Elation Artiste Picasso

The Elation Artiste Picasso is a robust, multi-functional LED framing fixture engineered for production lighting professionals requiring versatility, brightness, and creative control. Powered by a 950 W RGBW LED engine, it delivers an astonishing maximum output of around 24,000 lumens, rivaling many conventional discharge fixtures with significantly less power consumption and heat. Its optical system supports a zoom range from 6.8° to 62°, making it equally effective as a tight spot, broad wash, or mid-air beam, with design features including dual motorized zoom lenses and high-quality precision optics for sharp projection at all ranges.

At the heart of its functionality, the Picasso features a four-blade framing shutter system capable of 360° rotation and customizable beam shaping with razor-sharp cut edges or soft feathered transitions. This ensures precision control for architectural lighting, projection masking, or mid-air visual effects. The fixture also includes two gobo wheels—one rotating/indexable, one static—with seven positions each, packed with both glass and metal gobos. Additional creative tools include a bi-directional animation wheel, dual prisms (both rotating), dual frost filters for wash effects, motorized iris, and high-speed strobe. The inclusion of a CMY + linear CTO color mixing system, plus an RGBW enhancer, provides a rich palette of colors ranging from saturated primaries to calibrated whites, ideal for theatrical, broadcast, or live productions demanding color fidelity and flexibility.

Designed for versatility in large-scale productions, the Artiste Picasso comes with comprehensive control options: DMX/RDM, Art-Net, sACN, and optional CRMX wireless, with a built-in full-color menu display and local control buttons. The fixture balances dynamic movement—featuring fast, smooth pan/tilt motion with high positional accuracy—with a compact, durable tour-ready housing. Its quiet operation makes it suitable for camera-sensitive environments. Despite its feature set and power, the unit remains manageable for rigging and touring, thanks to its thoughtfully designed ergonomic handles, PowerCON and EtherCON connectors, and supportive flight case.

The Elation Artiste Picasso is a premium LED framing moving head combining exceptional brightness with extensive creative flexibility. With its powerful zoom, multi-layered effects such as rotating gobos and prisms, and versatile color engine, it suits concert touring, theatre rigs, and broadcast stages alike. Its framing shutter system offers precision shaping for visual artistry, while silent, efficient mechanics and robust build quality ensure reliable performance in demanding production scenarios—making it an essential tool for lighting designers aiming for high-impact visuals without compromise.
