We've recently upgraded our profile inventory and want to pass our old system to a worthy home. This is a great deal for someone in the Southern California area who has access to a truck.The fixtures originally came to us from Visions Lighting and have been in service with us for 3 years...

Hello. I'm having a bit of an issue with some Elation 6 par 200's at a new place I'm working. Many of them have varying issues with bad PCB boards and/or LED drivers from being left on previously all the time. This particular one won't unlock, at all. Holding down [mode] doesn't work, and...

We finally came up with a solution to replace the house lights in our gymatorium for our church. We used the Elation Fuze Pendant . We had great support from Robert Mentele with Elation. He took our room sizes and trim height and did a full rendering. This assured us of getting even coverage...

Any one have experience diagnosing flickering issues on Elation wash movers?My client has some Elation Platinum Wash ZFX units in a permanent event space install. I do an annual maintenance sweep for them. Last year a couple of the units started to flicker when they get close to full on (R...

My SIXPAR 200s don’t seem to be responding correctly to color values. When I pick a deep red, one fixture is correct but all the others look magenta. Similar for cyan and blue. They are profiled correctly and the same (6Ch) and patched correctly in the Ion (SIXPAR 200) but only one appears to...

I'm designing a 4D simulation using an Alcorn McBride V16 Pro as the base controller. For the lights, the V16 has MIDI out which I'm sending to an SD2 lighting board. The issue is that the MIDI format is different than standard MIDI (e.g. it uses its own message format instead of 0-127). Does...

Obsidian Control Systems has appeared out of the blue. Seems to be a fork of Elation Professional. Obsidian's website gives a basic preface to the company and their intentions. A paragraph under the "Shorty About Us" section tells us that the core development team has worked on the known MAXXYZ...

A couple years ago, I had a problem with an Elation Magic 260, and was frustrated by what turned out to be the fix. I thought I'd put the story here so that other poor saps might have a chance of running across it while searching the Google.First, not the console I would have chosen, but it...

Hi Guys,I am having an issue with 1 of my Elation Design Spot 250 Pro's, It has a tilt error. Below is a video of the fixture powering on doing self checks twice and then it starts to randomly try to tilt. I have changed the PCB with the 2 sensors on (PCB0035A) with another fixture an the...

Hi all,Would love to get some suggestions on how to fix this problem.My brand new elation platinum hfx that is hanging in my venue has an (also) brand new lamp just put into it. Since installation is has started buzzing loudly while it is lamped on. The sound seems to be coming from the...

Hello all! I'm currently struggling try to get my Elation dimmer pack where all four dimmers can be used. I don't think there's a problem with any of the dimmers or the 3 pin XLR I'm running from a board into the dimmer pack. I want to be able to control all four channels. I can only do two...

Hey all,I know that these fixtures are quite new and I can't find any info on them yet so I thought I would post here and see if the CB hive mind could help.I have six Elation Fuze Par Pro z120s that are IP rated for outdoor use, as we are an outdoor theater. They are addressed to 50, 60...

Hello, I have been looking for an Elation Midicon (the original one, not the pro or v2). Others recommended it to me and it has everything I'd want out of a midi controller.Now the difficult part about all this is, that it's not 2013 anymore and I can't find a Midicon to buy from anywhere, not...

Hello, I have two Elation Platinum Spot 5r moving heads, both with tilt errors. The sensor or pcb board is not broken I have checked before. idk what to do ! The tilt moves when the fixture is doing a reset but doesn't work after that. Is it a software glitch. Or is their a way I can reset the...

So I have been going at these fixtures all day in an attempt to solve their problem. I do not want to have them sent out to have two, what I think are, simple errors to address. I have no idea how to tackle them as this would be my first real time opening up some fixtures and trying to...

Hello everyone, I've used this board in the past and appreciate all the good expertise here. I've posted in the past, but for some reason my account isn't being recognized at all, so I had to start a new one. Apologies for that. I'm working with a venue who are having what is a fairly common...

I'm an undergrad mechanical engineering student in a product design class- my team is trying to design a system that would be a plug-in to existing moving head fixtures, and would allow them to automatically track a performer. We bought the Elation Platinum LED Spot II (hasn't arrived yet), and...
