LAS VEGAS, Nevada – November 2022 – LDI booth #1455 – elektraLite’s lighting fixtures have long been reliably making tours, studios, installations, and other professional environments a brighter place—and for a fraction of the price that many might expect. Carrying that same mission forward, the company is pleased to announce the expansion of its cost-effective Mini family with the addition of the new 60-watt, DMX-controllable Stingray Mini and Fresnel Mini, which now join the manufacturer’s existing 20-watt Stingray Mini.

“Our original Stingray Mini COB LED profile spot fixture proved to be such a popular choice among lighting designers that we decided to also make the product available in a 60-watt version, as well as simultaneously add a companion Fresnel wash fixture, both of which deliver professional-grade features and performance,” says Brandon Tsaptsinos, national sales manager for elektraLite, a division of Group One Limited. “These new fixtures are unique in the field due to their size, power, and ability to be controlled by DMX, and a number of LDs have already quickly come to depend on them to light high-profile museums, houses of worship, and TV studios around the country.”
