Martin VC-Dot 4 LED String 2m Long
Description
Martin VC-Dot 4 LED String 2m Long
The VC-Dot 4 is a lightweight, individually controllable LED pixel string built for stage lighting rigs and live performance environments. Each dot combines four bright RGB LEDs in a compact 36 x 30 x 13 mm form factor, delivering calibrated color and intensity for dynamic stage visuals, video mapping, and creative lighting installations. The 2-meter lead-in cable and flexible string design make setup quick and intuitive while maintaining professional-grade reliability for touring and permanent installations.
Design & Build Quality
Constructed from clear polycarbonate housings with clear silicone filling, each pixel measures 36 x 30 x 13 mm and weighs just 1.8 kg for the full 64-dot string with 200 mm spacing. The optional white translucent polycarbonate diffuser dome expands the viewing angle to a full 180° x 180°, while the interconnecting cable uses 6 x 20 AWG construction rated IP67 for indoor and outdoor deployment. A minimum bend radius of 26 mm allows flexible routing through complex stage setups and lighting rigs without compromising durability.
Control & Performance
The VC-Dot 4 supports both the Martin P3 protocol via custom 8-pin IP67-rated connector and standalone DMX512 control, offering 16-bit (P3) or 8-bit (DMX) resolution with 3 channels per RGB dot. Four RGB LEDs per pixel deliver 6 candela of calibrated intensity and 18.8 lumens total output in calibrated mode, ensuring consistent color across the entire Martin LED ecosystem and fast, intuitive programming without complex addressing.
