Portman Lights EVO Element Hire

The Mantis by Portman Lights represents the next evolution in decorative stage lighting. Its patented form houses three 60 W dim-to-warm LED sources that emulate tungsten, three 12 W RGBW glow cells, and an 18 W central RGBW unit with a gobo slot—totaling 250 W of LED power for rich, dynamic effects. All electronics are onboard, allowing control via DMX (6 modes, 21–43 channels), RDM, optional W-DMX, or standalone macros. Whether hung on truss, mounted on a tripod, or placed on the floor, the Mantis delivers versatile ambience—from intimate studio shoots to large festival stages.
