Frequently asked questions
What is the key optical difference between these two diffusers?
The Round Diffuser provides a 260-degree viewing angle for wide, uniform wash coverage at mid-to-close range, while the Flat Diffuser offers a 160-degree viewing angle better suited for general stage illumination with some beam definition retained.
Which diffuser is better for touring applications?
The Round Diffuser is specifically rated for touring and live performance use, featuring a field-exchangeable design that allows technicians to swap diffusers on-site without breaking down the fixture. The Flat Diffuser does not mention touring-specific design features.
Do these diffusers require any additional power or wiring?
No. Both are passive polycarbonate components that clip directly onto compatible VDO Sceptron fixtures without requiring power consumption, wiring, or permanent installation.
Are both diffusers the same physical size?
Yes, both are 1000mm (39.4 inches) in length, designed to match the full width of VDO Sceptron batten fixtures. The difference is purely in their optical characteristics and beam spread angles.
