The Elation Professional PROTEUS EXCALIBUR OPS (PRE949) from DJDeals.com is the brightest IP66-rated fully featured beam fixture ever created, powered by a Philips MSD Platinum 500L Flex 550W lamp delivering 20,000 lumens through a 260mm front lens at an extraordinary 0.8° beam angle. An OPS (Optimized for Permanent Service) variant with CX Extreme Marine Grade Coating and Stainless Steel 316 fasteners, the PROTEUS EXCALIBUR OPS delivers 335,000 Lux at 15 meters, CMY color mixing, dual rotating prisms, 8 rotating glass gobos, dual frost, and SkyMotion standalone sky-tracking capability.
Elation Professional PROTEUS EXCALIBUR OPS (PRE949) Features:
- Philips MSD Platinum 550W Lamp — 335,000 Lux at 15 Meters. Delivers 20,000 lumens through a 260mm front aperture at a 0.8° beam angle, producing 335,000 Lux at 15 meters (31,100 fc at 49ft) and 7,500 Lux at 100 meters (700 fc at 330ft) — rivaling Xenon searchlights and skytrackers at a fraction of the operational cost.
- IP66 OPS Marine-Grade Housing. The Optimized for Permanent Service variant features RAL9016 exterior finish with CX Extreme Marine Grade Coating and Stainless Steel 316 fasteners, providing maximum corrosion resistance for cruise ships, offshore platforms, and permanent shore-based installations.
- Ultra-Narrow 0.8° Beam Angle. A massive 260mm front lens projects the intense beam as a column of light visible at extreme distances, cutting effortlessly through daylight, fog, and sky in concert, cruise ship, and landmark lighting applications.
- SkyMotion Standalone Mode. Multiple PROTEUS EXCALIBUR OPS fixtures synchronize movement patterns for searchlight and skytracker animations without any external lighting console — programmable directly from the onboard display for unattended permanent installations.
- 16 Dichroic Colors & CMY Color Mixing. 16 dichroic colors including CTO and UV, plus a full CMY subtractive color mixing system, provide the complete spectrum from bold single-color aerial beams to subtle atmospheric tints for any architectural or entertainment lighting scenario.
- 8 Rotating Glass Gobos & 17 Static Metal Gobos. 8 interchangeable rotating/indexing glass gobos and 17 static stamped metal gobos expand creative options beyond pure beam work, enabling projection textures and complex mid-air beam patterns for architectural and theatrical applications.
- Dual Rotating Prisms & Dual Frost. Dual rotating prisms with prism macros and dual frost filter (for both hybrid wash and beam effects) deliver expanded mid-air effects capabilities, making the PROTEUS EXCALIBUR OPS far more versatile than conventional searchlight fixtures.
- Beam Expander Focus. An integrated 3.5° beam expander lens allows broadening the ultra-narrow beam for wider aerial wash applications, transitioning from searchlight-style precision to broader coverage as the show demands.
- Variable Lamp Power & Hibernation Mode. Variable lamp power control with automated hibernation and instant recovery extends lamp life to up to 4,000 hours while enabling instant full-output readiness — essential for installations where warm-up time is unacceptable.
- Single DMX Mode with 16-Bit Control. Single DMX mode (26 channels) with DMX, RDM, and Art-Net/sACN support, 16-bit pan/tilt/dimming, motorized focus, NFC support, and included 10ft DMX combo and power cables for OPS field installation.
