About the Elation WW50 Profile LED Ellipsoidal w/ 50 Degree Lens
The Elation WW50 Profile LED Ellipsoidal is a professional-grade, energy-efficient stage lighting fixture that provides the precise optical control and sharp field definition of a traditional ellipsoidal reflector spotlight (ERS) while leveraging the benefits of modern solid-state illumination. Designed with a fixed 50-degree field angle lens system, this fixture produces a wide, hard-edged beam ideal for general stage wash, area lighting, or pattern projection where a broader coverage angle is required compared to narrower profile spots. At its core is a bright, high-color-rendering white LED engine that delivers a consistent, cool-running light output with excellent fidelity, making it particularly suitable for theatrical, television, and corporate applications where accurate color reproduction of skin tones and set elements is critical. This LED source eliminates the need for frequent lamp replacements, reduces power consumption dramatically, and operates with minimal radiant heat.
The fixture incorporates the classic feature set expected from a professional profile spot, including a four-blade framing shutter system. These independently adjustable shutters allow the beam to be precisely shaped into rectangles or other custom forms to match scenic elements, windows, or architectural details exactly. It also includes a slot for industry-standard pattern holders (gobos), enabling the projection of textured patterns, logos, or custom designs with sharp clarity. The focus mechanism is adjustable to soften or harden the edges of both the shutter cuts and gobo projections, providing full creative control. Despite its advanced technology, the WW50 maintains a familiar form factor and user experience, allowing lighting designers and technicians to utilize it with the same intuitive techniques as traditional tungsten fixtures.
Housed in a durable, die-cast aluminum body, the WW50 is built for the rigors of touring and permanent installation. It operates silently with efficient passive cooling, requiring no internal fans, which makes it ideal for noise-sensitive environments like broadcast studios, lecture halls, or intimate theater spaces. Control is straightforward via standard DMX protocol, ensuring seamless integration into existing lighting control systems. The Elation WW50 Profile LED Ellipsoidal successfully bridges the gap between classic theatrical lighting tools and modern efficiency, offering a reliable, low-maintenance, and high-performance solution for front light, specials, and pattern projection in any professional lighting inventory.
