Elation unveils ColourTune Technology for lighting precision

Elation introduces ColourTune Technology, a lighting fixture software that allows for control over output and color accuracy across Elation’s range of full-spectrum LED lighting fixtures. With ColourTune, users can customize lighting output to meet their exact needs, whether emphasizing brightness or color fidelity. It offers a suite of features to ensure adaptability and color precision for the highest quality lighting designs.

Bob Mentele, Associate Product Manager at Elation, was instrumental in ColourTune’s development. “Our team has dedicated over a year to research, development, and testing to bring ColourTune Technology to life”, he remarks. Key features of ColourTune include Color Tuning, Output Balance, 16-bit CCT Control, White Point Adjustment, Dim to Warm, and Virtual Swatch Book Fade.

With Color Tuning, users can choose between Highest Output, Highest Fidelity, or a balanced blend of both to achieve optimal lighting performance. CCT and color settings adjust accordingly. When opting for Highest Output, the fixture prioritizes output intensity while maximizing color fidelity. Conversely, selecting Highest Fidelity prioritizes light quality while maximizing intensity. Balanced achieves the ideal blend of output and color fidelity.

Output Balance: With the new Uniform setting, users can maintain consistent intensity across multiple fixtures of the same model and/or ensure closely matched CCT and colors for differing models sharing Elation’s full-spectrum engine. The result is a more homogenous system. A Bright setting allows a fixture to output its brightest levels but sacrifices uniformity of color tone and CCT tolerances between fixtures.

16-bit CCT Control enables users to gain precise control over color temperature, allowing for minute adjustments of 1-degree Kelvin for more accurate reproduction of desired lighting hues. Furthermore, seamless color temperature crossfades that do not visibly step are possible anywhere along the 2400 K to 8500 K range.

With White Point Adjustment, users can set a desired CCT value and then mix color from that white set point to achieve the perfect tone, with the flexibility to mix colors manually or select from a virtual swatch book. Users can adjust color saturation levels via the CCT channel and match base point color temperature across incandescent and LED fixtures for more harmonious colors.

Dim to Warm emulates the warm, natural glow of tungsten lamps by seamlessly fading color temperature as the fixture is dimmed. With 16-bit control, smooth color temperature fades that do not visibly step are possible anywhere along the range from 8500 K to 2400 K.

Virtual Swatch Book Fade provides the fade between two virtual swatch book color selections for smooth transitions and dynamic lighting effects, with options to adjust pre-built swatch color points for greater color customization.

ColourTune, which can be activated or disabled as needed, is available now on select Elation fixtures, including the Fuze Teatro, KL PAR FC, KL PAR FC IP, and SOL I Blinder, and will be implemented into all new full-spectrum fixtures moving forward. Updates for current Fuze and KL fixtures are currently in progress.
