beamZ Pro MHL3740 - 37x40W RGBW LED Moving Head Wash Light with Motorized Linear Zoom

The beamZ Pro MHL3740 is a professional moving head wash light with motorized linear zoom, designed to cover large areas with a powerful and uniform wash of color. It incorporates 37 ultra-bright 40W 4-in-1 RGBW LEDs (1,480W total LED power), offering precise color mixing and a wide color gamut, ideal for concerts, theaters, clubs, corporate events, and high-end permanent installations.

Thanks to its motorized zoom with a variable beam angle of 15° to 48°, the MHL3740 allows you to switch from narrow beams to wide wash projections, adapting to both deep and close-up scenes. Furthermore, it integrates CTB/CTO color temperature correction which, along with the 2,800 K to 8,000 K range, makes it easy to achieve warm or cool tones according to design needs—very useful for theater, television, and applications where skin tones and whites need to appear natural.

The internal mechanics utilize high-power, low-noise motors specially optimized for professional applications. This results in extremely fast, smooth, and quiet pan movements of up to 540° and tilt movements of up to 220°, even during abrupt changes and continuous motion effects. This combination makes it perfect for both touring and rental applications, as well as permanent installations in venues where noise must be kept to a minimum.

In terms of control, the MHL3740 offers DMX modes with 38, 40, 188, and 193 channels, including single-pixel control of each LED to create advanced pixel-mapping effects and complex dynamic patterns. It is RDM-compatible, allowing for remote configuration and monitoring of the device from the console or control software. It also features automatic programs, master/slave mode, and music-activated operation with adjustable sensitivity, making it suitable for use without a DMX console in simple or temporary setups.

The control panel with LCD display provides easy access to all menus and parameters, even in low-light environments. Connectivity options include DMX inputs and outputs via 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors, as well as Powercon power input and output connectors for clean and secure daisy-chaining of multiple units. Its black chassis, IP20 rating for indoor use, and temperature-controlled fan cooling ensure reliable and stable operation, even during extended use. It comes complete with Omega Quick Lock clamps, a DMX cable, and a Powercon cable, ready for quick mounting on trusses or lighting structures.

Product benefits

• Maximum versatility in a single unit: the wide zoom range of 15° to 48° allows the MHL3740 to be used as a general wash, as a background wash or even as a concentrated beam at specific moments, reducing the need to combine several types of lights.
• Intense colors and homogeneous blending: the 40W 4-in-1 RGBW LEDs offer high saturation, clean whites and smooth transitions, with a uniform color wash even at close range.
• Fine control of color temperature: the 2,800–8,000 K range and CTB/CTO functions make it easy to adapt to video cameras, theatrical stages or corporate environments where specific whites are needed.
• Fast and quiet movement: High-performance, low-noise motors allow for very fast PAN/TILT movements without interfering in environments where sound is critical, such as theaters, corporate events, or broadcasts.
• Flexible programming: the different DMX modes (38, 40, 188 and 193 channels) allow you to choose between basic and highly detailed single-pixel control, adapting to both small tables and advanced consoles and media server systems.
• Time-saving assembly: Quick Lock Omega claws and Powercon in/out connectors facilitate clean and quick installation on trusses, lighting bridges, or mobile structures.
• Easy to use without a console: automatic programs, sound-to-light mode, and master/slave operation allow you to put on spectacular shows without the need for DMX programming.
• Touring and rental ready solution: the robust construction, weight of 27.9 kg and protected electronics with controlled ventilation ensure reliability in intensive use.

Use cases

• Concerts and tours: stage lighting, backline color enhancement, motion and pixel effects for dynamic looks.
• Clubs and discos: dance floor lighting, DJ booth reinforcement and aerial effects with close zoom and fast movement.
• Theaters and auditoriums: stage wash, backdrops and cycloramas, with color temperature control to integrate with conventional spotlights.
• Corporate events and presentations: branding of stages, platforms and backdrops, with white balance adjustments suitable for cameras and photography.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use the MHL3740 without a DMX console?
  Yes. The spotlight features automatic programs, master/slave mode, and a sound-to-light mode with adjustable sensitivity, so it can operate independently without a DMX console. The console is only necessary when detailed control of colors, movements, zoom, and pixel effects is required.
• What type of DMX connectors does it include?
  The MHL3740 works with 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors, making it easy to integrate into new systems and existing installations that use either of these standards.
• Is it suitable for outdoor use?
  No, this model has an IP20 rating and is designed for indoor or protected space use. For outdoor use, equipment with an IP65 rating or higher is required.
• What advantages does single pixel control offer?
  It allows you to control each of the 37 LEDs independently, creating patterns, pixel mapping effects, complex chases and very dynamic looks that are not possible with a conventional wash without individual LED control.
• What do I need to install it on a truss?
  The kit includes Quick Lock Omega claws and mounting bracket, so all you need is the appropriate truss or structure and the corresponding safety hardware (e.g., safety slings and approved rigging hardware).
• Can the zoom be controlled by DMX?
  Yes, the zoom is fully motorized and is controlled both from the DMX console and from the internal programs, allowing the beam to be opened or closed in real time during the show.
