Description
Martin Exterior Projection 500 Narrow
The Martin Exterior Projection 500 Narrow is a precision projection fixture engineered for studio and remote location work where exact image control and reliable performance matter. Its narrow 12° beam angle excels at projecting sharp, high-contrast gobos and effects onto set walls, cycs, backdrops, and architectural elements during recording sessions. Built with advanced LED technology and rugged, fully weatherized construction, this fixture integrates seamlessly into both controlled studio environments and unpredictable outdoor recording setups, minimizing downtime and technical complications during critical production windows.
Optical Performance & Projection Capability
The 230 W white LED engine projects flat-field, high-contrast images with a 12° cut-off angle optimized for tight, focused beam work on sets and backdrops. Maximum image diameter of 23 mm (gobo size 30.0 mm) ensures crisp detail and clean pattern definition throughout the projection range, while variable motorized focus ranging from 3 meters to infinity adapts quickly to different staging depths and camera positions. Color temperature of 8300K and CRI 72 render clean, neutral whites that record accurately on video and digital capture, avoiding unwanted color casts in post-production.
Durability & Environmental Design
Cast aluminum housing with hard anodized, metallic grey lacquered finish combined with IP66 ingress protection, IK08 impact resistance, and C5-M corrosion resistance ensures reliable operation through transport, outdoor location shoots, and demanding studio environments. Operating ambient range of -30° C to 45° C handles temperature swings on location, while convection cooling with internal forced air keeps surface temperatures at 85° C maximum, enabling safe placement near talent, materials, and other gear in tight studio or set spaces.

At a Glance
The Martin Exterior Projection 500 Narrow is a professional LED projection system optimized for outdoor recording, live-broadcast, and architectural visualization work where precision, durability, and remote control matter. Its narrow 12° beam, motorized variable focus, 8-color mixing, 6-gobo library, and 2-prism effects wheel give you studio-grade creative control in a weather-sealed, IP66-rated housing; DMX/RDM integration lets you sync it into larger lighting rigs and control systems. Choose this for projects that require long-throw projection on buildings, scenery, or set pieces—especially in coastal or extreme-weather locations where standard gear would fail.
Frequently Asked Questions
What beam angle and throw distance does this fixture handle?
The Martin Exterior Projection 500 Narrow features a narrow 12° beam angle optimized for long-range, precision projection on building facades and architectural features. Motorized variable focus ranges from 3 meters to infinity, allowing flexibility across close-range and extended long-throw applications.
How durable is this fixture in extreme weather and coastal environments?
Built with cast aluminum housing, hard anodized metallic grey lacquered finish, and C5-M marine-grade corrosion resistance, this fixture withstands coastal salt spray, rain, and aggressive outdoor conditions. It carries IP66 ingress protection, IK08 impact resistance, and operates reliably in ambient temperatures from -30°C to 45°C.
What effects and color control options are included?
The fixture includes an 8-color wheel for dynamic color mixing, a 6-gobo wheel with rotation, indexing, and animation, and a 2-prism wheel with motorized frost filter for layered effects. All are controllable via DMX/RDM with a 13-channel protocol and onboard OLED display panel.
What is the light output and color quality?
The 230 W white LED engine delivers 8300K color temperature with 72 CRI, producing bright, clean whites ideal for architectural and logo projection work. Maximum image diameter is 23 mm (gobo size 30.0 mm) for crisp, high-contrast detail.
What are the physical dimensions and power requirements?
Compact dimensions are 415 × 293 × 444 mm with a weight of 17.5 kg. The auto-ranging power supply accepts 100–240/277 V at 50/60 Hz with typical power draw of 310 W at 230V; convection cooling keeps the housing surface at a safe 85°C maximum.
