Elation is showing attendees at the LDI tradeshow in Las Vegas the company’s next frontier in lighting. The Paragon series combines sleek design, cutting-edge technology, and reliability.
“At the heart of Elation's LDI exhibit, the Paragon series stands as a whole new class of LED profile luminaires,” the Elation announcement states. “Designed for applications requiring superior output, powerful beams, ultra-quiet operation, and stunningly precise gobos, colors, and framing cuts, it features Elation’s custom TruTone variable CRI technology, enabling designers to achieve intelligent adaptability with exact control over color fidelity.”
"We are extremely excited to present Paragon, a masterfully designed lighting solution that perfectly underscores our commitment to pioneering innovation in lighting technology, backed by years of dedicated research and development,” says Elation Product Manager Matthias Hinrichs. “With Paragon, we’ve set a new benchmark for fixture adaptability and creative control with a standard of features that is unprecedented in an automated moving head.”
Each Paragon fixture combines CRI technology and robust construction for indoor or outdoor performance.
“Lighting designers will be amazed by the accuracy and detail they can achieve from these luminaires, whether they're lighting a concert stage, theater production, or corporate event,” Hinrichs exclaims. “I have no hesitation in saying it is the most compact, lightweight, and feature-rich design for a professional lighting product on the market today. It really is a paragon of innovation and is the most state-of-the-art fixture Elation has ever produced.”
Precision and Control
The Paragon series is built around a custom-designed white LED engine and Elation’s TruTone variable CRI system, designed for flexibility so designers can find the best blend of lighting intensity and color accuracy. TruTone allows seamless adjustment from CRI 70 to CRI 93, offering a true variable color fidelity that enhances mixed color tones and enables precise white spectrum adjustments.
This level of control is made to allow designers to customize and adjust the lighting with accuracy to match any scene or artistic requirement. With TruTone, Paragon can play a dual role in a single show, such as a key light with high CRI in one scene and an effect light with high output in the next.
Paragon features Elation’s fastest and quietest CMY color mixing array ever developed alongside a variable linear CTO. This combination, along with its color rendering and beam control flexibility, enables designers to create more seamless transitions and more exacting visuals. Whether using subtle color transitions or bold, dynamic effects, Paragon allows lighting professionals broad creative possibilities.
One product, multiple applications
The Paragon combines multiple fixture roles in a single, adaptable design. Its precision-engineered profile lens can be interchanged with a Fresnel Wash or PC Beam lens for greater flexibility. One fixture, multiple applications: Profile, Beam, Wash, Low or High CRI.
IP54 Flexibility
Built to endure inclement weather and withstand the rigors of tough show schedules, Paragon’s IP54 weatherproof rating offers protection against water and dust ingress. It can be used in any indoor space and temporary outdoor environments, bringing versatility for multi-event use. IP54 allows for a more compact, lightweight design with greater output and is designed to eliminate many compromises associated with IP65 fixtures.
Paragon comes with extended warranty coverage, which includes protection for the first three years of operation and a five-year warranty on the LED array.
Available in Two Models
The Paragon series is available in two high-performance models designed for various professional lighting applications.
- Paragon SFeaturing a 550W white LED engine with 20,500 lumens of total fixture output, Paragon S offers a fast zoom range from 5° to 50° to cover tight beam to wide wash applications. Its comprehensive FX package includes seven rotating glass gobos, 9 fixed metal gobos, a full animation wheel, overlapping dual prisms, dual frost, and a high-speed iris. The animation wheel’s easy interchange design allows for custom wheels or the option to use a 7-fixed-gobo disc. The indexable framing system allows precise beam shaping with full-blackout shutter cuts, while the 7-position color wheel, including a UV filter, provides even more creative flexibility.
- Paragon M
With a powerful 900W white LED engine delivering 37,000 lumens, Paragon M is a midsize fixture built to make an impact across a broad spectrum of venues. With a zoom range from 5° to 52° ensuring complete versatility, Paragon M features two wheels of 7 rotating glass gobos, a full animation wheel, dual prisms, dual frost, and a high-speed iris. Its easy-switch animation system supports interchangeable animation discs or the included 7-fixed-gobo disc, while the indexable framing with enhanced 45° blade angles allows full-blackout shutter cuts for precise beam shaping. A 6-position color wheel, including a UV filter, offers designers an even greater variety of shades.
With immersive product demonstrations and an otherworldly light show every hour, Elation’s “Experience Tomorrow” booth is where professionals can get familiar with Paragon. Elation’s experts will be at LDI Booth 2224 in Las Vegas to provide live demos of the new series and answer any questions about this new lighting solution.
