R90 Lighting covers Seattle and beyond with Elation LED lighting

One of Seattle’s largest lighting rental houses, R90 Lighting, often turns to Elation Professional products to light a wide scope of projects and has recently added more Elation fixtures to its rental inventory. R90’s new acquisition includes an LED package of Fuze Max Profile, Fuze Wash FR, Proteus Rayzor 760, Artiste Picasso and Paladin Panel luminaires.

The first fixture in Elation’s Artiste series, the Artiste DaVinci, became R90’s first move into a larger, full-scale LED-based moving head and they followed that up with the Artiste Picasso, 27 of which they supplied to the recent Fleet Foxes tour with lighting design by Ali “Blue” Allison.

As LED technology advanced further, R90 became interested in other LED lines from Elation like the KL, Paladin and most recently, the Fuze series. “We invested in the Fuze Wash FR and Fuze Max Profile with the intention of using them on live stream and hybrid events in the AV market”, states R90 owner Joe Cole. “We partner with several studios in town and the high CRI engine has become really important for those.” R90 uses their Fuze Max Profiles on all types of projects and “wherever a good spot fixture is needed”, he says, adding that they are bright enough to be used in rock and roll settings as well. “When all of our Picassos are out of the shop, we’ve been able to use them on concerts.”

As livestreams became more prevalent over the course of the pandemic, R90 branched out with Elation’s broadcast-optimized KL line. “Having more TV-friendly gear put us ahead of the game in terms of being a live entertainment company as we see that technology becoming more and more viable”, says Cole. As R90’s inventory of thirty KL Panels see more service on broadcast projects, Cole says they’ve been able to get more and more film people on board. One of the projects on which R90’s KL Panels took part was “Sessions in Place”, a live-streamed concert series from the Seattle area that began in 2020.

Elation’s Proteus Rayzor 760, an IP65 LED wash luminaire, is another key addition to the R90 inventory. The company has experience with other Proteus range lights as well including the Proteus Excalibur, which they used as a searchlight effect during the 2022 Watershed Festival. R90’s Paladin Panels have stayed busy as well, lighting up an event called “Field to Table” in which the Seattle Seahawk’s stadium was transformed into an open-air dining experience; and Nordstrom’s downtown Seattle building on which a Ukrainian flag was created with help from Paladin Panels and SixPar 300s.
