beamZ Pro Nereid500 Kit 2 Moving Heads - IP65 500W Hybrid Heads with Professional Flight Case

The beamZ Pro Nereid500 Hybrid Outdoor Moving Head 2pcs in Flightcase is a complete kit consisting of two Nereid500 hybrid moving heads and a robust, wheeled flight case , designed for touring, rental companies, and professional installations requiring maximum reliability outdoors. Each moving head integrates a high-intensity 500W white LED (542W LED power) with hybrid Beam/Spot/Wash optics, capable of generating highly concentrated beams, defined spots, and wide washes with a luminous emittance of 168,972 lx at 5 m , offering performance comparable to high-end discharge heads.

Thanks to its IP65 weatherproof design , the Nereid series is ready to withstand rain, dust, and harsh conditions while maintaining stable operation. The 2° to 44° motorized zoom allows you to switch from a very narrow, powerful beam to a wide wash for covering stages, facades, or structures. Its high-precision motor system provides fast and smooth 540° pan and 270° tilt movements, with precise positioning and 16-bit control of pan/tilt, dimmer, color, focus, zoom, and gobo indexing.

In terms of effects, the Nereid500 incorporates a color wheel with 13 colors plus open and a complete CMY mixing system for creating smooth transitions and subtle color gradations. The gobo section includes a static wheel with 12 gobos plus open and a rotating gobo wheel with 7 rotating gobos plus open , featuring gobo shake and indexing functions. A frost effect wheel is added to soften the beam, along with two prisms (one linear and one circular with four facets) that multiply the beam to generate spectacular volumetric effects in mid-air.

The electronics are designed for professional control with 29 DMX channels , RDM compatibility for remote configuration and monitoring, and DMX operating modes including automatic programs and master/slave operation. The 0–100% electronic dimmer with 16-bit control allows for fine and precise fades, while the 1–34 Hz ​​strobe provides impact at key moments. Everything is managed via a control panel with an LCD screen , simplifying configuration even on-site. Connections include DMX in/out via 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors and P-Con TR1 power in/out for daisy-chaining multiple units.

The kit is completed with a front-entry FC500 flight case , specifically designed to house two Nereid500s. The case offers two separate compartments , custom-fit interior foam, aluminum profiles, butterfly latches, ball corners, and recessed handles , ensuring safe and efficient transport. Weighing approximately 34.25 kg per head and featuring a robustly constructed flight case, the set is ready to withstand the rigors of touring and intensive use in professional rentals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does the Nereid500 2pcs in Flightcase kit include?

The kit includes two beamZ Pro Nereid500 hybrid moving heads , a custom-designed FC500 flight case (with wheels and separate compartments), quick-lock omega clamps for truss mounting, and the corresponding power cables . Everything is ready for immediate use on tours, at events, or in professional installations.

Are they really suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The Nereid500s are IP65 rated , meaning the housing is sealed against dust and water jets, allowing for outdoor use in moderate rain and harsh environments. Even so, it's always recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding placement, rigging, and maintenance to ensure safe operation and extend the lifespan.

Can they also be used indoors?

Absolutely. Although designed for outdoor use, the Nereid500 projectors perform flawlessly in large indoor venues such as pavilions, theaters, auditoriums, or film sets, taking full advantage of their power, 2°–44° zoom range, and wide array of effects. The IP65 rating adds robustness and extra protection, even in dusty, smoky, or humid environments.

What advantages does the CMY mixing offer compared to a simple color wheel?

The CMY color mixing system allows for continuous adjustment of the amount of cyan, magenta, and yellow, resulting in a very wide range of tones and smooth transitions between colors. This offers much greater flexibility than a color wheel alone, which is limited to direct changes from one color to the next. The Nereid500 combines both systems: a fast color wheel and CMY for fine gradations.

What type of DMX and RDM control does it incorporate?

Each Nereid500 moving head features 29 DMX channels , allowing for detailed control of pan, tilt, dimmer, color, zoom, focus, gobos, prisms, frost, and strobe. Furthermore, it is RDM compatible , enabling compatible consoles and systems to view and modify device parameters (DMX address, modes, diagnostics, etc.) without physically accessing the unit.

Is the flight case specifically designed for these moving heads?

Yes. The included flight case is specifically designed to hold two Nereid500s . It features two separate compartments with custom-fit foam, aluminum profiles, butterfly latches, ball corners, and recessed handles, offering the protection and convenience expected of professional touring equipment. There's also space for cables and essential accessories.
