Description:

Our most versatile Skywriter model ever is also our most rugged, so the Skywriter HPX M-5 smoothly handles the rigors of the road, and also makes for a spectacular permanently installed lighting fixture. The Skywriter HPX M-5 boasts 5W of RGB full-color laser effects, so it can easily produce bright and attention-grabbing effects in venues holding up to 5,000 guests.

Combining that much power with its precision 30K graphics scanners, the Skywriter HPX M-5 can also project enormous, vivid graphics hundreds of feet away. You can produce the exact effect you want thanks to integrated X-Laser Mercury control, so you can completely control the fixture from a pro lighting console (DMX, sACN, Art-Net). Its advanced color mixing technology gets you the exact colors needed for your setting. Efficient, robust and compact, the Skywriter HPX M-5 can elevate your lighting rigs and elevate your business.

As an added bonus, you'll get our Laser Operator Course for free with purchase; a $150 value!

Compliance note: All laser shows in the U.S. must have a remote interlock system (also called an E-Stop) accessible to the laser operator(s) at all times. For our Skywriter systems, the X-Laser EtherStop is the perfect solution.
