Martin Pro Exterior Projection 500M - 230W 8300K LED IP66-Rated Image Projector with 22-Degree Beam and Color/Gobo Wheels in Gray Finish

The Martin Professional Exterior Projection 500M is a high-performance LED image projector designed for powerful, high-quality outdoor image projections. This robust fixture is ideal for creating sharp, dynamic logo projections, textures, and graphics, making it a perfect solution for permanent outdoor installations in environments such as theme parks, stadiums, architectural facades, museums, and public spaces. With its 230W white LED engine, the Exterior Projection 500M delivers superior energy efficiency and outstanding brightness while ensuring minimal maintenance over its long operational lifespan.

Offering a high output of up to 6100 lumens, the 500M excels in both close-range and long-range projection. The 22-degree beam angle ensures precise and focused projections, perfect for projecting detailed logos or sharp edges. Its flat-field, high-contrast image projection capabilities ensure that the content displayed remains crisp and clear, even in challenging outdoor lighting conditions. The fixture also features a wide variety of dynamic effects, including a color wheel with 8 interchangeable colors, a gobo wheel with 6 rotating gobos and an open slot for custom designs, and a gobo animation system that provides variable-speed linear animations for added creativity.

The Exterior Projection 500M is designed for versatility and durability, featuring a rugged IP66-rated housing that guarantees complete protection against dust and water, making it suitable for harsh outdoor conditions. The fixture's cast aluminum housing is finished with a hard anodized metallic grey lacquer, offering a high level of corrosion resistance (C5-M), which is ideal for use in marine environments and other highly corrosive settings. Its impact-resistant design (IK08 rating) ensures the unit can withstand physical impacts, making it a reliable choice for installations where the fixture may be exposed to accidental contact.

Further enhancing its creative capabilities, the 500M is equipped with two interchangeable prisms for producing abstract, multi-pattern effects and a motorized frost filter that creates a wash effect. These features allow for versatile lighting designs, whether you need focused image projections or softer, blended lighting. The fixture's motorized zoom (from 10° to 40°) allows users to adjust the projection spread, making it adaptable for various installation types and projection needs.

Control and programming are simplified with the 500M's onboard OLED display, allowing users to configure the fixture, address it, and monitor its status directly from the unit. For more advanced control, the fixture supports both DMX and RDM, offering 13 DMX channels for comprehensive control over all features, including color, gobo selection, animation speed, focus, and intensity. The fixture's onboard control allows users to create up to 20 scenes with global fade and hold times, while RDM functionality enables remote management of the fixture, such as reading diagnostic information (fixture hours, LED hours, temperature) and adjusting settings remotely.

In terms of performance and longevity, the Exterior Projection 500M boasts a high LED lifetime of 20,000 hours, maintaining more than 70% of its original output over its lifespan. This results in reduced maintenance costs and reliable performance for years to come. The fixture is equipped with an integrated heat management system, using convection and internal forced air cooling to maintain optimal operating temperatures, even in challenging conditions. It is designed to perform efficiently in a wide range of temperatures, from -30°C (-22°F) to 45°C (113°F), making it suitable for installation in almost any climate.

For installation, the Exterior Projection 500M comes with an adjustable yoke, allowing for flexible mounting in a variety of orientations. The fixture includes IP68 cable glands for secure, weatherproof power and data connections, ensuring reliability even in wet environments. The unit's lightweight design (110 lbs) and compact dimensions (27.7 inches in length, 16.5 inches in width, and 24.4 inches in height) make it easier to handle and position during installation.
