Frequently asked questions
Which is better for outdoor architectural lighting?
The Exterior 1200 is purpose-built for outdoor cove installations with IP66/IK08 ratings and C5-M corrosion protection. The VC-Dot 9 supports outdoor use but is optimized for creative video mapping rather than uniform ambient coverage.
Can I do pixel-mapped video on either fixture?
The VC-Dot 9 is specifically designed for LED video mapping with individually addressable pixels via P3 or DMX. The Exterior 1200 is a fixed four-channel (RGBW) color mixer with no per-pixel control.
What control systems do they require?
The Exterior 1200 needs only DMX512 connectivity and line voltage with no external boxes. The VC-Dot 9 works with Martin P3 System Controller for easy mapping or RDM/DMX for simple lighting, offering more control flexibility.
Which is easier to install?
The Exterior 1200 mounts directly into coves via its hinged bracket with minimal setup. The VC-Dot 9 is a flexible string that requires custom length and pixel-pitch configuration before installation, suited for more complex creative projects.
