Martin Exterior Image Projection 500 Very Wide 46 Degree
Description
Martin Exterior Image Projection 500 Very Wide 46 Degree
The Martin Exterior Image Projection 500 is built for outdoor projection work that demands uncompromising reliability and durability. Its compact yet robust cast aluminum housing stands up to touring schedules and permanent installations with IP66 ingress protection and marine-grade corrosion resistance, while the 46-degree very wide beam angle cuts throw distance in half, letting you project crisp images on building facades and large surfaces from just a few meters away.
Optical Performance & Weather Resistance
This fixture outputs up to 6100 lumens with flat-field, high-contrast image projection that holds sharpness and detail across the entire frame—essential for logo work and precision framing in live environments. The 5 mm anti-reflection coated tempered glass front and fully sealed housing keep performance consistent in rain, humidity, and salt air with virtually no maintenance required, while IK08 impact resistance (with control panel cover installed) protects against the inevitable bumps and impacts that come with active venues and touring.
Creative Control & Thermal Management
Four layers of dynamic effects—including an 8-color wheel, 6-rotating gobo wheel with variable animation, dual interchangeable prisms, and motorized frost—give your programming unlimited creative range for dynamic scenic and architectural lighting. The fixture's convection and forced-air cooling system dissipates 1100 BTU/hr while keeping the maximum surface temperature at 85°C (185°F), maintaining safe operation across the full range of -30°C to 45°C (-22°F to 113°F)—from winter outdoor gigs to desert festivals.

At a Glance
The Martin Exterior Image Projection 500 Very Wide is a professional-grade outdoor projection fixture delivering up to 6100 lumens with a 46-degree beam angle, compact enough for close-range facade and scenic work without excessive throw distance. Built with IP66 weather protection, marine-grade corrosion resistance, and IK08 impact protection, it handles demanding live venues, architectural installations, and outdoor events with minimal maintenance. Its four-layer effects system—color wheel, rotating gobos, dual prisms, and motorized frost—gives you unlimited creative control while convection and forced-air cooling keep it running reliably across -30°C to 45°C.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 46-degree very wide beam angle mean for my installation?
The 46-degree angle is designed for close-range projection, allowing you to light large surfaces like building facades without requiring excessive throw distance. Minimum sharp focus distance is 3 meters (9.9 feet), making it ideal for architectural work and venue installations where space is limited.
How does this fixture handle outdoor weather and corrosion?
It features IP66 ingress protection (dust and water resistant), C5-M marine-grade corrosion resistance, a hard-anodized metallic grey cast aluminum housing, and a 5 mm anti-reflection coated tempered glass front. These combine to ensure reliable performance with minimal maintenance in harsh outdoor environments.
What creative effects does it offer?
The fixture includes an 8-color interchangeable wheel, 6 rotating gobos with variable speed animation and indexing, dual interchangeable prisms, and a motorized variable frost effect—four layers of dynamic control for unlimited design possibilities.
What is the operating temperature range and how is heat managed?
It operates safely from -30°C to 45°C (-22°F to 113°F) with a convection and forced-air cooling system that dissipates 1100 BTU/hr and maintains a maximum surface temperature of 85°C (185°F), ensuring reliable performance in extreme climates.
Is this fixture impact-resistant?
Yes, it carries an IK08 impact-resistance rating (with the control panel cover installed), providing protection against physical damage in active venues, construction sites, and other demanding installation environments.
