ElektraLite elektraBar Mini
Following last year’s launch of the elektraBar, elektraLite now announces the availability of its new elektraBar Mini. Approximately half the length of the original elektraBar—23.6 inches (60cm) versus 43 inches—the elektraBar Mini promises to serve as a powerful, full-featured linear LED strip fixture delivering rich, vibrant color as well as true, brilliant, tunable white. The fixture includes eight 12W, six-in-one RGBWAI (including amber and indigo) LEDs. By mixing colors internally, the elektraBar Mini’s sophisticated diffraction lensing system provides perfectly blended single-color output. The amber component is designed to enhance white color toning, while the indigo component promises to intensify the color range for pastels and deep blues and purples. The elektraBar Mini features individual control of each pixel, allowing for more than 16 million possible colors on the eight LED emitters. With individual control of each diode for effect sequences down to two-inch increments, the fixture’s precision spacing makes it well suited for low-resolution pixel mapping and video wall applications.
