About the Elation Platinum Beam 5R Moving Light
The Elation Platinum Beam 5R is a high-output, compact moving head beam light designed for professional stage, touring, and installation applications. This fixture leverages a potent 440-watt white light source to produce an intense, concentrated beam with exceptional brightness and a very long throw distance, making it ideal for creating aerial effects, sharp beam tunnels, and dramatic visual statements in large venues. The optical system is engineered for precision, featuring a motorized zoom that allows the beam angle to be adjusted smoothly from an extremely tight, laser-like spot to a wider fan beam, providing immense versatility from a single fixture. Its defining characteristic is the inclusion of a vibrant, full-color RGBW LED ring positioned in front of the main lens, which adds dynamic color framing, aerial colorization, and eye-catching peripheral effects to the brilliant white core beam.
Constructed with a durable, lightweight housing, the Platinum Beam 5R is built for rigorous use. It offers fast, silent, and accurate pan and tilt movement with a wide range, enabling rapid repositioning and complex movement patterns. The fixture incorporates a sophisticated set of effects, including a high-speed mechanical strobe, variable pulse effects, and customizable macros. A rotating gobo wheel with multiple indexed and rotating gobo options, combined with a separate fixed gobo wheel, allows for the projection of intricate patterns and textures. All these features are managed via a sophisticated control system that is compatible with standard DMX protocols, allowing for seamless integration into any existing lighting rig.
Designed for reliability and ease of maintenance, the fixture features a user-replaceable lamp and accessible design elements to minimize downtime. Its thermal management system ensures stable operation even during extended use. The Platinum Beam 5R delivers a professional feature set in a relatively compact form factor, offering a powerful beam effect with the added dimension of color ring framing. It stands as a versatile and impactful tool for lighting designers seeking to add piercing beams and modern, colorful aerial effects to their visual palette.
