VERSATILE SYSTEM OF RGB COLOR-CHANGING STICKS
Elation Professional, Los Angeles, CA, is offering lighting installers and designers a “Magic stick” that will create virtually any color of light whenever it’s needed – as a stunning rainbow effect. The company’s TP-60 Octostrip is a versatile system of LED color-changing sticks that works equally well mounted on a trussing or tucked away in recessed areas of buildings where “hidden” cove-type lighting is required. Manufactured by Alkalite and distributed in North America exclusively by Elation and sold as a complete lighting system, it consists of eight LED sticks plus a proprietary PD-80 controller.	Elation Professional (866) 245-6726 www.elationlighting.com
Each stick features 180 high-intensity red, green and blue light emitting diodes. At the flick of a controller switch, the LEDs can be combined to create thousands of rich, vibrant hues through RGB color mixing. The LEDs used on the Octostrip sticks are the new surface-mount style, which produce a wider beam angle and smoother field of light. This makes the system capable of creating extremely smooth, evenly distributed color over the most spacious areas, with no shadows or tonal variations.
