Elation to Reveal the Next Chapter of Proteus at LDI 2026

A world premiere, LDI product debuts, and a hands-on Light Lab color experience await at Elation LDI Booth #3410 in Las Vegas, December 6-8.

Building on a decade of Proteus solutions, Elation will unveil two new lighting fixtures on a completely new platform.

In addition, several fixtures will make their LDI debut, including additions to Elation's Fuze, SOL, and Six+ families.

The Fuze Profile+ brings together the capabilities of a full-featured profile and a true Fresnel wash in one adaptable platform, the company says. Features include intelligent Lens Swap, RGBMA color, and a comprehensive framing and effects system.

Two fixtures expand Elation's SOL series. The SOL I ACL is billed as delivering the punch of a tight, ACL-style beam in a modular, color-changing fixture designed for use alone or in creative arrays. The SOL I Strobe combines high-output strobe effects, color and zone control in a compact, IP65-rated design.

The Six+ Panel also makes its LDI debut, expanding Elation's full-spectrum Six+ family of PARs and bars. Powered by forty 40W RGBLA+UV LEDs, it delivers nearly 47,000 lumens and serves as a wash, blinder, or strobe.

Returning to LDI, the Elation Light Lab gives lighting professionals a hands-on opportunity to compare fixtures, evaluate color performance, and explore the technologies behind Elation's approach to quality of light.

Available on most KL, Fuze, and SOL fixtures, TruSpectrum combines application-tuned FullSpectrum LED engines with ColorTuning to balance output and color fidelity, and FixtureBalancing to improve color consistency across compatible fixtures.

ColorControl brings familiar lighting functions -- including fine CCT control, white point adjustment, dim-to-warm, and virtual swatch book fade -- directly into the fixture to simplify color adjustment and transitions. It reduces programming time while giving designers greater control over how light behaves and matches other sources in the rig.

Quality of light must remain consistent throughout the dimming range, from full output to subtle fades and low-level operation. The company's 25K ultra dimming combines high-resolution intensity control with PWM frequencies up to 25kHz to support smooth dimming, including at low levels and in camera-sensitive applications.

Available on the Paragon series, TruTone is a variable white-light engine that lets users adjust a fixture's CRI to balance light output and color fidelity for the application.

SpectraColor extends conventional CMY mixing with additional red, green, and blue flags plus variable CTO, creating a seven-flag subtractive system for greater color range and precision. The added color channels provide more direct access to saturated hues and difficult-to-reach shades, with greater output efficiency for certain colors.

The Light Lab offers an opportunity to move beyond specifications and see how these technologies translate into practical creative control.
