Taking modern technology and pairing it with a classic design, Elation has created its KL PAR FC, a full-colour LED PAR light forming part of the manufacturer’s KL “Key Light” Series. It houses a 280W RGBMA LED engine with CCT adjustments possible from 2,400–8,500K for precise colour temperature control. The full-spectrum LED engine emits diffused saturates and soft-field pastels, including tunable white light. The unit boasts high CRI (92) and TLCI (95) values, meaning that, according to Elation, the colour 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.
The KL PAR FC can adjust for light that shifts away from pure white towards green or magenta through a green–magenta shift adjustment and a virtual gel library. Capable of matching the white balance for camera, users can shift the colour temperature without the use of ±green gels and filters. Additionally, the LED refresh rate can adjust so there is no flickering when used with high-speed cameras.
Features include a 7.5-inch colour frame and multiple included lens choices (11°, 22°, 30° and 52°) that are easy to replace in the field. Optional items include 7.5-inch barndoors, an extra-wide 90° lens and a 23° ovaliser lens. DMX controllable (six DMX modes, 1–17 channels) with full RDM support, the PAR offers intuitive manual control for standalone operation when desired for instant control of intensity, colour temperature, green shift and other important settings.
