Pro Sound & Lights delivers Elation LED upgrade to Rowan County High School theater

Rowan County Senior High School in Morehead, Kentucky, recently modernized its theater with a full Elation LED lighting system upgrade. Pro Sound & Lights completed the LED modernization, replacing the school’s legacy incandescent infrastructure with an Elation rig designed to support both performance and educational applications.

Working closely with the school’s staff and faculty to understand their goals and vision, and supported by Elation manufacturer representatives Five Lakes Marketing, Pro Sound & Lights designed and installed a lighting system capable of supporting theater productions and curriculum-based technical training. The theater is utilized by the high school drama department for three musicals each year and serves as an integral part of the school’s production arts curriculum, giving students hands-on experience operating professional-grade equipment under the guidance of their drama teacher.

The new lighting system centers on Elation’s RGBMA LED engine, which ensures uniform color reproduction across the rig. It features twenty KL Profile FC, 25 KL Profile Compact, 25 Limelight Par S, and six KL Cyc L fixtures, supported by five Netron EN4 Ethernet to DMX gateways for streamlined data distribution. Together, the fixtures deliver uniform, color-consistent washes and dynamic lighting effects across the entire stage.

The KL Profile FC units, full-spectrum LED ellipsoidals with zooming capabilities, deliver color and even coverage across the first two stage layers. Mounted on a single bar with motorized hoist for easy focusing, they provide precise coverage for five distinct zones. Coverage for the third and fourth stage layers comes from the KL Profile Compact, a smaller ellipsoidal with a 25° to 50° zoom and framing features, which is able to accommodate gobos.

The team also added six one-meter KL Cyc L linear fixtures to enhance cyclorama and wall washes. Three units are mounted across the back wall, with the remaining fixtures available for mobile use as needed. The wash system incorporates 25 Limelight Par S units deployed evenly across five bars for beams or washes in color and white. All fixtures interface through five Netron EN4 Ethernet-to-DMX gateways, creating a node-based data distribution network that supports multiple universes and future expansion without additional hardware.

Pro Sound & Lights completed the installation in August 2025. The upgraded system debuted this fall with the school’s production of “Little Shop of Horrors”.
