Proteus Beam™, the first in Elation Professional’s Proteus™ series of IP-rated,
discharge-lamp moving head lights and an LDI Best Debuting Product Award winner,
is now available to the market. Proteus moving heads are high-performance, next-
level intelligent lighting solutions designed to excel under varying weather
conditions. Engineered specifically to empower designer creativity without the
constraints of weather, technical, or brightness, the Proteus Beam is a professional
moving head beam luminaire with top-level functionality, power and features to
bring ideas to light.

“The Proteus Beam is a giant step forward for our company and our industry,’
stated Elation Sales Director Eric Loader. “As more and more outdoor events occur
each year, production companies need a reliable, full-featured, moving head beam
solution that can deliver the performance they need under any conditions while
protecting their investment. Our goal is to give designers the utmost freedom to
design any event or project just the way they see fit. The ability to use the fixture
when inclement weather occurs, and control it remotely from up to 2,000’ away via
the built-in wireless DMX, only adds to the flexibility and power of the Proteus
Beam. We’ve put years of extensive R&D work, market research and planning into
developing this next-tier product line and are very excited to start delivering them
to customers this month.’

Featuring a sophisticated yet pragmatic design, the Proteus Beam gives designers
the freedom to utilize the latest technology at any event, indoors or out. Compact,
robust and budget friendly, Elation’s first ever IP-rated discharge-lamp moving head
series provides solutions to real industry needs. Outdoor events bring their own set
of logistical challenges and with Proteus Elation has eliminated the need for costly
shrouds and weatherproof coverings while doing away with the compromise that
often comes with using IP-rated LED units.

Proteus is another example of Elation’s mission to offer the best value:performance
ratio fixtures on the market. Along with the ruggedness to withstand the elements,
the Proteus Beam is a versatile luminaire that does not compromise on features.
Using the new Philips™ 14R 280W lamp and housing an advanced optical system
with focus, the fixture produces a bright and extremely precise 2-degree beam.
Design features include full CMY colour mixing, a 13-slot dichroic colour wheel
(including Quad Colour, CTO, CTB and UV), 8 rotating replaceable gobos, plus 13
static-fixed gobos. The beam can be manipulated via features like 5- and 32-facet
rotating prisms and a frost filter which designers can turn to when a softer wash
effect is needed. The Proteus Beam also includes an innovative internal thermal
cooling system that keeps the fixture cool even under extreme conditions. The
Proteus Beam features a superior interface with control support from DMX, Art-Net,
sACN and RDM protocols and internal program macros are included for quick
programming. The fixture also houses Elation’s internal E-FLY™ wireless DMX
transceiver for quicker setups with less cable mess.

The Proteus Beam™ will be available in South Africa in April from Production
