About Elation
Based in Los Angeles, Elation was established in 1992 as part of the Centryn Group (formerly known as ADJ Group). All Elation products are developed and engineered in the USA, with sales and support offices in North America and Europe (Kerkrade, Netherlands), and distribution through a global sales network.
Elation’s mission is to inspire show creators and audiences by pushing boundaries and delivering the extraordinary through superior engineering and reliable service. We seek to transform entertainment lighting by leading in design, versatility, and sustainability. Elation’s values encompass a commitment to excellence, attention to detail, simplicity and clarity, a people-first mindset, and a culture of trust, unity, and mutual respect.
Customer focused
Elation is about people and has always been a customer-focused company. We work hard to not only listen but also act on and respond to market demands and our customers’ needs. This vision to bring innovative yet practical solutions to the entertainment market based on clients’ needs and requirements has helped to develop our reputation as a receptive and responsive manufacturer and is the root of our hard-earned reputation for Total Support.
Unlocking Creativity
Elation offers a complete lighting toolbox of award-winning products, purpose-built for our markets yet flexible across applications. We have always strived to unlock new creative possibilities through innovation and work closely with lighting designers to bring lighting products to market that fit their needs and requirements.
Leading Innovation
An early adopter of LED technology, Elation helped to drive the industry toward the adoption of energy-efficient Chip on Board (COB) systems providing multi-color mixing. Elation product developers uncovered a unique RGBMA chipset that delivers superior full-spectrum light quality and color accuracy and has integrated it into its FUZE and KL lines for seamless system-wide consistency. Another innovation in color technology has been SpectraColor, a hybrid color mixing system that combines traditional CMY color mixing with RGB flags and variable CTO.
A recent development, TruTone, featured in our flagship Paragon line, marks a new era in color rendering. Designed to address the long-standing trade-off between light intensity and color accuracy, TruTone enables variable adjustment from CRI 73 to CRI 93 without visible artifacts, stepping, or shifts in color temperature. It allows a single luminaire to function as both a high-output effect light and a high-fidelity key light with superior color rendering.
Another leading innovation is Proteus, a landmark product line that has set a new benchmark in IP65-rated fixtures. Engineered to be properly weatherproof without compromising designer freedom, Proteus is the best-selling Elation product line to date, with the IP65/66 rating now available across the complete product portfolio.
Diversified Portfolio
The Elation brand has diversified beyond luminaires into control and effects through Obsidian Control Systems, and Magmatic, a comprehensive line of atmospheric effects. The acquisition of X-Laser is a further step in this expansion into adjacent visual technologies.
Sustainable Practices
Elation today also prioritizes sustainable practices across the board, with significant infrastructure investment and Green initiatives. Both the Los Angeles and Kerkrade headquarters make use of massive solar arrays, offsetting over a million pounds of carbon annually. The company supports reforestation via PLANT-MY-TREE, provides EV charging stations, and maintains WEEE registration for responsible recycling.
Elation products have collected numerous prestigious industry awards over the years– from PLASA, NAB, LDI, PLSN and others – and we continue to experiment with new technologies. We remain part of the industry’s most exciting projects across the globe, and our list of references is always growing. We invite you to take a closer look at www.elationlighting.com
