  • Onboard OLED Control Panel Simplifies Addressing And Configuration On The Fixture
  • 20,000-Hour LED Lifetime Reduces Maintenance Burden On Installed Positions

The Martin Lighting Exterior Projection 500 is built for architectural and entertainment lighting professionals who need dependable, high-output gobo projection in exposed outdoor environments. Whether the application is a branded building facade, a themed entertainment installation, or a touring production requiring precision framing, this fixture delivers clean, flat-field image projection with the mechanical resilience to stay in service across changing seasons and weather conditions. The 230 W white light LED engine drives substantial lumen output while the motorized focus system covers distances from close range to infinity, making it equally capable on tight courtyards and large-scale architectural targets.

Four independent layers of dynamic effects, including a color wheel, rotating gobo wheel with animation, prism wheel with interchangeable prisms, and motorized variable frost, give programmers a broad creative toolkit without requiring additional fixtures in the rig. DMX, RDM, and standalone operating modes with an onboard OLED panel keep integration straightforward for both temporary event deployments and permanent installed systems. The cast aluminum housing carries IP66 ingress protection, IK08 impact resistance, and C5-M marine-grade corrosion certification, covering installs in coastal, industrial, and high-humidity environments where lesser-rated fixtures fail prematurely.

Compared to conventional discharge-based outdoor projectors, the LED engine delivers significant energy savings, a rated lifetime of 20,000 hours, and eliminates lamp replacement cycles that drive up maintenance costs on installed or hard-to-access positions. The fixture is available in multiple beam angle variants and finish options to match specific throw distances and aesthetic requirements across a project.
