beamZ Pro MHL1240 - Professional LED Wash Moving Head with Zoom and Pixel-by-Pixel Control
The beamZ Pro MHL1240 is a wash moving head designed to deliver superior performance in professional lighting environments. Equipped with twelve 40W 4-in-1 (RGBW) ultra-bright LEDs, this unit provides exceptional color mixing and impressive light output, capable of generating everything from intensely saturated colors to subtle pastel shades. Its advanced LED technology ensures homogeneous coverage and a virtually infinite color palette for any application.
One of its most outstanding features is the motorized linear zoom, which offers an adjustable beam angle range of 4.5° to 31° and a field of view of 7° to 48°. This versatility allows for a smooth and precise transformation from a sharp, narrow beam to a wide, diffused wash of light, dynamically adapting to the needs of each scene. The head movement is managed by high-power, extremely quiet motors, enabling ultra-fast pan (540°) and tilt (220°) movements without generating noise—an essential quality for use in theaters, television studios, and corporate events.
Control is one of the MHL1240's strongest points. In addition to automatic, manual, and music-activated operating modes, it offers complete control via DMX and RDM. With four DMX channel modes (11, 17, 18, and 58), it adapts to both simple setups and complex programs requiring the highest level of detail. The Single Pixel Control function allows you to manipulate each of the 12 LEDs independently, opening up a range of creative possibilities for generating mapping effects and dynamic visual patterns. RDM (Remote Device Management) compatibility simplifies remote configuration and diagnostics, optimizing setup time.

Product benefits
The beamZ Pro MHL1240 is designed for professionals seeking reliability, versatility, and creative control. Its powerful light output and exceptional color mixing make it an ideal tool for lighting designers. The wide-range zoom eliminates the need for multiple fixture types, as a single unit can function as a narrow beam or an expansive wash. The per-pixel control feature is a key differentiator, enabling the creation of unique visual displays that stand out from the competition. Finally, its quiet operation and robust construction make it a safe and long-lasting investment for both rental companies and permanent installations.
Use cases
This moving head is the perfect solution for a wide range of professional applications, including:
- Concerts and musical tours.
- Theatre and performing arts productions.
- Television studios and broadcasting.
- Corporate events and product launches.
- Fixed installations in nightclubs, concert halls and leisure venues.
- Audiovisual equipment rental companies.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What exactly does "single pixel control" allow?
- It allows you to control the color and intensity of each of the 12 LEDs independently. This opens up a world of possibilities for creating patterns, video mapping, and visual effects that are not possible with conventional wash heads.
- What advantages does the RDM protocol offer?
- Remote Device Management (RDM) enables bidirectional communication with the equipment. This means that from a compatible controller, you can change the DMX address, monitor the equipment's status (such as temperature or usage hours), and perform diagnostics remotely, streamlining the installation and management of complex lighting systems.
- Is it a noisy device?
- No, the MHL1240 is equipped with high-quality motors designed to be extremely quiet, making it perfectly suited for use in theaters, studios, or any environment where low noise levels are a critical factor.
- What type of power connectors does it use?
- It uses Powercon input and output connectors, the professional standard that ensures a safe and reliable connection. The output allows you to link the power supply of multiple units, simplifying wiring.
