17R 460W Beam Moving Head Light for Professional Stage Events UAE

The 17R 460W Beam Moving Head Light is a high-output professional fixture designed for concerts, wedding stages, theatres and large event productions. It delivers up to 145,000 lux at 10 metres with a versatile 5°–43° zoom, dual rotating prisms, interchangeable gobos and precise DMX-controlled movement for both concentrated beam effects and wider stage looks.

Technical Specifications

145,000 Lux Output for Large Stage Productions

The optical system produces up to 145,000 lux at 10 metres, giving this fixture the intensity required for professional stages where beams must remain clearly visible against LED screens, wash lighting and other high-output fixtures.

Unlike a small DJ beam designed primarily for compact rooms, this 17R platform is positioned for larger installations where throw distance and visual impact matter.

With atmospheric haze, the concentrated output creates defined aerial shafts that can be used for:

• Concert beam effects

• Wedding entrances

• Festival-style stage looks

• Artist reveals

• Corporate launches

• Theatre transitions

• DJ performance sequences

Several fixtures can be arranged across overhead or side truss to create symmetrical patterns, crossing beams and coordinated movement across the venue.

5°–43° Zoom Expands the Fixture Beyond a Narrow Beam

One of the biggest advantages of this model is its unusually broad 5°–43° optical range.

At the narrow 5° setting, the light creates a concentrated beam suited to long-throw aerial effects and sharp stage looks.

Opening the zoom provides wider coverage for situations where the designer wants the same fixture to produce a broader visual field.

This allows the lighting team to move between:

• Tight beam effects

• Wider stage projection

• Gobo projection

• Frosted wash-style output

• Scenic lighting

For rental companies, that flexibility can reduce the need to carry a separate fixture for every visual requirement.

13 Colours Plus Open White

The colour wheel provides 13 selectable colours plus an open position.

A dedicated colour wheel gives programmers fast, defined colour changes while maintaining the concentrated optical character of the discharge source.

The system can be used for:

• Single-colour beam scenes

• Split-colour transitions

• White aerial effects

• Fast concert colour changes

• Themed wedding lighting

• Music-driven colour sequences

Because colour, gobo, prism and movement operate independently, designers can combine them to create substantially more variations than colour alone.

14 Static Gobos and 9 Rotating Gobos

The fixture carries two separate pattern systems.

There are 14 static gobos for fixed beam shapes and 9 rotating gobos for effects that require movement within the projected pattern.

Rotating gobos add texture and motion without requiring the entire moving head to constantly change position.

The system also supports:

• Gobo shake

• Gobo rotation

• Interchangeable gobos

• 15.8 mm gobo format

Interchangeable gobos are particularly valuable for production companies that want to customise the fixture for specific shows or creative requirements.

When projected onto stages, floors or scenic surfaces, the gobo system can turn the moving head into more than an aerial beam fixture.

Dual 6-Facet and 8-Facet Prism Effects

Two separate prism options provide additional beam multiplication.

The optical system includes:

• 6-facet prism

• 8-facet prism

A prism divides the original beam into multiple outputs, creating a larger visual pattern from a single fixture.

This can dramatically change the appearance of a cue.

A clean single beam may be used during a performer introduction, then a prism effect can be introduced during a musical transition to create a wider, more energetic look.

Prism effects work particularly well with haze because each separated beam becomes visible through the atmosphere.

Frost Filter Converts Sharp Output into a Softer Effect

A built-in frost filter softens the concentrated beam.

Instead of maintaining the hard-edged appearance associated with a beam fixture, the frost spreads and diffuses the output to create a broader visual texture.

This gives lighting designers another option when the production requires something between a narrow beam and conventional wash lighting.

For mixed-format events, the same moving head can therefore move from aggressive aerial effects during entertainment to softer scenic lighting during other parts of the programme.

Motorised Focus for Accurate Projection

The fixture includes motorised focus, allowing the operator to adjust projection sharpness directly from the lighting console.

This is especially important when using gobos.

Projection distance changes from venue to venue, and the focus position required for a sharp pattern at 8 metres may differ from the setting required at 20 metres.

Remote focus adjustment means technicians do not have to access an overhead fixture whenever the installation distance changes.

For rental fleets moving between ballrooms, theatres and concert stages, this saves valuable setup time.

540° Pan and 270° Tilt

The motorised head provides approximately 540° pan and 270° tilt.

This gives programmers a wide movement area for directing beams across different parts of the venue.

