Martin ELPCL LED ELLIPSOIDAL PROFILE FULL COLOR

Martin ELP CL (Color) LED ellipsoid fixtures deliver the class-leading luminance, output and vivid color rendering that you’ve come to expect from Martin. Ergonomic Danish engineering offers advances in lighting functionality that include the highly efficient gear-based Fine Focus—an industry first; and Fast Focus which allows focusing of the fixture without data flowing to it. ELP also offers 16-bit dimming with 4 selectable curves and 26 color presets that match industry-standard color filters. ELP fixtures can be configured with one of four Martin lens tubes in 19, 26, 36 and 50-degree beam angles and are compatible with third-party lens tubes along with a wide range of accessories including gel frames and gobos for flexibility in lighting design and inventory management.

Superior output, optics and color rendering, combined with unparalleled ease-of-use and convenience, make Martin ELP CL the leading Color LED ellipsoidal fixture in its class. ELP Zoom Lenses expand the versatility of the line with two industry-standard beam ranges and two housing color variants available in 15-30 degree and 25-50 degree beam ranges, in black or white housing.

Strobe lights usually use flashtubes with energy supplied from a capacitor, an energy storage device much like a battery, but capable of charging and releasing energy much faster. In a capacitor-based strobe, the capacitor is charged up to around 300 V. Once the capacitor has been charged, to trigger the flash a small amount of power is diverted into a trigger transformer, a small transformer with a high turns ratio. This generates the weak but high-voltage spike required to ionize the xenon gas in a flash tube. An arc is created inside the tube, which acts as a path for the capacitor to discharge through, allowing the capacitor to quickly release its energy into the arc. The capacitor’s energy rapidly heats the xenon gas, creating an extremely bright plasma discharge, which is seen as a flash.
