Frequently asked questions
Which fixture is better for projecting a company logo onto a building?
The Projection 500 is designed for image projection with a rotating gobo wheel and motorized focus, making it the clear choice for logo projection and precision framing. The Wash 300 cannot project images; it only delivers color-mixed illumination.
What's the difference in color control between these two?
The Projection 500 uses an 8-color wheel for discrete color selection, while the Wash 300 uses RGBW color mixing with 104 total Cree LEDs for smooth, continuous color blending. The Wash 300 offers more nuanced color transitions; the Projection 500 prioritizes image clarity and effects.
Which one covers larger areas more effectively?
The Wash 300 offers a 65° wide asymmetric beam option ideal for broad facade coverage, whereas the Projection 500's 20-degree medium beam is optimized for mid-range, focused applications. For full-building washes, the Wash 300 is more flexible with its six interchangeable diffuser options.
Do both fixtures handle coastal and industrial environments equally?
Both carry IP66 protection for rain and dust. The Projection 500 adds C5-M corrosion resistance specifically rated for harsh coastal and industrial environments, making it the more durable choice in severe salt-air or pollution-heavy locations.
