Elation SKYWRITER HPX M-20 SKYWRITER 20W PRO LASER FIXTURE W MERCURY
The X-Laser Skywriter HPX M-20 strikes an ideal balance between power and efficiency, delivering 20 watts of full-color RGB output for high-impact laser shows. Designed for production professionals, this fixture offers excellent value for mid-range applications—from medium-sized indoor venues and larger performance spaces to outdoor events and festival stages.
Thanks to its integrated Mercury Laser Control System, the M-20 is fully compatible with lighting consoles using DMX, Art-Net, or sACN. It features over 450 gobos, 11 digital prisms, 50 color macros, and 60 motion macros with adjustable speed and amplitude, giving you the creative flexibility you'd expect from any other top-brand programmable lighting fixture. With over 1,000 analog-mixed RGB colors available, you’ll have a rich palette for show design.
Built for durability and reliability, the M-20 has a sealed optical deck that shields internal optics from wind, dust, and moisture. Cooling is handled by an array of external fans and massive heat-sink surfaces, maintaining stable operation even during long or demanding shows.
Despite its 20W output, the Skywriter HPX M-20 is relatively efficient: it draws around 280W typical power (with up to 400W peak), which makes for a solid power-to-performance ratio.
Every unit is double-quality checked in a 26-point inspection to ensure reliability, and it comes backed by X-Laser’s 2-year “no-hassle” warranty. As a Class 4 high-powered laser, it requires an FDA variance—but the free EZ Variance Kit and X-Laser's industry-leading variance support can help simplify that process.
Whether you're a production company, touring act, or rental house, the Skywriter HPX M-20 delivers pro-level brightness, control, and dependability, while maintaining a smart power draw and a strong value proposition.
