beamZ Pro Nereid740 Kit 2x - 7x40W RGBW IP65 Wash/Beam Moving Heads with Honeycomb Lenses and Flight Case

beamZ Pro Nereid740 Kit 2x - 7x40W RGBW IP65 Wash/Beam Moving Heads with Honeycomb Lenses and Flight Case

The beamZ Pro Nereid740 Kit 2x is a professional set consisting of two Nereid740 moving heads with honeycomb (bee-eye) lenses, supplied in a robust, wheeled flight case designed for intensive transport. Each Nereid740 is a powerful wash/beam moving head with motorized linear zoom, equipped with seven ultra-bright 40W 4-in-1 RGBW LEDs that deliver precise color mixing, from saturated tones to softer shades, with a luminous efficacy of 94,830 lx at 1 m.

Thanks to its unique, high-efficiency motorized optical system (1:6.7 ratio), the Nereid740 offers a zoom range of 6° to 40°, capable of generating both focused beams and wide washes of light. Rotating honeycomb lenses, along with individual pixel control of the 7 LEDs, allow for the creation of complex kaleidoscopic effects, advanced chases, and striking dynamic patterns, ideal for creative setups in live and installation environments.

Its IP65-rated design makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, protecting the electronics from dust and rain. This makes the kit particularly well-suited for touring, outdoor festivals, permanent installations in semi-open venues, and outdoor corporate events. High-performance, noise-reducing motors enable 540° pan and 180° tilt movements with fast and precise transitions while maintaining a very low noise level, even in constantly changing setups.

In terms of control, each Nereid740 features automatic, master/slave, DMX, and music-responsive modes with adjustable sensitivity. The 16-bit electronic dimmer offers extremely smooth dimming from 0 to 100%, and the adjustable strobe effect from 1 to 22 Hz allows for everything from subtle flashes to high-speed flash effects. The control panel with OLED display simplifies DMX address configuration, channel mode selection, and access to pre-programmed macros.

The kit is designed for integration into professional lighting systems: it features DMX inputs and outputs via 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors, as well as P-Con TR1 power input and output connectors, allowing multiple units to be daisy-chained for both signal and power. Each moving head measures 305 x 290 x 425 mm and weighs 10.35 kg, while the complete set (two units plus flight case) weighs approximately 40 kg, making it a robust, practical, and easily transportable solution.

The package includes a Quick Lock omega mounting bracket, DMX cables, and PowerCON power cables for each moving head, as well as a robust flight case with wheels and custom-designed compartments. All of this makes the beamZ Pro Nereid740 Kit 2x a tour-ready solution for rental companies, event companies, theaters, auditoriums, and technical teams that require a combination of power, versatility, and reliability for both indoor and outdoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does the Nereid740 kit include?
The kit includes two Nereid740 moving heads, a custom-designed rugged flight case with wheels, Quick Lock omega mounting claws, DMX cables, and power cables with P-Con TR1 connector for each unit.

Can the Nereid740 be used outdoors without additional protection?
Yes, the Nereid740 has an IP65 rating, making it suitable for outdoor use against dust and moderate rain. Even so, it's recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions and avoid direct immersion or extreme conditions.

What control options does it offer?
Each light head can operate in automatic, master/slave, DMX, and sound-to-light modes with adjustable sensitivity. Through DMX, it offers several channel modes (23, 34, and 51 channels) allowing for everything from basic to highly detailed control, including individual pixel manipulation and advanced effects.

What type of DMX connectors and power supply does it use?
The Nereid740 incorporates DMX input and output connectors in 3 and 5 pin XLR format, as well as P-Con TR1 input and output power connectors, allowing multiple units to be daisy-chained for both signal and power.

What's the difference between using it as a wash and as a beam?
In beam mode, with the zoom closed to around 6°, you get concentrated and very defined beams, ideal for aerial effects or highlighting specific points. In wash mode, with the zoom open to 40°, you get wide coverage for washing large stages, backgrounds, or surfaces with color.

Is it suitable for environments where noise is a significant factor?
Yes. The Nereid740 uses noise-reducing motors and a temperature-controlled ventilation system that keep the noise level low, making it suitable for use in theaters, auditoriums, and corporate events where equipment noise needs to be discreet.

Installation and control

• Mounting: It is recommended to install the heads on trusses, bars or suitable structures using the included Quick Lock omega claws and certified safety slings when placed at height or over the public.
• DMX connection: connect the DMX output of the console to the input of the first unit, chaining the rest via DMX out; it is recommended to terminate the line with a DMX terminator for long installations.
• Power supply: Use the included PowerCON cables and, when necessary, daisy-chain multiple units via the P-Con TR1 outputs, respecting the recommended load limits.
• Adjust from the OLED panel: configure the DMX address, channel mode (23/34/51) and select automatic or sound-sensitive programs from the device menu.
• Maintenance: Clean the lenses periodically and check the ventilation grilles; check the flight case fixings and fittings and the mounting claws to ensure long-lasting and safe use.
