The PROTEUS ATLAS™ is a high-performance, professional-grade beam FX lighting fixture designed to redefine what’s possible in large-scale outdoor lighting. Engineered for maximum visual impact, the fixture employs a solid-state, phosphor-converted 500W LILI (Laser Illuminated Lighting Instrument) light engine, delivering a staggering 1,000,000 lux at 20 meters. With its 320mm (12.5-inch) front lens and ultra-narrow 0.6° to 8.5° beam angle, the Proteus Atlas creates an intense column of light that rivals and even surpasses the output of traditional 7K Xenon searchlights and sky trackers. Its beam reaches far into the night sky, making it an unmatched tool for creating awe-inspiring effects at concerts, festivals, theme parks, cruise ships, or permanent architectural installations.
Built to command attention on the largest stages and in the most demanding environments, the Proteus Atlas features robust IP66-rated housing for full outdoor protection, allowing it to perform reliably in all weather conditions. Whether deployed for temporary spectaculars or permanent installations, this fixture is crafted to endure. Internally, it offers smooth 360° continuous pan movement and a wide 250° tilt range, enabling dynamic positioning and wide-area coverage with pinpoint precision. Its precision motor system is optimized for both fast and fluid motion, while Elation’s SkyMotion system provides synchronized fixture movement without the need for a lighting console, enabling powerful standalone aerial choreography.
Color rendering is elevated by a full CMY color mixing system and a 25-position color wheel, allowing designers to paint the sky with rich saturated hues, smooth color fades, and bold temperature shifts. The fixture’s versatile FX system includes two gobo wheels featuring 13 interchangeable rotating/indexing gobos and 26 static-stamped metal gobos, offering a variety of beam shapes, textures, and projection effects. Additional visual layering is made possible through dual frost filters, two 3-facet prisms on independent planes, motorized focus, and high-speed digital shutter and strobe effects.
The Atlas is not only powerful but also thoughtfully designed for usability and control. A six-button touch panel and full-color 180° reversible LCD menu provide intuitive local access. It supports multiple professional control protocols, including DMX, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, and NFC configuration, while IP65-rated 5-pin DMX, RJ45 Ethernet, and locking power connectors ensure secure connections in harsh outdoor conditions.
Despite its power, the Proteus Atlas maintains a compact form for its class, measuring approximately 14.6 inches in length, 20 inches wide, and 31.5 inches tall, and weighing around 124.1 pounds (56.3 kg). Its power consumption tops out at 670W, and it operates reliably across a temperature range of -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C). Certified with CE, cETLus, FCC, UKCA, and IP66 ratings, it meets rigorous standards for safety and environmental resilience.
From massive open-air concerts to themed attractions and architectural installations, the PROTEUS ATLAS delivers overwhelming beam brightness, creative freedom, and rugged reliability, giving lighting designers the tools to shape the sky with stunning visuals that leave a lasting impression.
