The Elation PRE949 Proteus Excalibur OPS is engineered for production teams and lighting designers who need maximum sky-piercing output in a fully weatherproofed package. Built around a 550W Philips MSD Platinum 500L Flex lamp and a 260mm front lens, it pushes 335,000 LUX at 15 meters through a 0.8-degree beam, placing it directly in competition with traditional Xenon searchlights and skytrackers while adding the full feature set of a modern moving fixture. IP66 certification, marine-grade CX Extreme coating, and stainless steel 316 fasteners make it a genuine outdoor permanent-install or touring-capable fixture, not a unit that merely claims weather resistance. The fixture is built for festival stages, stadium events, architectural installations, and outdoor touring productions where beam visibility across hundreds of meters is a hard requirement. DMX and RDM protocol support, 16-bit pan, tilt, and dimming, plus a Sky Motion standalone mode allow it to operate as a searchlight animation rig without an external controller. A full CMY color mixing system, 16 dichroic colors including CTO and UV, dual rotating prisms, dual frost filters, and both rotating glass and static metal gobos give lighting designers the flexibility to use the same fixture across beam-only effects and more complex aerial wash compositions. Compared to conventional IP-rated beam fixtures in this power class, the PRE949 stands out for combining a sub-one-degree beam with a broad 3.5-degree beam expander lens option, motorized focus, and 540/630-degree pan range in a single chassis. Variable lamp power, automated hibernation with instant recovery, and a 4,000-hour rated lamp life reduce operational cost for rental houses and permanent installations alike.
