Frequently asked questions
Are the optical and weatherproofing specs identical between these two?
Yes. Both feature the same 130W 7500K LED producing 4,700 lumens, identical motorized focus (3m to infinity), 15–45° zoom range, IP66 rating, IK08 impact resistance, C5 corrosion protection, cast aluminum housing, and 5mm anti-reflection glass. The only substantive difference is color finish and positioning.
Which is better for touring live events or temporary outdoor installations?
The Grey model explicitly lists live performance and temporary event deployments as best uses, suggesting it's marketed with that portability and flexibility in mind, though both are physically identical fixtures.
Can both be controlled the same way?
The Grey model mentions 11 configurable options with motorized control via magnetic switch, DMX, RDM, and Martin Companion app. The Black specification excerpt cuts off but references the same motorized zoom and focus system, implying comparable control—verify full Black control specifications with retailer documentation.
Which suits architectural facade projection better?
The Black model is specifically positioned for architectural projection and building facades. Both have identical optical output, but the Black's marketing context and color choice make it the explicit choice for that application.
