The Elation Professional PROTEUS EXCALIBUR (PRE937) from DJDeals.com is an IP65-rated outdoor beam fixture and the brightest fully featured beam fixture in the Proteus lineup, powered by a Philips MSD Platinum 500L Flex 550W lamp delivering an extreme 335,000 Lux at 15 meters through a 0.8° beam from its 260mm front lens. The PROTEUS EXCALIBUR features dual rotating prisms, 8 interchangeable glass gobos, dual frost, CMY color mixing, 14 dichroic colors including UV, SkyMotion standalone sky-tracking mode, and beam expander focus for a versatile range of aerial effects.
Elation Professional PROTEUS EXCALIBUR (PRE937) Features:
- Philips MSD Platinum 550W Lamp — 335,000 Lux at 15 Meters. Delivers 20,000 lumens through a 260mm front aperture at an ultra-narrow 0.8° beam angle, producing 335,000 Lux at 15 meters and 7,500 Lux at 100 meters — providing Xenon-equivalent searchlight performance in an IP65-rated LED-lamp moving head.
- IP65 Outdoor Certification. Fully sealed against dust and water for reliable performance at outdoor concerts, festivals, theme parks, and permanent stadium installations, enabling year-round outdoor deployment without weatherproofing concerns.
- Ultra-Narrow 0.8° Beam with Beam Expander. The 260mm front lens projects a massive column of light at extraordinary distances with crisp, error-free optical performance from the internal focus lens. An integrated 3.5° beam expander broadens the beam on demand for hybrid aerial wash effects.
- SkyMotion Standalone Sky-Tracking Mode. PROTEUS EXCALIBUR fixtures synchronize for searchlight and skytracker animations without a lighting console — directly programmable from the onboard display for coordinated aerial beam shows at permanent installations.
- CMY Color Mixing & 14 Dichroic Colors. Full CMY subtractive color mixing combined with 14 dichroic colors including CTO and UV provides a complete palette for single-color searchlights, split-beam effects, and atmospheric aerial tints across any production style.
- 8 Rotating Glass Gobos & 17 Static Metal Gobos. 8 interchangeable rotating/indexing glass gobos and 17 static stamped metal gobos expand the PROTEUS EXCALIBUR beyond pure beam into texture projection and complex mid-air pattern work, adding versatility for theatrical and architectural applications.
- Dual Rotating Prisms & Dual Frost Filter. Dual rotating prisms with prism macros and a dual frost filter for hybrid wash effects deliver layered aerial beam effects that transform the PROTEUS EXCALIBUR from a searchlight into a comprehensive mid-air design tool.
- Variable Lamp Power & Hibernation Mode. Variable lamp power control with automated hibernation and instant recovery optimizes lamp life to 4,000 hours while eliminating warm-up delays, making the fixture immediately ready for cue-critical live performance moments.
- 540°/630° Pan & 250° Tilt. Precise 16-bit pan and tilt control provides smooth, repeatable positioning for aerial beam programming at large-scale concerts, sports events, and permanent architectural installations.
- Single DMX Mode. Single DMX mode (26 channels) with DMX, RDM, Art-Net, and sACN support, 16-bit pan/tilt/dimming, motorized focus, a 6-button touch panel, and full-color 180° reversible LCD for local diagnostics and control.
