Elation’s ACL 360i is a single-beam moving effect luminaire that combines the intensity of a tight ACL beam with quick-moving beam looks and continuous 360-degree pan and tilt movement. It can be used for pin-spotting or large motion effects when used in larger configurations. It is the latest and the smallest high-output luminaire in Elation’s ACL Series of narrow-beam LED effect lights. A single 60W RGBW LED combines with an advanced collimator optic lens to produce a dense and uniform 4-degree color-changing beam. Frost lens options of 10 and 45 degrees (included) can be employed to soften and spread the beam for color washing applications.
