NEW Elation Proteus Atlas

The NEW Elation Proteus Atlas is an extremely powerful, feature-packed IP66 Beam FX fixture built for ultra-long-throw outdoor applications, delivering a razor-thin 0.6° beam (zoomable to 8.5°) that slices through the night sky in a mesmerizing display visible from vast distances.

Ideally suited for theme parks, cruise ships, outdoor events and spectaculars, and the perfect jaw-dropping effect for large scale shows and concerts, the sky becomes a visual canvas for its intense beam and powerful prism and flower effects.

Extreme output with efficient solid-state performance

Utilizing an ultra-efficient 500W Solid State Phosphor-Converted (SSPC) light engine, the PROTEUS ATLAS projects captivating beams with high energy that span very long distances. Comparable to existing 7K Xenon searchlights or sky trackers, the ultra-narrow beam projects from the mammoth 320mm (12.5") front lens as a massive column of light, adding attention-grabbing impact to any event or environment. Rated at 1,000,000 lux @ 20m and 100,000 lux @ 100m, it is engineered to stay punchy where conventional beams fade.

Beam shaping, color, and aerial FX for large-scale looks

An artistic selection of gobos and prism overlays allow for captivating mid-air visual effects, and with its incredible light intensity all CMY colors remain strong and vibrant even when fully saturated. Beam control is provided through an ultra-fast zoom and focus lens array while dual variable frosts allow softening of the beam edges for breathtaking wash effects that paint surfaces with vibrant hues or bathe the sky in a kaleidoscope of colors. The fixture’s FX toolset includes two gobo wheels (13 interchangeable rotating/indexing metal gobos plus 26 static-stamped metal gobos), a 25-position color wheel, digital shutter and strobe, and 2x3 prisms on dual planes for layered aerial textures.

Outdoor-ready movement and flexible control options

Fully IP66 rated, the PROTEUS ATLAS stands as a testament to innovation and power, delivering extreme output comparable to large 7000W Xenon fixtures while operating at a fraction of the power for a much smaller footprint and at a weight that defies its capabilities. It supports continuous 360 pan movement, plus 360°/540° pan and 250° tilt for dynamic positioning in wide outdoor venues.

For integration into modern lighting networks, it supports DMX and RDM as well as Art-Net and sACN, with IP65 5-pin DMX in/out, IP65 RJ45 Ethernet in/out, and IP65 locking power in. Two DMX channel modes (26/36 ch), an (6) button touch panel, and a full color 180° reversible LCD menu display make setup and addressing straightforward, and NFC support helps streamline service and configuration workflows.

Sky Motion standalone operation (no console required)

The PROTEUS ATLAS includes Elation’s innovative Sky Motion system, allowing it to operate as an impactful searchlight effect without the need for a dedicated lighting controller. Multiple fixtures can be seamlessly interconnected, and with the simple assignment of IDs, the fixture provides immediate access to a variety of dazzling movement patterns that are easily adjustable in size, speed, and color directly from the display. The Sky Motion system allows for standalone operation and is easy to set up and adjust directly from the fixture display, even for "non-lighting" users, expanding the usability of the fixture beyond traditional show lighting applications.