Fixtures can be programmed for:

• Slow stage sweeps

• Mirrored movement

• Crossing beams

• Symmetrical positions

• Rapid concert movement

• Static architectural positions

When several units are installed together, pan and tilt programming can turn individual lights into one coordinated visual system.

Adequate physical clearance should be maintained around every fixture so the head can complete its movement without hitting adjacent equipment or truss components.

16CH and 20CH DMX Control

The fixture supports 16-channel and 20-channel DMX personalities.

This gives programmers the option of choosing a more economical channel mode or a more detailed control profile depending on the production.

DMX integration allows the fixture to work alongside:

• Beam moving heads

• Moving head washes

• LED PAR lights

• Strobes

• Pixel fixtures

• Lasers

• Stage effects

The operator can coordinate movement, colour, gobos, prisms, focus and other parameters from a professional lighting console.

For larger stage systems, channel planning should be completed before addressing the fixtures so multiple units can be managed efficiently.

Auto, Sound and Master/Slave Operation

DMX programming is not required for every application.

The fixture also supports:

• Automatic programmes

• Manual operation

• Sound-to-light mode

• Master/Slave operation

Sound activation allows built-in effects to react to music, which can be useful for clubs, DJs and temporary entertainment setups.

Master/Slave operation enables several compatible fixtures to follow the same behaviour without programming each unit separately.

For concerts, weddings and productions requiring precise cues, DMX remains the preferred control method.

Temperature-Controlled Cooling

The 460W discharge source and optical system generate considerable heat during operation.

A temperature-controlled fan system adjusts cooling to help manage the fixture's internal operating temperature.

Adequate ventilation remains essential.

Do not block cooling openings with:

• Curtains

• Decorative fabric

• Flight cases

• Stage scenery

• Other fixtures

The light should also be allowed to cool before maintenance, transport or lamp access.

IP20 Indoor Stage Fixture

The documented protection rating is IP20.

This means the moving head should be treated as an indoor fixture and protected from rain, splashing water and uncontrolled moisture.

Suitable environments include:

• Hotel ballrooms

• Indoor concert venues

• Theatres

• Nightclubs

• Exhibition halls

• Indoor wedding stages

• Auditoriums

How Bright Is the 17R 460W Beam Moving Head?

The documented output reaches approximately 145,000 lux at 10 metres.

This high illuminance makes it appropriate for professional stage environments where a beam needs to remain visually prominent over longer distances.

What Is the Beam Angle?

The optical system provides an adjustable range from approximately 5° to 43°.

The narrow setting creates concentrated beam effects, while the wider end provides greater projection coverage.

How Many Gobos Does the Fixture Have?

The light includes 14 static gobos and 9 rotating gobos.

It also supports gobo shake and interchangeable 15.8 mm gobos for additional creative flexibility.

What Prism Effects Are Available?

Two prism systems are provided: a 6-facet prism and an 8-facet prism.

These split the original beam into multiple outputs for wider and more complex aerial effects.

Does It Support DMX512?

Yes.

The fixture supports 16CH and 20CH DMX modes through a 3-pin XLR connection.

It can also operate in automatic, manual, sound and Master/Slave modes.

Does the 460W Moving Head Work on UAE Power?

Yes. Its specified AC100–240V, 50/60Hz electrical range covers UAE 220–240V / 50Hz mains power.

The exact mains plug supplied with Stagify inventory should still be physically confirmed before publication.

Can It Be Used Outdoors?

Not in exposed outdoor conditions.

The fixture carries an IP20 rating, so it should remain in a dry environment. For outdoor concerts or festivals where rain, moisture or dust exposure is possible, use a properly rated outdoor moving head.

Does the Beam Light Need Haze?

The fixture can project without haze, but atmospheric haze makes its aerial beam, prism and movement effects significantly more visible.

For professional concert and stage looks, a controlled haze effect is commonly used.

Venue rules should be checked before operating haze or fog equipment.

Installation & Safety Requirements

At approximately 20 kg, this moving head requires appropriately rated truss, clamps and mounting hardware for overhead installations.

Use an independent secondary safety attachment whenever the fixture is suspended.

Before each setup, inspect:

• Mounting bracket

• Lighting clamp

• Safety cable

• Truss connection

• Power cable

• DMX cable

Allow enough clearance for the full 540° pan and 270° tilt movement.

The discharge lamp and internal optical components become hot during operation. Disconnect power and allow sufficient cooling time before servicing the fixture.

Professional overhead installations should be completed by personnel experienced with stage-lighting and truss systems.
