Skywriter HPX M-20
Features
Certified to the world’s toughest quality standards
All X-Laser projectors are all certified to comply with U.S. FDA standards and IEC 60825-1
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.
Engineered for efficiency
Series of robust external cooling fans and hundreds of square inches of heat sinking area keep the fixture cool, to help your rig produce awesome effects for longer.
Big power, big value
Skywriter series projectors produce mind-blowing effects at a value that makes them accessible for venues, production companies and rental houses of all sizes.
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.
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.
