Highlite announced the expansion of the Infinity Raccoon series with the introduction of four new models within the Raccoon range: Raccoon P7/7, Raccoon Junior P4/7, Raccoon Junior P7/4, Raccoon S420/4, and Raccoon W40/4. These models were designed to meet the demanding requirements of high-end lighting applications.
The Infinity Raccoon series offered unmatched performance, advanced control options, and a robust IP65 construction, making it a competitive and suitable choice for professionals in television studios, theaters, museums, and many other applications.
The Infinity Raccoon series featured meticulous attention to detail in color calibration, advanced control functions, and robust build quality. Each device in the range offered a wealth of features designed to provide exceptional lighting experiences, setting new standards for the industry.
The series was intelligently structured with a naming scheme that simplified understanding. The Raccoon Pars were available in both large and small housings, and utilized 4 or 7 color LEDs. The distinction was clear: the "P" stood for "Par," while the numbers indicated the number of LEDs and colors of each device. Additionally, the Raccoon S420/4 with 420 RGBW LEDs combined strobe and wash effects to offer a dynamic lighting solution for a wide range of applications, while the Raccoon W40/4 provided abundant wash effects thanks to its 40 RGBM LEDs.

All Raccoon Par lighting devices shared common features such as high brightness and superior color rendering, IP65 rating, seamless switching between maximum brightness and high color quality modes, calibration standards aligned with the Infinity Signature series for great color uniformity, versatile control options including xy modes, DMX, RDM, and manual modes, an advanced software engine that ensured stable color output under varying conditions, and flicker-free performance with adjustable PWM frequency and uniform behavior across all devices. The main differences were overall brightness, the number of colors in the LED light source, and housing size.

The Raccoon S420/4 offered combined strobe and wash effects with a 110-degree beam angle. Its wash effects provided up to 30,400 lumens and utilized white LEDs with a high CRI of 92. The ultra-bright strobe effect was powered by 35 CW LEDs, delivering over 72,000 lumens in strobe mode and more than 54,200 lumens in continuous mode.
With over 41,400 lumens, the Raccoon W40/4 produced powerful wash effects thanks to its 15-watt RGBM LEDs. It offered 5 individually controllable sections and a 10-degree beam angle while utilizing a high refresh rate of 12,000 Hz.
In addition to the basic devices, a range of accessories was available, including barndoors, top hats, filter frames, diffusing filters, and more, enhancing the versatility of the Raccoon series.
