Elation Launches KL Batten: The Next Evolution of Full-Spectrum Linear Lighting

Elation has announced the launch of the new KL Batten, the latest addition to its trusted KL Series. Designed for today’s meticulous lighting designers, the KL Batten advances linear lighting with powerful output and exceptional colour quality in a rugged, weather-ready design.

Built for stage, broadcast and outdoor environments, and engineered to simplify set up, the KL Batten represents a new generation of full-spectrum linear lighting.

A 100W RGBMA system delivers smooth, natural light with high CRI (>94) for camera-ready colour. The full-spectrum engine combines with customised optics to produce rich, balanced colour that looks as true on camera as it does to the eye. The impressively homogenised beam ensures clean, consistent blending across cycs, sets, walls and scenic elements, making it ideal for broadcast studios, theatres, and house of worship livestreams.

For a more cohesive rig – whether building a new system, upgrading or expanding an existing one – the KL Batten fixtures integrate seamlessly with the wider KL Series to maintain consistent, high-quality colour throughout any space.

Fine-tune every look with green/magenta shift, a virtual gel library, and 2400K–8500K colour correction for precise white-light tuning. CMY emulation mode supports familiar programming styles, while a dim-to-warm function emulates classic incandescent warmth.

Available in three high-performance models, the KL Batten delivers exceptional output for its size. Two integrated accessory slots accommodate lenses and accessories and each fixture ships with a glare shield and border light filter for added versatility.

• KL Batten 72 (6ft): 71,347 lumens
• KL Batten 48 (4ft): 46,744 lumens
• KL Batten 12 (2ft): 10,981 lumens

Individual pixel control enables designers to create everything from subtle colour shifts and fades to complex pixel-mapped effects. Smooth 16-bit dimming curves and a high-speed electronic shutter/strobe provide nuance and impact for dynamic visual designs.

All KL Batten fixtures feature integrated L-Track for simple mounting, while end-to-end magnetic alignment ensures precise spacing for clean, continuous linear runs. Comprehensive connectivity includes DMX, Art-Net, sACN and RDM, along with NFC configuration and Aria X2 wireless DMX for fast setup and reliable wireless control.

A durable, IP65-rated housing protects against dust and water for dependable indoor and outdoor operation, while quiet performance keeps the focus on the production, making KL Batten ideal for studios, theatres and live broadcasts.

From smooth, even coverage on walls, cycs and scenery to bold, high-impact stage looks, the KL Batten delivers the colour flexibility and brightness needed to anchor any professional lighting design. With extended warranty coverage and dedicated support, KL Batten fixtures stay show-ready from prep to curtain call.

The KL Batten is available now through authorised Elation dealers worldwide.
