours. The Elektric Eye can also be set to run without a controller
by downloading cues into the Elektric Eye’s onboard processor
for automatic replay. Additionally, the Elektric Eye can be placed in
a master/slave configuration or be controlled via a sound input. The
Elektric Eye comes complete with mounting hardware including safety
cable and a 50-foot DMX cable.
