MAC One Beam

The Martin MAC One Beam is an ultra-compact, LILI-powered beam moving head delivering 7 million candela of razor-sharp output with CMY color mixing and 3D backlight eye-candy effects. From the Manufacturer The MAC One Beam is the newest member of the MAC One family, designed to deliver tight, high-intensity beams and captivating eye-candy effects in a compact, lightweight form. At its core sits an automotive-grade LILI (Laser Illuminated Lighting Instrument) engine, engineered for precision and reliability. This compact light source produces an exceptionally sharp beam with an intensity of 7 million candela — more than enough for bold aerial effects in concert, TV, and event environments. MAC One Beam's optimized output alleviates growing industry concerns around eye safety, offering a responsible balance of performance and protection. MAC One Beam excels in three key areas. First, its razor-sharp beam and fast CMY color mixing deliver dynamic, high-contrast effects with snappy responsiveness. Second, its compact footprint and sub-5 kg weight allow dense fixture deployment, unlocking bold looks while reducing transport costs and rigging complexity. Third, a mesmerizing three-dimensional backlight effect — featuring individually controllable light guides behind a bold 120 mm lens — adds visual depth and stage presence, even when the beam is idle. MAC One Beam integrates seamlessly with its sibling MAC One wash fixture, sharing a unified ecosystem of rigging accessories including the MAC One Fourbar and VDO Grid Mount System.
