The entertainment lighting industry has long faced the challenge of achieving the perfect balance between brightness and color accuracy. Traditional LED engines have been unable to provide a comprehensive spectrum, leaving designers and gear providers with limited options. However, a groundbreaking advancement in lighting fidelity has emerged in the form of Elation’s TruTone technology.
The fundamental concept behind TruTone is ingeniously simple yet profoundly impactful: a fusion of high and low white CRI LEDs into a single, high-density optical array that allows for CRI adjustments across a range from CRI 70 to 93. Matthias Hinrichs, Elation Product Manager, played a pivotal role in TruTone’s development and highlighted the limitations of previous systems, emphasizing the need for a flexible solution in adjusting color rendering in a single fixture to cater to various lighting needs.
TruTone’s innovative fluid adjustment, facilitated by sophisticated algorithms and meticulous engineering, ensures optimal performance and efficiency along the 70 to 93 CRI range. It not only accommodates a broad spectrum of applications, but also eliminates the need for multiple fixture variants to achieve precise color representation, offering an unparalleled level of flexibility to lighting designers.
The versatility of the TruTone system extends beyond just color accuracy. By changing the spectral composition of how a color is built, it gives designers an expanded range of color variations to choose from, allowing for the creation of stunning warm theatrical colors and an expanded palette of choices.
Elation’s new Proteus Odeon framing profile moving head is the first lighting fixture to feature the TruTone system, and the technology will be implemented into other Elation fixtures moving forward.
The impact of TruTone on the industry is undeniable, and it is poised to revolutionize the way lighting designers approach color accuracy and customization in their designs.
