Elation Unveils Compact ELAR Image X Projector
With Ultra-Bright 32W Xenon Discharge Lamp
LOS ANGELES – Elation Architectural’s compact ELAR Image X image projector is small enough to fit on the palm of your hand, yet it’s powerful enough to shoot a sharp, brilliant gobo or image across a room. The Image X is amazingly bright for its tiny size, because it’s powered by a discharge lamp, rather than the halogen lamp found on most small image projectors. In fact, the Image X’s 32W Xenon discharge lamp is equivalent in output to a 250W halogen projector!
Thanks to its brilliant output and razor-sharp optics, the Image X isn’t limited to using only metal cut gobos, like most halogen projectors, but is brawny enough to project through glass gobos too. With glass gobos, it is possible to produce much brighter colors and crisper images -- and the Image X is definitely up to the task. Its discharge lamp operates at a color temperature of around 6,000 kelvin, much higher than the 3,200 kelvin color temperature of a halogen lamp. This higher color temperature means that the Image X creates more of a cool, fluorescent white light, allowing it to project the true, rich, lifelike colors that a glass dichroic gobo offers.
With its brightness and sharpness, the Image X is ideal for producing crystal-clear, vivid-color images and logos at retail establishments, grand openings, trade shows, merchandise displays, special events, and upscale entertainment venues. Its compact size allows it to fit into virtually any space and makes it easy to transport to exhibits and events.
“Until now, small image projectors have typically used halogen lamps,” said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional. “The Image X is a totally new, innovative kind of small projector, because it utilizes a discharge lamp and is able to project through glass gobos. It offers the best of both worlds – compact size and ultra-brightness. This little dynamo projector is perfect for a variety of applications such as retail displays, department stores, exhibits – anywhere a very bright, razor-sharp logo or image is needed.”
Users will also appreciate the easy operation and low maintenance of the Image X. Its discharge lamp lasts for 3,000 hours, compared to only 300-500 hours for a halogen lamp, so replacements are far less frequent.
The projector is available in two versions: the ELAR Image X, a stationary projector; and the ELAR Image XR, a rotating projector that’s great for splashing an image across a wider area. Both versions accept metal and glass gobos, with a gobo viewing size of 37.5mm OD x 20mm.
Built to withstand the rigors of travel, both models come housed in rugged extruded aluminum casing. With their striking futuristic, robotic-like design, the Image X and Image XR not only project gobos extremely well, they’ll also “project a great image” for the businesses and individuals who use them.
The ELAR Image X and ELAR Image XR each come with a 4’ power cord. The MSRP of the ELAR Image X is $419.95. The MSRP of the ELAR Image X is $479.95.
