Lighting and Sound America had an article reviewing the new Design Panel 72IP MKII Color Wash fixture – from the review, it sounds like it’s a bright and reactive fixture with lots of potential. L+SA mentions several aspects about the fixture, and some verbage from Elation:
“Users of outdoor lighting are demanding greater brightness,” said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. “With its 3W LEDs, the Design Panel 72IP MKII is the highest output IP-rated LED color wash we have ever developed and one of the brightest you’ll find anywhere. Its IP 65 rating makes it impervious to wet outdoor conditions. And its many design features, along with user benefits such as low energy draw, make it a great solution for a wide range of color wash applications, indoors or out.”
The Design Panel is rocking 72 of Luxeon’s K2 LEDs – 24 each of red, blue, and green – and has an IP rating of 65. The unit is DMX controlled, or can be used in its “stand alone” mode, with 48 pre-set scenes. You can also daisy chain 16 units together for large surfaces.
