Description
Martin Exterior Projection 500 Medium 20 Degree
The Exterior Projection 500 Medium delivers powerful, high-contrast image projection in a rugged, weather-sealed form factor built for demanding outdoor installations. Its compact footprint and intuitive motorized control systems make it straightforward to position and adjust for precise architectural lighting, logo projection, and dynamic facade effects. This fixture combines up to 6100 lumens output with advanced LED efficiency, eliminating the maintenance burden typical of traditional projection gear.
Optical Performance & Build Quality
A 230 W white LED engine with 20,000-hour lifespan drives consistent, flicker-free output across extended runs. The 20-degree medium beam angle balances throw distance with coverage area, ideal for mid-range facade work and precision framing applications. Cast aluminum housing with hard anodized, metallic grey lacquered finish and IP66 ingress protection ensures reliable operation through rain, dust, and thermal cycling; C5-M corrosion resistance rating handles harsh coastal and industrial environments without degradation.
Effects & Control Architecture
Four integrated effect layers—8-color wheel, 6-rotating gobo wheel, 2-prism interchangeable options, and motorized focus—stack unlimited creative possibilities into a single fixture. Motorized focus ranges from 3 meters to infinity, while 0–100% electronic dimming and 13-channel DMX with RDM support give you frame-accurate control. Custom gobos accept borosilicate glass or aluminum material, both rated to 450°C, allowing bespoke branding and pattern work on any architectural surface.
