Frequently asked questions

Which is better for outdoor daytime events?

The CLD's 6000K daylight-balanced output is engineered to cut through sunlight and ambient light without color shift, making it ideal for outdoor festivals and daytime venue installations. The WRM's 3000K warm tone performs better indoors and under controlled lighting conditions.

Which one is camera-friendly for broadcast and video?

The WRM is explicitly designed for flicker-free output that plays cleanly on camera and in high-speed video capture, making it the choice for theatre productions and broadcast work. The CLD's cooler 6000K tone can appear harsh on video and is optimized for live visibility rather than camera rendering.

Are the framing and gobo systems the same?

Both units feature ±55° rotatable framing blades and 5-position interchangeable gobo wheels with the same mechanical precision. The key difference is the color temperature and beam quality, not the mechanical framing system.

What is the actual power output difference?

Both units deliver 468W of LED output. The difference is color temperature: the CLD uses cool white (6000K) while the WRM uses warm white (3000K), affecting tone and application rather than brightness.
