beamZ Pro StarColor540Z - Professional Outdoor LED Wash Projector with Zoom
The beamZ Pro StarColor540Z is a high-performance LED projector specifically designed for wall washing applications in demanding professional environments. Its robust IP65-rated construction makes it ideal for both permanent outdoor installations and mobile events, guaranteeing complete protection against dust and high-pressure water jets. This projector is the perfect tool for illuminating building facades, monuments, and gardens, as well as for adding color to stages, pavilions, and large indoor spaces.
Equipped with a powerful 36-LED light source, each LED producing 15W of light, and featuring 4-in-1 RGBW technology, the StarColor540Z delivers a rich, homogeneous, and vibrant color mix. This power is complemented by a versatile motorized zoom that allows you to adjust the beam angle from a focused 7° to a wide 58° coverage, adapting to any surface or distance. As a distinguishing feature, it incorporates a backlighting effect with 72 additional RGB LEDs, enabling the creation of complex and original color layers and visual effects.
The control of the equipment is fully flexible, offering multiple operating modes including wired DMX (XLR 3 pin), integrated wireless DMX (WDMX) for cleaner and faster installation, standalone mode with predefined programs and master/slave mode to synchronize multiple units without the need for an external controller.
Main features
-
Powerful dual light source: Features 36 main 15W 4-in-1 LEDs (RGBW) for intense color mixing and 72 0.2W RGB LEDs for a creative backlighting effect.
-
Wide-amplitude motorized zoom: The beam angle is adjustable from 7° to 58°, allowing you to go from a narrow, defined beam to a wide wash of light to cover large areas.
-
Designed for the outdoors: Its sealed aluminum housing and tempered glass lens give it an IP65 rating, ensuring reliable operation in the rain and in adverse weather conditions.
-
Row control: The main LEDs can be controlled by rows independently, opening the door to pixel mapping effects and dynamic patterns.
-
Versatile professional control: Integrates multiple control modes, including DMX512, WDMX (wireless DMX), automatic programs, and master/slave configuration.
-
High-precision dimmer: The 16-bit dimmer allows for extremely smooth intensity transitions, perfect for theatrical and architectural applications.
-
Flicker-Free: The PWM frequency is adjustable (600, 1200, 2400, 4800Hz), guaranteeing flicker-free operation in front of video cameras and television.
-
Easy setup: It has a control panel with a 2.4-inch color TFT screen for intuitive navigation and configuration of all its functions.
Benefits for the lighting professional
The StarColor540Z is designed to simplify the technician's work and enhance the lighting designer's creativity. Its versatility reduces the need for multiple types of projectors, as a single unit can function as a focused beam spotlight or a wall washer. Its reliable IP65 construction minimizes maintenance and ensures the success of every event, regardless of the weather. The inclusion of WDMX as standard dramatically speeds up setup times, eliminating the need for long signal cable runs. Finally, the quality of its light, with a 16-bit dimmer and adjustable PWM, guarantees professional results for both live events and recordings.
Use cases
This projector is ideal for a wide range of applications:
-
Architectural lighting: To highlight, permanently or temporarily, the facades of buildings, monuments, bridges and structures.
-
Outdoor events: Providing ambient and stage lighting at music festivals, weddings, corporate events and trade fairs.
-
Stage and television production: Lighting cycloramas, stage backdrops and creating dynamic visual effects in theaters, concerts and television studios.
-
Large interior spaces: Bathing walls in color in congress halls, exhibition centers, museums and large lobbies.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can it be used safely in heavy rain?
- Yes. Its IP65 rating certifies that it is fully protected against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets from any direction, so even heavy rain will not affect its operation.
- What does it mean that the LEDs are "row-controlled"?
- This means that the 36 main LEDs are grouped into sections or rows that can be controlled independently. This allows for the creation of color sweep effects, patterns, and pixel mapping simulations for more complex and dynamic lighting designs.
- Do I need an external DMX receiver to use it wirelessly?
- No. The StarColor540Z has a built-in WDMX (Wireless DMX) receiver. To control it wirelessly, you will only need a compatible WDMX transmitter to send the DMX signal from your control console.
- What type of power connectors does it use?
- It uses PowerCON TR1 type connectors with input and output. This allows for the safe and professional daisy-chaining of multiple units, simplifying the wiring.
