Known for its robust build quality and high-performance features, the Proteus Hybrid is ideal for use in concerts, theatrical productions, architectural lighting, and large-scale events where flexibility and durability are paramount.

At the core of the Proteus Hybrid is its powerful 440-watt discharge lamp, which provides a high-intensity output suitable for a range of lighting needs. The fixture’s optical system includes a zoom range from 7 to 55 degrees, allowing it to produce both narrow, focused beams and wide, expansive washes. This versatility enables lighting designers to create a variety of effects, from sharp, concentrated highlights to broad, immersive washes of color. The Proteus Hybrid is capable of delivering bright, high-quality light with precise control over its beam characteristics.

One of the standout features of the Elation Proteus Hybrid is its ability to operate in multiple modes, including spot, beam, and wash. This multifunctionality is achieved through its advanced optical design and interchangeable lens system. The fixture includes a range of effects, such as a rotating gobo wheel with multiple patterns, a color wheel with a broad spectrum of colors, and an animation wheel for dynamic textures. Additionally, it features an adjustable frost filter for creating diffuse washes, as well as an iris and focus system for precise beam shaping. These features provide designers with a comprehensive toolkit for crafting dynamic and intricate lighting effects.

The Proteus Hybrid excels in control and integration, supporting multiple protocols such as DMX, Art-Net, and sACN. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of lighting control systems and allows for seamless integration into various setups. The fixture includes advanced control features such as dynamic color mixing, variable dimming, and strobe effects. Its user-friendly interface simplifies programming and operation, even in complex lighting environments, allowing for precise control over the fixture’s various functions.

Durability is a key aspect of the Proteus Hybrid’s design. It is engineered with an IP65 rating, making it resistant to dust and water ingress, which is crucial for outdoor use and environments where exposure to the elements is a concern. The fixture’s robust construction and efficient cooling system ensure reliable performance and longevity, even in demanding conditions. Its compact design relative to its output capabilities makes it suitable for both touring and permanent installations.
