Elation expands its KL “Key Light” series of LED Fresnel luminaires with the new KL FRESNEL IP series with IP65 rating, bringing the classic character of a true Fresnel—soft edges, natural falloff, and high-quality color—to any environment.
Available in weather-ready 6-inch and 8-inch models with versatile design options, the KL FRESNEL IP fixtures deliver soft, even light across the color spectrum. They meet the demanding standards of environments sensitive to both light quality and noise, such as broadcast studios and theatres.
Consistent, high-quality color
Designed for any environment and engineered to simplify setup, each unit incorporates an RGBMA engine combined with custom optics, enabling precise color reproduction across stage or studio systems, from rich saturated tones to subtle pastels and dynamic white light.
For more cohesive systems—whether new installations, upgrades, or expansions—the KL FRESNEL IP fixtures are perfectly calibrated with the KL and FUZE families, ensuring high-quality color consistency throughout the space.
The KL FRESNEL IP produces color-stable, camera-ready light with variable color temperature adjustment and full color control. Calibrated at 6000 Kelvin for a beautifully diffused wash, its balanced full-spectrum output ensures natural skin tones and accurate color reproduction.
- KL FRESNEL 6 IP: 250W RGBMA LED, 7,400+ lumens
- KL FRESNEL 8 IP: 500W RGBMA LED, 16,000+ lumens
Color and beam management
Color rendering is of the highest quality, with high CRI (94) and TLCI (95) values, ensuring extreme accuracy both to the eye and on camera. CMY emulation supports familiar programming workflows, while the fixtures can fine-tune looks using a virtual gel library or correct color drift with a green–magenta shift adjustment.
Capable of matching camera white balance, users can easily adjust the color temperature between 2400K and 8500K for precise tuning, while the dim-to-warm function recreates the classic warmth of incandescent lamps. Smooth 16-bit dimming curves and a variable strobe provide nuance and impact for dynamic designs.
Classic, configurable, and quiet
Designed for precision and flexibility, they feature an internal motorized zoom from 8° to 60° that preserves classic Fresnel behavior with smooth light falloff, in a compact, easy-to-rig format. Additionally, adjustable 8-leaf barndoors allow precise beam shaping.
Optimized for broadcast and live performance, these fixtures operate very quietly and feature an LED refresh rate of up to 25 kHz for high-speed camera compatibility. Multiple DMX-controllable fan modes—from high output to silent—support both outdoor use and camera-critical environments, reducing maintenance and ensuring reliable operation.
Built for any environment
The KL FRESNEL IP is portable and rugged, designed for technical crews working at speed in modern productions. Its lightweight IP65-rated design protects against dust, rain, and outdoor exposure, while maintaining a clean, studio-friendly aesthetic.
Smart setup tools, including NFC technology, a rear-facing LCD interface with dual encoders, and Aria X2 wireless DMX, streamline installation from prep to programming. DMX controllable with full RDM support, it also allows intuitive manual control in standalone mode, enabling instant adjustment of zoom, intensity, color temperature, green shift, and other key parameters.
Whether on camera or on stage, indoors or outdoors, the KL FRESNEL 6 IP and 8 IP deliver reliable performance under demanding conditions, reducing maintenance and downtime. The result is a Fresnel with a classic aesthetic, modern control, and reliable performance wherever it is needed.
