Chauvet Professional Rogue Outcast 2 Beam: IP65 Narrow-Beam Fixture with Layered Prisms and Static Gobo Punch
The Rogue Outcast 2 Beam by Chauvet Professional delivers a punchy, precise, and road-ready beam experience, ideal for outdoor stages, high-impact mid-air FX, and long-throw architectural applications. Engineered with an IP65-rated diecast aluminum/magnesium housing, this fixture houses a powerful Ushio 300W NSL lamp that blasts a narrow 0.8° beam angle with a massive output of 29,130 lumens and 204,855 lux @15m.
The optical system includes a massive 160mm front lens and crisp motorized focus, paired with a total of 17 static gobos and a 14-color + white wheel for split-color and scrolling effects. Creative beam shaping is fully unlocked via two independently layerable prisms—a 5-facet linear and 8-facet round—providing expansive visual textures that cut through haze or open air. The frost filter ensures smooth wash-like diffusion when needed, and the motorized strobe and dimmer complete the dynamic toolkit.
Onboard control includes both 16- and 18-channel DMX personalities with support for RDM, plus an easy-access OLED display for in-field configuration. Software updates are possible via a built-in USB-C port, making firmware management straightforward for long-term deployments. With dual Omega bracket mounting and a weather-sealed Seetronic Powerkon IP65 input, it’s ready for elevated installs or mobile production.

Control Modes
The Rogue Outcast 2 Beam supports full DMX and RDM protocol control, giving designers flexible access for both conventional and advanced remote configuration. Two distinct DMX personalities are available:
- 16-Channel Mode: Offers a streamlined control set for rapid integration into pre-programmed scenes or smaller rigs needing tighter channel allocation.
- 18-Channel Mode: Unlocks the full range of features including dual prism layering, motorized focus, motorized frost, and move-in-black functionality.
Control is accessed via a rear-mounted OLED menu display, offering intuitive navigation and profile switching. USB-C port access is also available for software updates, ensuring fixture longevity and compatibility.
RDM functionality enables remote address setting and feedback diagnostics—ideal for fixed installations or high trim touring rigs.
Beam Optics & Lamp Output in the Rogue Outcast 2 Beam
The Rogue Outcast 2 Beam is powered by a 300W Ushio NSL arc lamp with an impressive 8,000-hour rated life and a cool-white color temperature of 8000K. It delivers a sharp, ultra-narrow 0.8° beam angle with a field angle of 1.6° and a full cutoff angle of 2°. Output from the front lens—measuring 160mm in diameter—achieves a staggering 204,855 lux at 15 meters, making this unit a go-to choice for piercing midair FX in long-throw venues or high-trim truss arrays.
Color temperature at full white is rated at 7353K, with a CRI of 75.5, ensuring crisp color separation and bright aerial visibility, especially when using colored gobos or prism overlays. The combination of high-lux output and sharp beam shaping makes this an ideal tool for creating impact in concert tours, stadium rigs, and theme park shows.
DMX Personalities & Trait Structure
The Rogue Outcast 2 Beam includes two selectable DMX personalities—16-channel and 18-channel modes—providing flexible programming paths for both basic and complex control rigs. Both modes cover the unit’s extensive mechanical feature set, including:
- Pan/Tilt: 540°/260° with support for 540°, 360°, or 180° pan and 260°, 180°, or 90° tilt ranges.
- Color Wheel: 14 colors plus open, split colors, and continuous scroll at variable speeds.
- Gobo Wheel: 17 static gobos with scroll, shake, and open indexing support.
- Prism Selection: Layerable 5-facet linear and 8-facet round prisms, both motorized and rotatable.
- Focus & Frost: Motorized precision focus plus even field frost for softening aerial output.
- Dimmer & Shutter: High-speed electronic dimmer and strobe with variable frequency settings.
All traits are RDM-addressable, with configuration and mode assignment possible via the onboard OLED menu or remote DMX tools.
Prism Layering, Static Gobos & Aerial FX
This fixture is designed for maximum beam shaping versatility, with individually controllable and layerable prisms that create stunning multidimensional midair effects. The included prisms are:
- 5-facet linear prism: Motorized rotation with full overlay capabilities.
- 8-facet round prism: Also motorized and fully rotatable, ideal for dynamic cone or tunnel looks.
Both prisms can be stacked or used independently for custom layering, making the unit ideal for high-energy club rigs or immersive theatrical cues. In addition to prisms, the Rogue Outcast 2 Beam features a fixed gobo wheel with 17 static metal gobos, optimized for crisp projection through its narrow 0.8° beam path. Scroll speeds are variable, allowing effects from subtle motion to aggressive spin. The beam quality remains tight and focused even during gobo transitions or strobing.
Environmental Design & IP65 Housing
Engineered for all-weather performance, the Rogue Outcast 2 Beam is housed in a lightweight yet durable aluminum/magnesium diecast shell. This IP65-rated design features sealed data and power connectors, plus an integrated GORE® pressure equalization valve to maintain internal thermal stability. The fixture can operate in extreme conditions, with an ambient temperature range of -14°F to 113°F (-10°C to 45°C).
Power is delivered through a Seetronic Powerkon IP65 input with included Edison adapter cable, and data runs over 5-pin IP-rated DMX ports. Thanks to its sealed architecture and fan-assisted cooling, the Rogue Outcast 2 Beam is equally at home in touring rigs, outdoor installations, and festival stages—even in rain or dust-heavy conditions. The exterior is finished in black and includes dual Omega bracket mounting points for secure rigging under pressure.
How to Deploy the Rogue Outcast 2 Beam in the Field
The Rogue Outcast 2 Beam is optimized for fast rigging and versatile placement across touring, festival, and permanent install environments. Its rugged IP65 housing and dual Omega bracket system make it field-ready out of the box.
- Truss Mounting: Use the included (2) Omega brackets with standard half-couplers or clamps to secure the fixture vertically or horizontally on truss. Ideal for downstage FX, upstage mirror bounces, or front-firing beam grids.
- Ground Stack Operation: Position the unit on flat stage decks for uplighting effects, scenic tracing, or runway-focused beams. Rubberized feet protect surfaces and add stability during impact strobing or pan/tilt movement.
- Weather-Exposed Rigs: Fully IP65 rated, the Outcast 2 Beam is safe to deploy in rain, humidity, or dust-heavy outdoor conditions. Its sealed housing and M12 GORE® pressure valve ensure no internal fogging or thermal buildup.
- Multi-Fixture Beam Arrays: Thanks to its light 45 lb build and compact base, you can deploy multiples in fan or matrix formations. Layer linear and round prisms across a rig for immersive multi-beam sweeps.
This unit is engineered for secure, confident use in both indoor and outdoor conditions—no additional rain covers or dome housings required.
