beamZ Pro Nereid1R - Set of 2 Beam 1R IP65 moving heads in flightcase

beamZ Pro Nereid1R - Set of 2 Beam 1R IP65 moving heads in flightcase

The beamZ Pro Nereid1R set consists of two powerful Beam 1R moving heads for indoor and outdoor use, supplied in a custom-made flight case for easy transport and protection during tours, rentals, and intensive setups. Each Nereid1R incorporates a 150W high-intensity discharge lamp and an ultra-sharp beam of just 1.6°, capable of cutting through smoke and dense atmospheres and effortlessly illuminating even the largest stages.

The combination of such a narrow beam angle with a static gobo wheel (17 gobos + open) and a color wheel with 13 colors + open allows for the creation of highly defined projection effects, graphic beams, and visually striking aerial figures. The gobo shake and rainbow effect functions on the gobo and color wheels add dynamism and variety, ideal for lighting designs that seek constant movement and spectacular looks.

The rotating 8- and 16-facet prism, with adjustable speed and direction, multiplies the beam, creating multiple rays that fan out or generate circles and volumetric patterns on the stage or audience. Thanks to the motorized focus, it's possible to maintain the sharpness of the beam or gobos at different working distances without manual adjustments, which is essential in medium and large-scale productions.

Each Nereid1R head features a sealed chassis with an IP65 protection rating, designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, splashes, rain, and dust, ensuring reliable operation in both demanding outdoor and indoor environments. The head offers a wide range of motion with 540° of pan and 270° of tilt, with automatic pan/tilt position correction to restore the reference point if any bump or misalignment occurs during use.

In terms of control, the Nereid1R set offers operation in automatic, music-activated, master/slave, and standard DMX modes. Bidirectional data transmission via RDM allows for parameter configuration and monitoring of each unit from a compatible control console or system. The 0–100% electronic dimmer and 1–10 Hz flash function enable smooth transitions or strobe effects depending on the scene. All of this is managed through an easy-to-read LCD screen located at the base of the light.

Connections include DMX inputs and outputs via 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors, as well as PowerConnector TR1 (P-Con TR1) input and output connectors for easy power bridging between multiple units. Cooling is provided by a temperature-controlled fan, optimizing the balance between performance, stability, and noise level. The package is completed with quick-lock omega clips and power cables for each unit.

With its 150W discharge power, 1.6° beam angle, 8+16 facet prism, and IP65-rated construction, the beamZ Pro Nereid1R 2-piece moving head set in a flight case is a professional solution designed for rental companies, technical production, and installation projects seeking a compact, robust, highly luminous beam ready to work both indoors and outdoors with maximum reliability.

Product benefits

• Tour-ready professional solution: the set includes two Nereid1R heads and a custom-made flight case, simplifying transport, storage and setup, especially for rental and production companies.
• Maximum visual impact with few pieces of equipment: the 1.6° beam and the high power of the discharge lamp provide highly visible beams even on large stages, outdoor events or venues with a strong presence of other effects.
• Creativity thanks to gobos, color and prism: the combination of gobo wheel, color wheel, 8+16 facet prism and rainbow effects allows you to create very varied looks with the same spotlight model.
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use: the IP65 design allows for safe outdoor work, even in adverse weather conditions, reducing the need for additional protection.
• Integration into professional systems: the 16 DMX channels, RDM support and dual DMX connections (3/5 pins) facilitate its incorporation into professional lighting networks and advanced control systems.
• Optimized operational maintenance: the temperature-controlled fan adjusts cooling according to actual usage needs, promoting the stability of the lamp and the assembly.
• Time savings in rigging: the quick-release omega clamps, along with the P-Con TR1 daisy-chain power connections, speed up assembly and disassembly on every production.

Use cases

• Outdoor concerts and festivals: creation of light columns and long-distance beam effects, visible above the audience and the surroundings.
• Corporate events and indoor shows: reinforcement of visual impacts at key moments, fashion shows, presentations and shows in theaters or auditoriums.
