beamZ Pro Nereid1940 - LED Bee Eye Moving Head with Zoom for Outdoor Use
The beamZ Pro Nereid1940 is a professional wash/beam moving head designed to deliver exceptional lighting performance both indoors and outdoors. Equipped with 19 x 40W 4-in-1 (RGBW) LEDs , this unit provides powerful illumination and vibrant color mixing, ideal for large-format productions, events, and installations that demand the highest quality and reliability.
Its robust IP65-rated construction provides complete protection against dust and water jets, ensuring flawless operation in the most demanding conditions, such as outdoor festivals, concerts, or permanent architectural installations. The advanced optical system incorporates a motorized linear zoom with a wide range of 6° to 40°, allowing for smooth transitions between a focused beam and an expansive wash of color. Furthermore, the front honeycomb lenses are rotatable, which, along with individual LED control (pixel control), opens up an infinite range of creative possibilities for generating kaleidoscopic effects and complex pixel mapping.
The Nereid1940 was designed with efficiency and versatility in mind. It incorporates low-noise motors that enable ultra-fast and precise pan (540°) and tilt (180°) movements without generating distracting sounds. Its LCD control panel simplifies setup and offers multiple operating modes, including DMX, automatic programs, master/slave, and sound activation with adjustable sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the IP65 rating mean?
The IP65 rating indicates that the unit is fully protected against dust ingress (the first digit '6') and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction (the second digit '5'), making it suitable for outdoor use in the rain.
What is per-pixel control?
Single pixel control means that each of the 19 LEDs in the moving head can be controlled independently. This allows for much more complex color patterns, animations, and video mapping effects than with a standard wash fixture.
Can multiple units be linked?
Yes, multiple Nereid1940 units can be connected together using the DMX input and output connectors and the power (P-Con) connector. They can operate in master/slave mode, where one unit controls the others, or be controlled individually via a DMX console.
What type of maintenance does it require?
Thanks to its IP65 sealed design, internal maintenance is minimal. Periodic cleaning of the outer lenses is recommended to ensure maximum light output, along with inspection of the cables and connectors. The cooling system features a temperature-controlled fan that helps maintain optimal performance.
