Features

Direct compatibility with lighting consoles

With X-Laser’s Mercury Laser Control System, this projector functions just like any other moving-head fixture when connected to a pro console.

Professional, precision graphics

With ILDA-standard 20K graphics scanners, you can easily create sharp and stunningly bright graphics, logos, text and animated projections up to 100 feet tall.

Road ready, road rugged

With a sealed optical deck for weather resistance and a solid build that makes rigging worry-free, you can focus on creating the best possible laser show both indoors and out.

Step into the world of professional laser effects with the X-Laser Skywriter HPX M-2, a powerful yet compact 2-watt RGB fixture that’s ideal for smaller venues, touring rigs, and installations where space and budget matter. Despite its small size, this laser packs serious punch—with ultra-tight, low-divergence beams engineered for crisp graphics, richly saturated color, and high-precision effects.


Control is seamless: the Skywriter HPX M-2 integrates with X-Laser’s Mercury Laser Control system, letting you harness 5-pin DMX, Art-Net, or sACN across more than 450 gobos, 11 digital prisms, 50 color macros, and 60 motion macros. Use the built-in master or basic control modes to tailor your show to your console or workflow.


Built to withstand live performance demands, the M-2 features a sealed optical deck to protect against dust and moisture, and rugged circuitry cooled by external fans to maintain optimal performance. This durability pairs with a featherlight, road-friendly design so you can transport it easily without compromising on professional quality.


With its combination of compact footprint, precision beam control, and pro-level effects, the Skywriter HPX M-2 is an outstanding value—delivering the hallmarks of high-end laser performance at a price point that’s easily accessible to smaller production companies, clubs, and mobile lighting setups.
