PERTH – Elation Professional products are supported in Australia and New Zealand by distributor Lexair Entertainment, who earlier this year were involved in the refresh of the entire Perth Concert Hall lighting rig on Australia’s west coast.

The choice to make the Perth Concert Hall home to Elation SixPar 300 RGBAW+UV LED fixtures was not one of the difficult ones. With the whole rig headed to LED, Alex had to audition a huge range of luminaires, and the SixPar 300s were an easy winner.
