Elation Professional is pleased to offer the second luminaire in the Proteus™ series of
IP-rated, discharge-lamp moving head lights — Proteus Hybrid™. Now available to the
market, the 3-in-1 hybrid moving head is an LDI Best Debuting Product Award winner
along with the recently released Proteus Beam™.
The Proteus Hybrid is a professional moving head luminaire with spot, beam, and
wash modes and the power and features to bring ideas to light. Engineered
specifically to empower designer creativity, Proteus moving heads are high-
performance, next-level intelligent lighting solutions designed to excel under varying
weather conditions.
Fulfills real industry need
Featuring a sophisticated yet pragmatic design, the Proteus Hybrid gives designers the
freedom to utilise 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 have eliminated the need for costly
shrouds and weatherproof coverings while doing away with the compromise that often
comes with using IP-rated LED units. Featuring a rugged, multi-environmental IP65
design, the Proteus Hybrid also houses an innovative internal thermal cooling system
that keeps the fixture cool even under extreme conditions.
Bright, efficient beam that zooms in all modes
Along with the ruggedness to withstand the elements, the Proteus Hybrid is a versatile
luminaire that does not compromise on features. Using the new Philips™ 21R 470W
lamp and housing an advanced optical system with auto-focus, the fixture produces a
bright beam that can zoom from 3.0° – 40° in spot mode, 2.0° to 30° in beam mode,
and 8.0° to 55° in wash mode. The Proteus Hybrid’s beam can be manipulated via 8-
facet and 6-way linear rotating prisms.
Professional design features
Colour design features include full CMY colour mixing plus CTO colour mixing for
greater colour temperature control. A 14-slot dichroic colour wheel has been added for
even greater colour choice. Eight rotating, replaceable gobos and 14 static-fixed
gobos provide for a host of graphic effects while a full animation system offers even
greater design possibilities. The full 360° bi-directional animation effect wheel brings
graphics to life, allowing for the creation of dramatic animated effects such as
undulating waves, rising flames, driving rain, drifting clouds, foliage, and more.
The Proteus Hybrid features a superior interface with control support from DMX, Art-
Net, sACN and RDM protocols and internal program macros are included for quick
programming. Elation’s internal E-FLY™ wireless DMX transceiver is also included for
quicker setups with less cable mess.
Proteus is another example of Elation’s mission to offer the best value: performance
ratio fixtures on the market. Designed to unleash a designer’s creative vision, Proteus
fixtures are built for visionary lighting designers who refuse to compromise, allowing
their vision to be unbound by the elements.
