beamZ Pro Nuke3 - Motorized 180° Twin Strobe-Wash Spotlight IP65 with Pixel Mapping

beamZ Pro Nuke3 - Motorized 180° Twin Strobe-Wash Spotlight IP65 with Pixel Mapping

The beamZ Pro Nuke3 is a hybrid motorized strobe/spotlight designed for professional applications requiring maximum versatility, power, and reliability both indoors and outdoors. With a 180° motorized tilt range , this unit can operate as a high-impact twin strobe , an RGB color wash , or a simultaneous combination of both effects , offering a wide range of creative possibilities for concerts, festivals, architectural projects, clubs, and corporate events.

Its light source combines two rows of 48 x 10W cool white LEDs (96 total) dedicated to the strobe with 864 x 0.5W RGB SMD LEDs , distributed across 96 pixel-mapped sections . This allows for the creation of everything from extremely bright white flashes to smooth color washes, gradients, chases, and graphic effects controlled by DMX or ArtNet. The RGB + cool white color mix ensures vibrant tones and a powerful white light for flashes, accents, or rhythmic effects.

The Nuke3 incorporates an electronic frost filter that acts as a variable diffuser, softening the beam and widening the coverage area when a more homogeneous wash is desired. Thanks to its IP65 rating , the unit is designed for outdoor use, withstanding rain, dust, and demanding conditions in outdoor settings, building facades, and permanent or temporary events.

In terms of control, the Nuke3 offers DMX512 with RDM and ArtNet support , several DMX channel modes (8, 11, 13, 24, 30, 74, 97) , automatic programs, and pre-programmed shows with adjustable speed. Operation is via a control panel with an LCD display and locking key , making it easy to use in rental companies, on tours, and in venues where multiple technicians share the same equipment.

With a beam angle of 110° (beam) and 120° in pixel mode , an approximate illuminance of 7,157 lx at 1 m (up to 32,573 lx at 1 m in strobe mode ) and a robust design intended for intensive use, the beamZ Pro Nuke3 positions itself as a complete solution for professional lighting projects that need a single device capable of covering strobe, color wash, dynamic effect and motorized stage element functions.

Product benefits

• Maximum versatility with a single unit : the Nuke3 can act as a high-power strobe, as a color wash to bathe surfaces, or as a mix of both, reducing the number of lights needed in a rig.
• Time savings in setup and programming : automatic programs, pre-programmed shows and different DMX modes allow the equipment to be quickly adapted to the technical level of the event, from simple installations to complex productions.
• High visual impact : the combination of intense white light bursts with dynamic color and 180° movement offers very striking scenes, perfect for key moments of the show, musical drops or climax effects.
• Advanced pixel control : the 96 mappable sections allow you to create patterns, waves, chases and graphic effects that give a modern and professional look to any stage or installation.
• Ready for the outdoors : IP65 certification makes the Nuke3 suitable for outdoor festivals, plazas, building facades, theme parks and any environment where rain and dust resistance is required.
• Integration into professional lighting networks : Thanks to ArtNet, RDM and multiple DMX modes, the spotlight is easily integrated into advanced control systems, with remote monitoring and adjustments without the need to physically access the device.
• Clean transitions and fine light control : the 16-bit dimmer and adjustable curves allow for smooth and precise fades, both for color wash and strobe, facilitating careful and less aggressive programming when needed.
• Designed for heavy-duty use : its robust construction, key-lock panel and professional connectors ensure reliability for rentals, tours and continuous use in fixed venues.

Use cases

• Festivals and outdoor concerts : as the main strobe light on the stage, bathed in the audience, effects on side towers or front structures.
• Clubs, discos and concert halls : mounting on the dance floor, stage or perimeter structure for light bursts, rhythmic effects and dynamic color.
• Corporate events and audiovisual productions : creation of dynamic environments, backlighting effects, animated backgrounds and versatile looks on set or stage.
• Temporary architectural lighting : highlighting facades, industrial structures, stands or unique elements during special events, ceremonies or presentations.
• Rental companies and integrators : as an "all-terrain" device capable of covering multiple types of events without changing the lighting fixture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Nuke3 work only as a strobe or only as a wash?
Yes. It is possible to use only the cool white LED section as a strobe, only the RGB LEDs as a color wash, or both at the same time, depending on the DMX programming or internal programs.

Is it suitable for permanent outdoor use?
The spotlight has an IP65 protection rating , making it suitable for outdoor use. Even so, it is recommended to follow good installation practices (drainage, secure mounting, regular inspections) to ensure maximum durability.

What do I need to control it using ArtNet?
All that's needed is an ArtNet-compatible driver or software and a suitable data network. The Nuke3 connects via RJ45 and is configured from its LCD panel to assign IP addresses and network universes.

Is it possible to map pixel by pixel from lighting software?
Yes. The 96 RGB LED sections can be individually controlled via the higher-channel DMX modes , making it ideal for media servers, advanced consoles, or pixel mapping software.

Is the movement of the motorized head noisy?
The Nuke3 is designed for stage and event use, with smooth tilt movement . In very quiet environments (theater, TV studio), it is recommended to adjust the speed and type of use accordingly, but its design is suitable for most professional applications.
