Four indexing gobo rotators, a TriColor effect with independent colour flag control, 420 degrees of pan and 216 degrees of tilt, and a modular fast-service construction complete the package.

High End ShowGun 2.5 — buyer FAQs
What is the High End ShowGun 2.5 and what kind of output does it produce?
The High End ShowGun 2.5 is a large automated moving-head fixture built around a proprietary short arc lamp and optics that produce 130,000 lumens. It also carries an LED tracking ring delivering over 5,000 lumens of homogenously mixed RGB colour. The fixture offers 30 percent more photonic output than its predecessor, making it one of the higher-output automated fixtures in the High End range.
What colour mixing and beam control options does the ShowGun 2.5 offer?
The ShowGun 2.5 uses smooth CMY colour mixing for a continuous colour palette, alongside a TriColor effect with independent colour flag control. Beam shaping is handled by a variable iris, four indexing gobo rotators, variable soft-edge fully rotating lithos and a zoom range spanning 9 to 18 degrees. Full optical dimming to black, remote focus and an electronic strobe with Light Burst lamp boosting add further control.
What are the DMX and power requirements for running a second-hand ShowGun 2.5?
The ShowGun 2.5 requires a 200 to 240 volt AC supply via an auto-switching power supply and uses 30 DMX channels, addressed through a 5-pin XLR DMX connector. Pan movement covers 420 degrees and tilt covers 216 degrees. The fixture meets ETL and CE compliance standards. Anyone adding units to an existing rig should confirm venue power capacity, as the fixture's lamp and electronics draw is substantial.
Who makes the ShowGun 2.5 and where does it sit in their product range?
The ShowGun 2.5 is made by High End Systems, an American entertainment lighting manufacturer based in Austin, Texas, owned by Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC) since 2017. High End is known for automated moving fixtures and the Hog family of lighting control consoles. The ShowGun 2.5 sits at the high-output end of their automated fixture line, delivering 30 percent more photonic output than the earlier ShowGun.
What should I check when buying a used High End ShowGun 2.5?
Check that the short arc lamp has usable hours remaining, as lamp replacement is a significant running cost on high-output fixtures. Confirm all four gobo rotators index correctly, the CMY flags move without hesitation and the LED tracking ring produces even colour across the ring. Optical dimming, iris and zoom should run smoothly. The modular construction means service parts are accessible, but verify no modules are missing.
