Elation Professional continues to make significant strides in the development of theatrical and broadcast-grade luminaires with launch of the new KL PAR FC™. Elation designers have taken modern technology and paired it with classic design to create this new full-color LED PAR light in the company’s popular KL “Key Light” Series. Ideal for broadcast environments, film, theatre, or any production requiring outstanding color quality, the KL PAR FC is a highly effective key, fill, and area wash light source.

High quality, highly flexible
The KL PAR FC houses a highly efficient 280W RGBMA LED engine with CCT adjustments possible from 2,400K – 8,500K for precise color temperature control. The full-spectrum LED engine emits beautifully diffused saturates and soft-field pastels, including tunable white light. The unit produces the finest quality of light with high CRI (92) and TLCI (95) values, meaning that color re-creation is extremely accurate both to the eye and to the camera. Output is up to 11,000 field lumens – equivalent to existing 750W tungsten PAR fixtures.
