1. Why the H1 IP65 Beam Exists (Outdoor Reality, Not Lab Conditions)
Outdoor environments are tough—especially when you’re trying to keep looks consistent:
- LED walls, street lighting, and skyline glow can wash out beams fast
- Humidity, rain, dust, and salt air punish optics and mechanics
- Touring schedules demand repeatable cues and minimal downtime
- Public installations require safety, documentation, and compliance readiness

2. Unmatched Output and Color: What 34,500 Lumens Really Means
2.1 34,500 lumens: visibility you can count on
With 34,500 lumens, the H1 IP65 Beam is built to remain readable in real outdoor environments:
- Better long-throw presence across wide viewing angles
- More resistance to ambient light and changing haze density
- Stronger “main-visual” beam structure without over-stacking fixtures
2.2 RGB laser engine: saturated color, smoother gradients
At the core is a precision RGB laser engine delivering 16.7 million colors with high saturation and clarity.
Unlike conventional systems that rely heavily on absorption filters (which can reduce brightness and sometimes create uneven color intensity), the H1 emphasizes pure RGB component mixing. That helps preserve output and improves efficiency—translating into:
- richer tones
- deeper contrast
- cleaner transitions
- more consistent color intensity across cues

3. Effects and Creative Tools: More Than “Just Bright”
Brightness is the foundation; effects are where design becomes flexible. The H1 IP65 Beam includes a set of moving head beam effects built to be usable—not gimmicky.
3.1 Motorized zoom: from knife-sharp to wider spatial layering
Motorized zoom lets one fixture cover multiple roles:
- tight beam angles for punch, climax hits, aerial stacks
- wider angles for transitions, texture, and spatial depth
3.2 Dynamic gobo effects + multi-layer prisms: turn beams into architecture
- Dynamic gobos add texture and motion that reads well both on stage and on building surfaces
- Multi-layer prism effects create arrays, splits, and stacked geometry—especially powerful in haze
3.3 Smooth, precise pan/tilt: because “clean movement” looks premium
Movement is designed to feel intentional—smooth starts, stable tracking, accurate stops—so cues look refined instead of shaky or cheap.

4. IP65-Rated Housing: Built for Weather, Dust, and Long Runs
The H1’s IP65 enclosure is engineered to resist water and dust intrusion and reduce environmental wear. Whether you’re running stadium shows, outdoor festivals, or public installations, IP65 is less about bragging rights and more about risk control:
- fewer weather delays
- fewer emergency covers and last-minute protection hacks
- more consistent performance across seasons


5. Class 1 Compliance Focus: High Impact with Safety in Mind
For many public events and fixed installations, compliance isn’t optional—it’s part of approvals and operational safety. The H1 IP65 Beam is designed to align with international Class 1 certification requirements, including:
- RG3 IEC EN 62471-5:2015
- CLASS 1 IEC EN 60825-1:2014
Using optical conversion approaches developed through extended R&D, the system is intended to deliver uniform, powerful output while supporting safer deployment workflows. If your project touches public sightlines, landmark locations, or regulated environments, this is the kind of detail that keeps teams moving forward instead of getting stuck in review cycles.

7. H1 IP65 vs Traditional Beam Fixtures: What’s Different?
Here’s the short, practical comparison:
- Color generation: pure RGB mixing vs filter-based approaches
- Outdoor readiness: IP65 sealing for rain/dust vs indoor-focused housings
- Beam presence: 34,500-lumen output designed to hold up against ambient light
- Look flexibility: zoom + gobo + prism layers for both aerial and texture work
- Deployment confidence: compliance-focused design for public-facing projects
- Total cost of ownership: fewer weather failures and fewer “band-aid” protections can mean smoother production life

