Overview

Elektralite’s PaintCan is the ideal DMX color changing light fixture for Theaters, Churches, Shopping Malls, Retail Stores, Rock Tours, Exhibitions and other applications where there's an opportunity to "paint" with light.

Perfect for painting Stage Floors, Drum Kits, Backdrops, Props, Ceilings, Soffits and Walls using a near infinite palette of colors, brightness levels and beam angles derived from the fixture's CMY color mixing system, internal dimmer and zoom optics.

PaintCan is Bright – all the way from the tightest angle to the widest zoom – even at 50 feet, 60 feet or more, coverage is superb. Furthermore, unlike the MSD 250 or MSR 575, its GLA or GLC "warm" light source is ideally suited for flesh tones too – making the PaintCan equally at home lighting the fantastic or the natural! And, as the lamp doesn’t utilize a mechanical dimmer, it’s electronically precise compared to any other color changer in the industry.

PaintCan is Colorful – using a CMY mixing system that can be layered with the color dichroic wheel to enhance and deepen the color palette. In turn, any dichroic on the color wheel can be changed to suit the needs of the individual designer, for example; a primary blue (Rosco R80) could be substituted for the R78 for warmer blues

PaintCan is Programmable – colors, lighting levels and zoom settings can be programmed into the fixture's internal 48 memories for automatic playback. And, of course, PaintCan can be controlled from any external DMX device.

PaintCan is both Lightweight & Robust – weighing only 20lbs, in part due to the absence of any ballast, it can be hung almost anywhere. And, being very small – with no external color scrollers or PSUs to damage – it can be used inside a 12”x12” truss, a pre–rigged truss [the ideal truss warmer perhaps?] or on a six lamp bar with room to spare.

PaintCan is Hush, Hush – its use of variable speed fans to maintain a constant internal temperature make it extremely quiet to operate,

PaintCan is Economical – at under $1000US MSRP this fixture is very affordable – even for the most budget conscious user. And, using only a $22US lamp – the GLA or GLC 3200K – combined with variable pre–heat circuitry, owners can keep operating costs to a minimum.

PaintCan is Color Coordinated – available in Black and White to blend with or contract your decor.

PaintCan has the Designers Talking – in the words of one LD, PaintCan offers “a layer of lighting that has a lot more flexibility than either a color changer or LED color fixture. And, apart from having a better light source, the output power and zoom capability provide a lot more to work with”.

    • Fans set to normal or low speed or auto-change by way of temperature sensor. Great for theaters and churches for example where noise is critical
    • Control of individual features from the fixture without controller
    • Reset of all motors
    • Display of fixture hours and lamp hours
    • The display, upon turn on of the fixture, currently shows the dmx address number.
      From the menu this can be changed, such that upon turn on of the fixture, the display shows lamp hours.
      This is extremely useful when in an installation where knowing the hours of the lamp are just more important than what is the dmx address.
      The dmx address tends not to change in a fixed installation unless you want to “bamboozle” the poor board op.!!!
