Martin Pro Exterior Projection 500W - 230W 8300K LED IP66-Rated Image Projector with 37-Degree Beam and Color/Gobo Wheels in Gray Finish

The Martin Professional Exterior Projection 500W is a high-performance LED image projector designed for powerful outdoor projection applications, offering advanced capabilities for integrating dynamic textures, patterns, and logos into outdoor lighting designs. With a robust and compact design, this projector is ideal for both close-range and long-range projections, making it suitable for various permanent outdoor installations, including architectural facades, theme parks, museums, and large-scale public displays.

Equipped with a 230W LED engine that produces a striking 8300K color temperature, the Exterior Projection 500W offers an impressive 5700 lumens output, ensuring brilliant and sharp image quality. This flat-field, high-contrast projection fixture is perfect for showcasing logos, signage, or intricate textures, even in bright outdoor environments. The 37° beam angle provides an ideal balance between narrow and wide projections, ensuring focused clarity while covering a wider projection area. The fixture also features versatile dynamic effects such as color mixing, gobo projection, gobo animation, and prism/frost, which enable users to create vibrant, layered lighting designs.

Built for longevity and reliability, the Exterior Projection 500W is housed in a rugged, IP66-rated enclosure, offering complete protection against dust and water ingress. This makes it a perfect solution for permanent outdoor installations where durability is a must. The unit is also impact-resistant with an IK08 rating, ensuring it can withstand physical impacts, and is constructed with corrosion-resistant materials compliant with the C5-M standard for high corrosivity environments. This makes it ideal for marine applications and locations exposed to harsh weather conditions.

The projector features multiple creative options, including an 8-color wheel with interchangeable colors, a gobo wheel with 6 rotating gobos plus an open slot for custom designs, and a gobo animation system for creating dynamic motion effects. The prism wheel with two interchangeable prisms provides additional visual interest by enabling abstract patterns, and the motorized frost filter offers a wash effect for softer lighting applications. The fixture's dimming capability is electronically controlled, allowing for smooth, variable intensity adjustments, while the motorized focus offers a range from 9.8 feet to infinity, ensuring the sharpness of the projection from varying distances.

Control options are flexible, with support for DMX and RDM protocols, allowing users to control and address the fixture via a 13-channel DMX interface. The onboard OLED display provides an intuitive interface for configuration, status monitoring, and addressing, while RDM functionality allows for remote diagnostics and fixture management. The fixture supports stand-alone operation, with the ability to create up to 20 scenes with fade/hold times, making it ideal for autonomous use in specific lighting installations. Its 16-bit control precision ensures fine-tuned adjustments for focus, intensity, and gobo rotation, providing users with precise control over every aspect of the projection.

In terms of installation, the Exterior Projection 500W comes with an adjustable yoke, allowing for flexible mounting and positioning of the fixture in various orientations. The unit is designed for use in wet locations and includes IP68-rated cable glands for secure, weatherproof power and data connections, ensuring reliable operation even in harsh environmental conditions. The fixture's lightweight design (110 lbs) and compact dimensions (27.7 inches in length, 16.5 inches in width, and 24.4 inches in height) facilitate easy handling during installation and setup.

Overall, the Martin Professional Exterior Projection 500W is a versatile and durable projection solution that combines powerful LED technology, advanced dynamic effects, and robust construction to deliver high-quality projections in any outdoor setting. Its ability to produce bright, high-contrast images with precise control and a wide range of creative effects makes it an invaluable tool for permanent outdoor installations that demand both visual impact and reliability.
