Elation have come up with what seems like a cost effective, colour changing panel system for use in flooring, walls and ceiling. The PZ-720A LED lighting system offers endless color possibilities to modify your surrounding.

Colouring your world — or at least your floors and walls – in any vivid hue imaginable has become as easy as flicking a switch. A DMX-compatible floor/wall panel equipped with red, green, and blue LEDs, the PZ-720A can create thousands of vibrant colours through RGB colour mixing and make super-smooth transitions from one shade to another.

Easy to install on any room surface, the PZ-720A panel is amazingly versatile. It can be used to light up a disco dance floor with flashy changing colours, or as a more subtle mood effect on the walls of a building's interior or corridors. It's so sturdy and durable you can dance on it, yet it's completely portable, which also makes it great for mobile applications like stage shows, concerts, rentals and special events. It can be used as a fixture for permanent installations, adding the drama of colour-changing tiles to any architectural application.

Because LEDs emit no infrared or ultra-violet light, the PZ-720A produces very little heat – another factor that contributes to its versatility. It can be placed at close range to objects without risk of discoloration, making it ideal for illuminating displays. When used in a club or onstage, its cool operation will help keep dancers and performers from getting too hot under the ‘bright lights'.

Measuring 1 mtr x 1 mtr, each square LED panel actually consists of 4 smaller 48.26 x 48.26 cm colour cubes. Each of the cubes operates independently of the others, so you can have up to 4 different colours per panel. Users have the option of operating the PZ-720A as a single unit or 4 separate cubes by selecting from two DMX operating modes – 3 or 12 DMX channels.

The panels themselves are made of rugged 1.3cm-thick Plexi-Glass, which can support up to 500kgs. This gives the PZ-720A the muscle to easily withstand the rigors of dance floor use.

All of the light-generating mechanics are built right into the panel, so there's no need for external controllers or devices other than a DMX controller. Because it is a self-contained unit, the PZ-720A is easy to set up and tear down, which makes it convenient for mobile users. Each panel comes with 9 rubber feet for mobile applications, as well as 4 base holes for permanent installation, to provide the user with both options.

The PZ-720A can daisy chain in both data (DMX) and Power using PowerCon in and out connectors. The efficient system requires only one 20-amp power source to daisy chain a 5m x 5m dance floor (25 panels).

Other features of the PZ-720A panel include: convection cooling (no fans), power on/off switch, and 4-digit digital LED display. Each panel measures 1mL x 1mW x 10cmH and weighs 23 kgs.

The price of the PZ-720A LED Floor/Wall Panel when first released was approx $2,799.
