Martin Pro Exterior Projection 500N - 230W 8300K LED IP66-Rated Image Projector with 12-Degree Beam and Color/Gobo Wheels in Gray Finish

The Martin Professional Exterior Projection 500N is a high-performance, compact, and energy-efficient LED image projector designed for outdoor use. With its rugged IP66-rated housing, this projector is perfect for projecting logos, graphics, textures, and other creative elements onto facades, walls, and other surfaces in permanent outdoor installations. This fixture is ideal for use in stadiums, theme parks, museums, hotels, and public spaces, providing bright and sharp projections over long distances while withstanding extreme weather conditions.

Equipped with a 230W white LED engine, the Exterior Projection 500N produces a high-output of up to 6100 lumens, offering clear and crisp projections that can be easily seen even in daylight. The projector's 12° beam angle allows for precise, focused projections, making it perfect for projecting detailed graphics or logos with sharp clarity. Its powerful LED engine provides a color temperature of 8300K and a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 72, ensuring that the projected images remain vivid and true to their intended colors. The LED's long lifespan of 20,000 hours means that this projector offers minimal maintenance and a low total cost of ownership, making it a highly reliable solution for outdoor projection applications.

In addition to its powerful LED engine, the Exterior Projection 500N features versatile dynamic effects that provide endless creative possibilities. The color wheel includes 8 interchangeable colors, offering a broad spectrum of color options for customizing projections. The rotating gobo wheel, with 6 rotating gobos and an open slot, allows for the projection of static images, while the gobo animation wheel offers variable-speed, linear animation effects to add movement and life to projections. The addition of two interchangeable prisms further enhances the visual effects, allowing for abstract, multi-patterned projections. The motorized frost filter creates a wash effect, enabling soft light outputs and blending effects to create unique looks for every project.

The Exterior Projection 500N is designed with ease of use and flexibility in mind. The fixture offers DMX, RDM, and standalone control options, with a full 16-bit control resolution for gobo rotation, zoom, focus, and intensity. The 13 DMX channels provide detailed control over all aspects of the fixture, allowing for precise adjustments. For quick setup and programming, the projector features an onboard OLED display that allows users to configure the fixture, address it, and view status information directly on the unit. Alternatively, remote diagnostics via RDM make it easy to manage and monitor the fixture's performance from a distance, including fixture running hours, LED hours, and temperature.

Built to withstand harsh environments, the Exterior Projection 500N features a robust cast aluminum housing with a hard anodized, metallic grey finish, ensuring protection against corrosion, impact, and harsh weather. With an IP66 rating, it is completely dust-tight and protected against water ingress, making it suitable for permanent outdoor use. The fixture is also IK08 impact-resistant, meaning it can endure physical impacts without damage. The external cooling system, utilizing forced air and convection, ensures the fixture remains operational in temperatures ranging from -22°F to 113°F (-30°C to 45°C), providing reliable performance in extreme weather conditions.

For installation, the Exterior Projection 500N comes with a mounting yoke that offers flexible mounting options in various orientations, making it suitable for both vertical and horizontal mounting positions. Its compact size and lightweight design, weighing just 110 lbs, make it easier to install and position, while the IP68 cable glands for power and data connections ensure secure and weatherproof connections in outdoor environments. The fixture also includes a silica gel desiccant bag and two gobo retaining springs for easy setup and maintenance.
