Re: Roller Rink Wash with LED?
Hi Mikey, I have a customer who did a roller rink using Power Spot 250's and mainly the power wash 250 and cmy zoom 250 to color the floor. These would normally be ok for 20' distances, We actually recomend 250watt fixtures for up to 35' If you wanted to use LED's the DLED 36 delivers the best light output in LED using 36 1w luxeon LED's with reflectors. Best regards, JL

Re: question about the vision scan 250!
Hi Jingles, with the Vision Scan 250 out of focus you will still have a spot. However you need to remember that when you project gobos, a lot of times you will want them out of focus to give you different effects. But to answer your question you will still have a spot.

Re: Color mixing

Re: Color mixing
Hi Jonathan, I agree, I love the CMY color mixing feature. However this makes a lighting fixture a lot more expensive. Also, its dificult to fit all of these features in a light. So at Elation we are working on incorporating this feature into most of our lights. In the 250 range, if we incorporate CMY in a spot, it will be a bigger light, and be as much as a 575. So if you are already buying a big light, might as well bump up to a 575 fixture. The Elation Design Spot 575e, will be one of the...

Re: Design Wash 250 profiles
Hi John, Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately the console has been part of the house system which they are using to control some prooven reliable Entours 250 and other Martin gears. They can't return the console. I'm trying to introduce/integrate the Elation professional products with other "industry standard" professional products. I just inquire to see if others have use this kind of set up. I will try to contact Marc of CASE console again for assistance. Regards,

Re: Design Spot 250 colour wheel
Hi Toby, I think your question was more in lines of a color wheel with replaceable colors. This was suppose to happen to the Design Spot 250. However as it stands this feature will not be available with the current Design Spot 250. We have talks of a Design Spot 250LX which may be available by LDI in November. Best regards, John Lopez

Re: Compu Live Questions
John, Thank you and Jingles for your help. It all really helped! I actually went ahead and ordered the program about a week ago. Today was the first chance I've had to make sure what I had programmed matched what actually happened. I have figured out most of the bugs, but there is still one I can't quite get: My 4 moving heads (Design Spot 250) initialize to a different position than what is shown on the visualizer. For example, in reality when I look at the MH's they sit on the ground in...

Re: Compu Live Questions
Hi Matchless, Yes, I know what your talking about.. and you have a few simple modifications to work with. 1. The Design Spot 250 has two pan degree settings. The degree is the amount of spin from left to right that the light can move. It should be set to 540 degrees on the light to match the 3D window. 2. Once this is done, then on the 3D window you may want to invert the pan and tilt to match the direction of the actual light. Here is a picture to help you find the pan and tilt inversion.

Re: Compu Live Questions
Yeah, I guess I don't have a choice. It would be really nice though to see Elation somehow fix this issue with the DesignSpot 250 fixture profile. Why have the option on the light if you can't use it in real life with Elation software? Anyway, thanks again for your help John and Jingles. Thanks, Brian

Re: Vision scan 250
Hi Mike, On the Vision Scan 250 we use a Slot lock system. Just pull out the slot and pop out the gobo to replace. Our Gobos are 26.9mm OD x 23mm viewing image. So if the Qspot does not use that size then it wont fit.

Re: Design Spot 250 Color Correction
Hi TW, The Design Spot 250 does not have color correction. The easiest solution would be to have a 32K dichroic filter cut to the size of a Gobo 26.9 x 23mm viewing. Your best bet would be to contact Rosco or Apollo to get the best filter. Best regards,

Re: Nedd Help with scene transitions Newbie needs help
you could just program a blackout scene in the sequence befroe you want it to be on. just put it on a short hold time or fade time. also im not too sure about the power spots but in some lights there is whats called a "vector mode" which if u have that value selected it will black out when a either pan or tilt motor is moving or even color/gobo wheels moving. it is a cool effect, but again i didn't see it in the values of the power spot 250. peace! welcome to the forums. jingles.

Re: Replacing my controller

Re: Design spot 250
That's what I was thinking you were doing. The Design spot 250's have 2 different pan rotation settings. 1 is 540 degrees 2 is 630 degrees I believe they are set to 630 degrees from us here at the factory. this 630 degree pan setting makes alot of things not match very well. So look for the degr setting on your fixtures and set them both to 540 degree's. See how that works for you. Best regards,

Re: Stage Pak 1 how to set up?
on a side note. your spot 250 uses 6 DMX channel and the vue 3 uses 9. 9+6=15 DMX channels total. so you only have room for maybe one or two pars on the stage setter 8. might want to look into a bigger controller. like jthtigers DMX operator 192.

There was a list of MASTER and about 4 or 5 other fixtures below that. As I double clicked each one, a list of Custom, Elation, and a few others came up. In the Elation list I saw the DLED lights but not the Spot 250 or the Acclaim lights. Did see the RIVA80 lights though, which are similar to the X-eyeHD lights from acclaim.

I would look into the DS 250 Wash for that effect on the cheap. It is the cheapest CMY moving head out I believe. The CMY might not be that punchy on dark colors do to the 250w lamp however. If you are really set on that effect, and it is a great effect, I would look into the washes. Remember, washes can be used for other things too. Stuff like fading in between colors for stage washes smoothly vs color scrolling which you would need twice as many fixtures to do without being seen scrolling...
