The Elation Platinum Spot 15R is a high-performance moving head spotlight engineered to deliver intense, sharp beams and sophisticated projection capabilities for major concert tours, television productions, and large-scale events. At its core is a bright 1,500-watt discharge lamp, renowned for its powerful output and ability to maintain rich color saturation over long throws, ensuring the beam remains vivid and defined even in large venues. The fixture's optical system is precision-crafted, featuring a motorized zoom that allows seamless adjustment of the beam angle from a tight pin spot to a broader wash, and a motorized focus mechanism to keep gobos and patterns razor-sharp on any surface. This combination of raw luminosity and optical control makes it a versatile tool for creating everything from piercing aerial effects to detailed, textured projections.

The fixture is equipped with a comprehensive suite of effects to fuel creative expression. This includes two fully rotating gobo wheels with indexable patterns—one with metal gobos and one with glass gobos—enabling a vast array of static and animated imagery. Color is managed through a full CMY (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) color mixing system supplemented by a fixed color wheel, providing access to millions of colors, including delicate pastels and deep saturated hues through subtractive mixing. Additional features like a motorized iris for beam sizing, a five-facet rotating prism for beam multiplication, and a high-speed electronic dimmer/strobe shutter offer extensive control over the beam's shape, texture, and timing. All parameters are executed with 16-bit precision, ensuring buttery-smooth transitions and fades.

Built for the rigors of touring, the Platinum Spot 15R features a robust die-cast aluminum housing with advanced thermal management and a quiet mode suitable for broadcast environments. It offers comprehensive control via DMX, RDM, and wireless protocols, and includes a universal power supply for global compatibility. By combining high-output discharge lighting with a full-featured effects engine and precise movement, this moving head stands as a professional workhorse, capable of fulfilling the roles of a sharp profile spot, a pattern projector, and a dynamic beam light in the most demanding production settings.
