Elation is expanding its KL Key Light Series of LED Fresnel luminaires with the IP65-rated KL FRESNEL IP Series, bringing the familiar character of a true Fresnel to any environment.
Available in weather-ready six-inch or eight-inch models with versatile design options, KL FRESNEL IP fixtures project soft-field light across the full colour spectrum. They meet the strict standards of light-critical, noise-sensitive venues such as broadcast studios and theatres.
Built for any environment and engineered to simplify setup, each fixture uses an RGBMA engine combined with customised optics to enable precise colour reproduction across a stage or studio system from rich saturates to subtle pastels and dynamic white light.
For a more cohesive rig, whether building a new system, upgrading, or expanding an existing one, the KL FRESNEL IP fixtures are perfectly calibrated with the wider KL and FUZE families to maintain consistent, high-quality colour throughout any space.
The KL FRESNEL IP produces colour-stable, camera-ready light with variable colour temperature adjustment and full colour control. Calibrated at 6000 Kelvin for a beautifully diffused wash, balanced, full-spectrum output ensures natural skin tones and accurate colour.
Colour rendering is of the highest quality, with high CRI (94) and TLCI (95) values, ensuring extremely accurate colour reproduction both to the eye and to the camera. CMY emulation supports familiar programming styles, while the fixtures can fine-tune looks using a virtual gel library or correct colour drift with a green–magenta shift adjustment.
Capable of matching camera white balance, users can easily adjust the colour temperature between 2400K and 8500K for precise tuning, while a dim-to-warm function emulates classic incandescent warmth. Smooth 16-bit dimming curves and a variable strobe provide nuance and impact for dynamic designs.
Designed for precision and flexibility, an internal motorized 8°–60° zoom preserves classic Fresnel behavior with the smooth falloff that designers expect in a compact, easy-to-rig form while adjustable 8-leaf barndoors allow precise beam shaping.
Optimised for broadcast and live performance, the fixtures remain whisper-quiet and offer an LED refresh rate up to 25 kHz for high-speed camera compatibility. Multiple DMX-controllable fan modes—from High to Silent—support both open-air shows and camera-critical environments, reducing maintenance and ensuring reliable performance.
The KL FRESNEL IP is portable and rugged, designed for crews who move quickly and rig often on today’s fast-paced sets. A lightweight, IP65-rated design protects against dust, rain, and outdoor exposure while maintaining a studio-clean aesthetic.
Smart setup tools, including NFC configuration, a rear-facing LCD interface with dual encoders, and Aria X2 wireless DMX, speed installation from prep to programming. DMX controllable with full RDM support, it offers intuitive manual control for standalone operation, enabling instant adjustment of zoom, intensity, colour temperature, green shift and other key settings.
On camera or on stage, indoors or outdoors, the KL FRESNEL 6 IP and 8 IP deliver reliable performance that holds up under demanding schedules and outdoor conditions while reducing maintenance and downtime. The result is a Fresnel that looks classic, feels modern in its control, and delivers reliable performance wherever it needs to shine.
The KL FRESNEL 6 IP and KL FRESNEL 8 IP are available now through authorised Elation dealers worldwide.