8. Real-World Use Cases and Programming Tips
8.1 Festival mainstage: aerial stacks that stay readable
- Run tighter zoom during drops for “knife” beams that cut through LED walls
- Use prism arrays to build width without increasing fixture count
- Treat gobos as rhythmic texture—great for mid-energy sections between peaks
8.2 Stadium/arena-scale outdoor shows: long-throw clarity
- Prioritize placement that reduces extreme tilt angles to keep beam geometry clean
- Use zoom to maintain consistent beam thickness across distance changes
- Build layered looks: tight core beams + widened transition scenes
8.3 Architectural facades and landmarks: texture that feels designed
- Use gobos for “architectural language” (lines, grids, organic textures)
- Keep gradients slow and intentional—RGB mixing can deliver smoother color shifts
- Consider sightlines: design for both near and far viewers (street-level + skyline)
8.4 Night-tour installations: reliability and repeatability
- Program loops with moderate movement ranges to reduce mechanical stress
- Schedule maintenance checks aligned with run hours, not calendar days
- Favor stable looks that remain strong even when haze is inconsistent
8.5 Coastal/humid regions: environmental discipline matters
- Build a simple cleaning routine for lens surfaces
- Store and transport with sealed protection to reduce salt and moisture exposure
- Plan positioning to avoid direct high-pressure water exposure during cleaning cycles

9. How Many Fixtures Do You Need? A Simple Planning Framework
There isn’t one universal number, but you can estimate fast using three variables:
- Venue scale and throw distance — longer throws usually require higher output for consistent readability.
- Ambient light level — city centers and LED-heavy stages demand more intensity and stronger beam structure.
- Visual role — if beams are your main visual, allocate more units for symmetry and depth; if beams are accent layers, fewer units can still create premium moments.
Quick buying checklist
- Outdoor exposure? → prioritize IP65
- Need aerial “hero” beams? → prioritize output + zoom
- Need texture for architecture? → prioritize gobos + gradient control
- Public-facing site? → prioritize compliance readiness
- Tight show schedule? → prioritize reliability + predictable programming
10. Buyer FAQ (Decision-Focused)
Q1: Is an IP65 moving head beam worth it for festivals?
If you’re dealing with weather uncertainty, dust, and long run times, IP65 is often the difference between “we made it” and “we lost a day to troubleshooting.”
Q2: How bright is 34,500 lumens in real outdoor shows?
It’s designed for strong beam presence against ambient light—especially useful in city environments, stadium-scale throws, and LED-heavy stages.
Q3: Does RGB laser mixing look different than filter-based systems?
In many looks, yes—RGB mixing can preserve brightness while delivering higher saturation and smoother gradients, especially across color transitions.
Q4: Is this better for festivals or architectural lighting?
Both. Festivals lean on aerial punch and movement; architecture leans on color consistency, texture, and controlled gradients. The H1 supports both workflows.
Q5: Does IP65 mean it can run in heavy rain nonstop?
IP65 helps protect against water and dust intrusion, but good practice still matters—avoid direct high-pressure water impact and follow maintenance routines.
Q6: Can I start with a small batch before committing to a full rig?
Yes. Many teams start with a small-batch order for testing in real venues before scaling to tour or install quantities.
Q7: What about shipping, warranty, and support?
Depending on destination and order size, free shipping options may be available. Professional support and warranty coverage are commonly offered (terms vary by region). Ask for packaging recommendations if you’re touring.
Q8: What control systems will it work with?
Confirm your preferred protocol and console library/profile needs ahead of time. Planning this early reduces onsite friction and speeds up programming.
Q9: Is it overkill for smaller indoor venues?
For indoor venues with short throws and controlled conditions, you may not need this level of output and sealing. It shines most in outdoor and large-scale environments.
Q10: How do I keep performance consistent across multiple fixtures?
Standardize zoom ranges per scene, keep prism/gobo usage consistent by cue type, and build looks around repeatable beam geometry—especially important for touring.
Q11: Can it be used for public installations legally?
Compliance needs vary by region and application. The H1 is designed with Class 1 compliance requirements in mind, which can make approvals smoother—still confirm local requirements.
Q12: What maintenance should I plan for long outdoor runs?
Create a run-hour-based checklist: lens cleaning, housing inspection, connection checks, and periodic performance validation. Consistency beats emergency fixes.
