Flashes of Brilliance
Elation’s High-Power DMX Protron Color & Protron Star
Strobe Effects Blast 1500-Watt Output From 750-Watt Lamp
LOS ANGELES – In a flash of genius, Elation Professional has come up with a way to double the power and brightness of a strobe light. The company has introduced two revolutionary DMX strobe effects, the Protron Color and Protron Star, each of which projects a powerful 1500-watt output from a 750-watt lamp.
The Protron Color and Protron Star “magically” multiply their wattage using a breakthrough feature called “Flash Burst.” The Flash Burst feature enables the Protron Color and Protron Star to flash at a super high speed, about three times as fast as a conventional strobe (up to 15 flashes per second!). This ultra-fast flashing creates a blinder effect that intensifies the strobe’s output to 1500 watts.
Yet, despite their intensely brilliant output, the Protron Color and Protron Star will not overheat and “thermal out.” That’s because the fixtures utilize advanced Thermal Sensing Technology, which prevents them from becoming too hot.
“The Protron Color and Protron Star represent a remarkable breakthrough in strobe light technology,” said John Lopez, sales manager for Elation Professional. “Now you can get amazing 1500-watt brightness from a strobe with a 750-watt lamp, thanks to the revolutionary Flash Burst feature. These super high-power units are great for larger venues, or any club or installation that wants an incredibly brilliant strobe effect.”
Both the Protron Color and Protron Star are DMX compatible, allowing them to be run from any standard DMX-512 controller. The high-speed Flash Burst feature becomes operational when the units are in the DMX Mode. Both fixtures also include a Stand Alone mode with selectable flash intensity and speed.
As its name indicates, the Protron Color is a color strobe effect, while the Protron Star flashes in white only. Here is a closer look at the two units:
Protron Color – Along with its ultra-brightness, the Protron Color offers the ability to strobe in multi colors. It includes a scroller with three colors – red, blue and yellow. Split colors can also be created.
What’s more, since the Protron Color utilizes conventional color gels, it offers the option of even greater color versatility. Users can simply substitute their own gels (sold separately) in different hues to strobe in whatever custom colors they desire.
The Protron Color includes five DMX channels to operate all its features. There is one DMX channel each for: Flash Speed, Flash Dimmer, Power Burst Function, Color, and Motor Speed. In the Stand Alone Mode, the Protron Color features Selectable Color or Color Scroll, in addition to Selectable Intensity and Selectable Speed.
The Protron Color has a manufacturers suggested retail price of $639.95.
Protron Star – The Protron Star projects all the vivid Flash Burst intensity as its colorful twin, however it strobes exclusively in white. It comes with three DMX channels, one each for controlling: Flash Speed, Flash Dimmer, and Power Burst Function. In the Stand Alone Mode, the Protron Star provides Selectable Intensity and Selectable Speed.
The Protron Star has a manufacturers suggested retail price of $399.95.
Both the Protron Color and Protron Star offer a Flash Range of 1-15 flashes per second, and 0-100% Dimming. Each unit comes equipped with a 750-watt ZB-300 lamp.
