beamZ Pro Nereid1940 - Set of 2 IP65 LED Bee Eye Moving Heads with Zoom and Flight Case
Discover the ultimate standard in professional lighting for large-scale productions with the beamZ Pro Nereid1940 set. This tour-ready package includes two high-performance moving heads and a rugged, custom-designed flight case, offering a turnkey solution for rental companies, outdoor festivals, and large-scale stages. The Nereid1940 is more than just a moving head; it's a hybrid creative tool that merges the power of a high-intensity wash with the precision of a cutting beam, all enhanced by its signature Bee Eye optics and an IP65 rating to withstand the harshest weather conditions.
At the heart of each unit beats 19 RGBW LEDs, each 40 watts , generating a colossal light output exceeding 100,000 lux at one meter. This raw power, combined with a smooth and homogeneous four-color mixing process, allows for everything from deep saturations to delicate pastels, with variable color temperature control (CCT) from 2000K to 8000K to suit both television cameras and rock shows. What truly sets the Nereid1940 apart is its rotating front lens with a honeycomb design; as it rotates, it fragments the light beam, creating kaleidoscopic textures and volumetric aerial effects that add a new visual dimension to any show.
Versatility is key to the design of this fixture. Its linear motorized zoom offers an impressive range of 6° to 40°. At its narrowest angle, it functions as a solid, penetrating beam; as it widens, it transforms into a wash capable of uniformly covering large stage areas. Furthermore, the single-pixel control capability gives lighting designers the freedom to create complex mappings, internal gradients, and dynamic patterns that flow across the surface of the fixture, making the fixture itself a piece of visual scenery.

Product benefits
The Nereid1940 offers an exceptional return on investment by combining multiple functions in a single enclosure. Its IP65 rating eliminates the fear of unpredictable rain at outdoor events, reducing the logistics and cost of additional protection. For technicians, the inclusion of the RDM protocol simplifies remote DMX address configuration, saving valuable time during setup once the equipment is already strung on the truss. Furthermore, the set comes protected in an industrial-grade , wheeled flight case , ensuring the investment travels safely between gigs and is ready to deploy in minutes.
Use cases
This fixture is designed to excel in demanding environments. It's the perfect choice for outdoor music festivals where power and weather resistance are essential. In theaters and auditoriums , its quiet operation and high-quality whites make it ideal for front or backlighting. It's also excellent for temporary architectural lighting , allowing you to bathe entire facades in color or project dynamic textures onto buildings. Thanks to its pixel effects, it's a favorite tool in large nightclubs and electronic music venues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the LEDs be controlled individually?
Yes, the Nereid1940 features "single pixel" control, allowing you to adjust the color and intensity of each of the 19 LEDs independently to create graphics and matrix effects.
Is it necessary to cover the equipment if it rains?
No, the device is IP65 certified, which means it is fully protected against dust and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it safe for use in moderate rain.
What does the set include?
The set includes 2 Nereid1940 moving heads, P-Con power cables, DMX cables, Omega-type claws with quick locking for truss mounting, and a double flight case with wheels for transport.
How many DMX channels does it use?
The unit is very flexible and offers several DMX channel modes (21, 35, 78, up to 111 channels) depending on the level of granular control (such as per-pixel control) required by the operator.
