Elation introduces ultra-long-throw Proteus Atlas

Elation’s Proteus Radius launched a new era of long-throw beam lights with its Lili (Laser Illuminated Lighting Instrument) light engine, and now that long-range power is taken to the next level with the new, ultra-long-throw Proteus Atlas. This IP66 Beam FX is comparable to 7K Xenon searchlights yet offers a host of design features and operates at a fraction of the power.

The Proteus Atlas’ laser-based Lili light engine produces a bright, dense, Xenon-style beam with sharp definition. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, the Proteus Atlas powers out 1,000,000 Lux @ 20 m (100,000 Lux @ 100 m), throwing a concentrated beam of light that can span vast distances. The ultra-narrow beam projects from a 320 mm (12.5’’) front lens as a massive column of light. Highly efficient with little heat produced, the Lili engine boasts a lifespan of 12,000 hours without significant degradation in brightness or quality.

“Lili sources will continue to drive innovation in our lighting products”, says Eric Loader, Elation Global Vice President Sales. “These laser-based technologies are set to improve energy efficiency, light quality, and adaptability, allowing for more creative and high-performing solutions across the entertainment lighting industry. They provide the ideal output for longer throw distances with lower energy consumption, extended lifespan, and reduced maintenance compared to traditional short-arc discharge lamp sources.”

Housing a 500 W Lili light engine, the Proteus Atlas’ intense 0.6° beam (zoomable to 8.5°) combines with a full complement of design features that allow designers to compose an array of aerial effects. Full CMY color mixing and a 25-position color wheel offer unlimited color options, a fast system for immediate color transitions and instant color bumps. With its light intensity, all CMY colors remain strong and vibrant even when fully saturated.

An artistic selection of thirteen interchangeable-rotating/indexing metal gobos and 26 static-stamped metal gobos provides designers an abundance of creative aerial possibilities. Multiple prisms divided between overlapping planes split beams in unlimited combinations. Beam control is provided through a fast zoom and focus lens array while dual frosts (Hot-Spot Beam, Wash FX) soften the beam when needed for wash effects that paint surfaces with vibrant hues or bathe the sky in colors. Dimming is smooth without flickering. Endless 360-degree pan movement makes for animations that can fill any space.

The Proteus Atlas includes Elation’s Sky Motion system, allowing it to operate as a searchlight effect without the need for a dedicated lighting controller. Multiple fixtures can be seamlessly interconnected, while a variety of patterns are adjustable in size, speed, and color directly from the display. The Sky Motion system allows for standalone operation and can be set up and adjusted directly from the fixture display, even for “non-lighting” users, according to the manufacturer.

Protected by Elation’s Proteus technology, the Atlas’ rugged aluminum shell and advanced marine-grade coating provide operational reliability in demanding outdoor and indoor environments. With an IP66 rating and sealed optical system, it stands firm against rain, snow, coastal air, and humidity. Its high-speed motors, continuous pan, and smooth motion architecture ensure fast, fluid performance even in punishing environments - from cruise ship decks to theme parks and desert festivals.
