The Elation KLB248 KL Batten 48 is built for lighting directors, production designers, and install teams who need a high-output, IP65-rated batten that performs equally well on an exposed outdoor stage or inside a broadcast studio. Delivering 39,475 lumens from 16 RGBMA LEDs, the fixture produces a wide, homogeneous wash with a CRI of 94.9 and TLCI of 95, making it suitable for camera-facing applications where color accuracy is non-negotiable. For touring and festival production, the KLB248 offers weatherproof DMX, Ethernet, and power connections with locking IP65-rated cables, minimizing downtime in wet conditions. The 34 DMX channel modes scale from single-channel simplicity to 217-channel full pixel control, giving lighting programmers the granularity needed on complex festival or broadcast rigs. The fully variable CCT range from 2400K to 8500K, combined with green/magenta shift and a virtual gel swatch book, removes the need for physical gels in most scenarios. Where comparable batterns rely on basic connectivity, the KLB248 adds RDM, NFC configuration, and Aria x2 wireless device management, reducing setup time in large multi-fixture arrays. The included glare shield and border light filter expand its utility from cyc lighting to footlight and border applications without additional accessories. Rated for operation from -40 degrees F to 131 degrees F, this fixture is a practical choice for permanent outdoor installs and extreme-climate touring.
