14.11.2025 | Elation’s PARAGON Inspires Italy — From North to South

Elation's groundbreaking PARAGON is inspiring the world, and this past summer in Italy, its impact was unmistakable. From the northern region of Brescia to the southern stages of Naples, the PARAGON S LED profile was lighting up concerts, festivals, and theatrical productions across the country. Rental companies Cipiesse, Mac 24, and Eventi-X were among the first in Italy to invest in this award-winning fixture, bringing its power and precision to a diverse range of productions.

Cipiesse in Brescia
In northern Italy, Cipiesse deployed the PARAGON S across several productions in the Brescia area, including performances by acclaimed indie singer and rapper Willie Peyote during the Brescia Summer Music Festival in July. The company utilized 18 PARAGON S fixtures, a fitting choice for an artist celebrated as one of the most innovative voices in Italy's indie scene.

"The weight-to-performance ratio was definitely impressive," said Marco Renica of Cipiesse. "It's a compact and powerful fixture, an ideal combination for a rental company like ours. The colors are very beautiful, even in the conversions [white color balance]. I had the opportunity to fully utilize the profile aspects of the fixture in a production where I was making extreme use of it, and I must say that everything always came back perfectly with minimal adjustments."

Cipiesse also featured the PARAGON on the opening night of the theatrical show La Storia, which premiered in Naples on June 26, demonstrating the fixture's flexibility across both concert and theatrical settings.

PARAGON
Elation's PARAGON series is the company's flagship fixture line - the culmination of years of R&D and collaboration with top lighting designers. Available in three models (S, M, LT) to suit any venue scale, each IP54-rated fixture combines power and flexibility in a compact, durable design. Featuring an interchangeable lens system, proprietary TruTone variable CRI technology, and a full suite of creative tools, PARAGON has earned multiple industry awards for innovation.

"The zoom range allows us to use it virtually anywhere, as do the three CRI levels," Renica continued in an interview with ZioGiorgio magazine. "The super-quiet fans continue to give us great satisfaction in theatrical productions where we often operate at maximum power and minimum noise, without encountering any issues. In short, a perfect solution both in the theater and live settings."

In noise-critical environments, PARAGON provides several low-noise modes that minimize distractions for quieter operation. A specialized Theater Mode further reduces sound by slowing specific motors to decrease audibility and resonance.

Across Italy's Heartland
Moving south toward Emilia-Romagna, a region in central-northern Italy, Parma-based rental company Mac 24 brought the PARAGON S on tour with singer-songwriter Max Gazzè, deploying 22 fixtures across his summer performances.

And further south still, Eventi-X, an events and television service company based in Anagni near Rome, has also put its PARAGON S inventory to work at a range of events throughout the Lazio region and beyond.

From concert stages to theaters, Elation's PARAGON Series is making its mark on Italy's entertainment lighting scene, establishing itself as a new benchmark of excellence in modern lighting design.
