The Elation Professional Proteus Excalibur is a revolutionary 550W LED moving head beam fixture that sets new standards in the industry with its stunning brightness, remarkable beam quality, and unmatched versatility. Designed for outdoor use with its IP65 rating, this fixture combines a compact form factor with powerful features, making it the brightest fully featured beam fixture in the Proteus range. The Excalibur delivers an intense, highly concentrated beam with an astonishingly narrow 0.8° beam angle, rivaling Xenon searchlights and skytrackers, making it perfect for large-scale outdoor events, theme parks, concerts, cruise ships, and any application requiring powerful, precise beam control and stunning visual effects.
The Excalibur features a powerful Philips MSD Platinum 500L Flex 550W lamp, providing up to 20,000 lumens of output, with a beam that can cut through the sky at incredible distances. The ultra-wide 260mm front lens projects a massive column of light, delivering stunning visuals that will grab the audience's attention. The fixture's advanced optical system ensures that the beam remains crisp and clear with no optical errors, providing a perfectly focused projection every time. The beam can be expanded from the standard 0.8° to approximately 3.5° using the remote-controlled expander lens, offering greater flexibility in beam shaping. This makes the Excalibur versatile enough for both tight, focused beams and wide wash effects, creating impactful visual displays at any distance.
For maximum creative flexibility, the Proteus Excalibur is equipped with dual overlapping rotating prisms and an array of gobo options. It includes 8 interchangeable rotating glass gobos and 17 static-stamped metal gobos, allowing for a wide variety of effects, from sharp beam projections to intricate designs in the sky. The dual frost filters create a hybrid wash effect, softening the beam when necessary for a more diffused output, while the high-speed mechanical shutter and strobe effects offer dynamic possibilities for adding excitement and intensity to the lighting display. The motorized focus ensures precise adjustments, while the beam expander lens enables users to widen the beam to approximately 3.5°, providing even more creative potential for dynamic lighting designs.
In addition to its extensive effects capabilities, the Proteus Excalibur is powered by Elation's innovative Sky Motion system. This system allows the fixture to function as a powerful searchlight or skytracker without the need for a dedicated lighting controller. The Sky Motion system enables multiple fixtures to be interconnected, and with simple ID assignment, users can easily access various movement patterns, adjusting speed, size, and color directly from the display. This feature is especially useful for events that require searchlight effects or for applications such as outdoor concerts, stadium shows, and theme park installations where large-scale lighting animations are needed. The Sky Motion system offers easy setup and adjustments, even for users without lighting experience, further expanding the fixture's usability beyond traditional show lighting applications.
The Proteus Excalibur is built for the most demanding outdoor environments, featuring a fully sealed IP65-rated housing that protects it from dust, water, and environmental elements. With an operating temperature range of -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C), it is suitable for a wide range of climates and environments, from cold winter nights to hot summer days. Despite its impressive power and capabilities, the Excalibur is energy-efficient, operating with a maximum power consumption of just 800W, making it a great choice for large-scale productions and installations where both performance and energy efficiency are important.
For control, the Excalibur supports multiple DMX channel modes and is compatible with DMX, RDM, Art-NET, and sACN protocols, offering seamless integration into any lighting system. The fixture features a 6-button touch control panel and a full-color, 180° reversible LCD menu display for easy access to settings. With 16-bit pan, tilt, and dimming control, as well as a motorized focus, users have precise control over every aspect of the fixture's performance. Additionally, the Excalibur includes hibernation mode for power saving during idle periods, ensuring efficient operation during extended use.
In summary, the Proteus Excalibur is the ultimate moving head beam fixture, offering unrivaled brightness, versatility, and durability. Its compact design, IP65 rating, extensive feature set, and innovative Sky Motion system make it ideal for a wide range of outdoor applications and large-scale events. With its impressive beam quality, robust effects package, and seamless integration into modern lighting control systems, the Excalibur is the go-to choice for professionals looking to create stunning lighting displays that stand out in any environment.
