Elation Platinum Spot 5R Pro

The Elation Platinum Spot 5R Pro is a high-performance moving head spot fixture designed for professional lighting environments where power, speed, and versatility are essential. Built to deliver superior output with a compact and lightweight form factor, the 5R Pro is engineered to handle touring, corporate events, live stage applications, houses of worship, and fixed installations. Its combination of brightness, feature set, and energy efficiency makes it a reliable choice for lighting designers seeking impactful visuals in a manageable package.

At the core of the fixture is the Philips Platinum 5R lamp, which produces an output comparable to older 575W fixtures, despite drawing significantly less power and generating less heat. The lamp has a color temperature of 8,000K, offering crisp, white light that enhances color mixing and gobo projections. With an impressive beam intensity and a zoom range that supports sharp spot projection and wide-angle washes, the fixture performs well in both mid-sized and large venues. The fast-moving head mechanism ensures precise and responsive pan/tilt movement, allowing for dynamic lighting effects across stages or architectural settings.

Feature-wise, the Elation Platinum Spot 5R Pro is equipped with a wide array of professional tools. It includes a rotating gobo wheel with interchangeable glass gobos, a fixed gobo wheel, a color wheel with vibrant dichroic filters, motorized focus, and a frost filter to simulate wash effects. The fixture also offers a rotating 3-facet prism for multi-beam effects, enhancing visual complexity during shows. These features are supported by smooth 16-bit movement and dimming curves, allowing for seamless transitions and subtle lighting control.

The unit supports DMX control via standard 3-pin and 5-pin connectors and is RDM-compatible for remote monitoring and addressing. With multiple control channel modes, it integrates easily into existing lighting systems. The onboard LCD menu makes for intuitive setup, and the fixture includes robust mounting options for truss or floor use.

Durability and reliability are at the forefront of the 5R Pro’s design. It’s built with a rugged, tour-ready housing that’s lightweight yet tough, ensuring it can handle the rigors of frequent transport and demanding environments. For professionals needing a solid all-around fixture that offers the punch of a larger unit without the bulk, the Elation Platinum Spot 5R Pro remains a dependable and impactful choice.
