The IYKYK events (an acronym for If You Know You Know), held in the Rose Ballroom at Resorts World December 3 and 4, provided a sneak peek of what lighting pros can expect from the Elation portfolio in 2024 with cutting-edge technology products across several upcoming lines on hand for initial feedback and demo. 

Elation's Proteus, Fuze, and KL lines saw premier product launches at LDI, including the Proteus Hybrid MAX, a next-gen hybrid fixture, the Proteus Odeon with a variable CRI LED engine, and the Proteus Radius, a high-intensity Beam FX fixture. Theatre professionals were drawn to the Fuze Teatro, a fanless framing fixture for silent operation, while the KL CYC cyclorama/set/wall wash garnered steady customer interest. Two new series of versatile Par color changers, the Six+ Par, an upgrade of the industry favorite SixPar; and the Limelight Par, a full-color mixing wash luminaire, also proved popular. The first fixtures in a new Sol line of versatile blinder effects and Pulse line of new strobe lights also debuted. 

Obsidian Control Systems continued to gain traction as designers, programmers and operators all made their way to the Obsidian booth to check out the brand’s intuitive line of NX consoles, as well as a full line of NETRON data distribution products. Obsidian also gives a shout out to Parker Buckley and Ashton D'Avanzo, who secured an LDI Battle of the Busk Jaw Dropper Award using an Obsidian NX4 console.
