Elation announces the KL CYC, an LED cyc light and footlight fixture crafted for lighting designers. “Harmonizing artistic expression with cutting-edge technology, the KL CYC seamlessly transforms any space into a creative canvas for dynamic storytelling,” the announcement states. “Tailored for smooth and evenly illuminated cycloramas, sets, or wall washing applications, the KL CYC boasts an efficient asymmetrical reflector design to achieve perfect blends of diffused light, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the stage and covering significant heights with ease.”
With low-profile housing, the KL CYC is also designed for footlight positions on the downstage edge, providing versatility for stage, film, television, theme park and event lighting use. The fixture highlights performers with low-level lighting or can be placed along any stage edge, even as runway lighting, to define its boundary and create a defined performance area.
The KL CYC introduces the EdgeLight safety feature, allowing users to designate a safety light in red or blue whenever desired. The new feature, which operates even if DMX signal is lost, provides guidance for performers, alerting them to the edge of the stage and adding an extra layer of safety.
Built to be robust yet lightweight, the KL CYC comes in one-meter (KL CYC L) and half-meter (KL CYC S) models for integration into any lighting design. “Create backlighting effects that add depth to the stage, craft visually striking silhouettes, or highlight any scenic element, the KL CYC is easy to incorporate into any set design. Designed for noise-sensitive environments, the fanless operation makes the KL CYC ideal for theaters, studios, and houses of worship,” the announcement continues.
The KL CYC features Elation's RGBMA color system, which expands chromatic options into deep saturates and quality whites for uniform color or dynamic color changes. The full-spectrum, high CRI engine is designed for finer color tuning. The RGBMA system also allows for a color match with other fixtures in Elation‘s KL and Fuze ranges.
It features calibrated color temperature control and CMY and RGB emulation modes. Designers can use color reproduction and correct shifts away from pure white with the green/magenta shift adjustment and a virtual gel library. It also features white balance for camera without the need for green gels or filters, and flicker-free operation when working with high-speed cameras with DMX-adjustable LED refresh rates.
Each KL CYC unit features individual segment control for more nuanced design possibilities while dynamic effects like chases, fades, and strobes can be created. Top and bottom barndoors provide control over light output, enhancing the fixture's adaptability for various applications. A replaceable frost filter is included to soften and diffuse the beam even further when needed.
Magnetic alignment allows connectivity of multiple units for linear runs while adjustable front feet allow for angle adjustments when floor mounted. A mounting bracket attachment and power and data wire management allow the KL CYC to integrate into new designs or upgrade traditional CYC fixtures or foot lights to a modern LED fixture.
