Frequently asked questions
Can either fixture be used outdoors?
The Exterior Wash 300 is rated IP66 for permanent outdoor deployment in harsh conditions with −30° C to +45° C operating range. The MAC Aura XB is designed for touring and live venues but is not specified as weatherproof; it suits temporary outdoor setups rather than permanent exposure.
What's the key difference in how they're controlled?
The MAC Aura XB uses DMX/RDM protocols to integrate into lighting consoles and systems, supporting 14-channel or 25-channel modes. The Exterior Wash 300 includes an integrated OLED display for direct on-site control without requiring external equipment or a lighting console.
Which produces more light output?
The MAC Aura XB is rated at 6000 lumens with a zoom range of 10° to 60°. The Exterior Wash 300 specifications do not list a single lumens figure; instead it specifies 26 red, 28 green, 22 blue, and 28 white Cree LEDs with tight binning for consistent output, making direct lumens comparison impossible from the provided data.
Can I use multiple fixtures together and have them match in color?
The Exterior Wash 300 uses tight color and flux binning on its Cree LEDs to ensure consistent hue and output across multiple fixtures. The MAC Aura XB offers precise color mixing with variable color temperature control (2,500–10,000 K) but does not specify binning consistency across units, making it better suited to single-unit or console-managed multi-fixture applications.
