Frequently asked questions
Which is better for outdoor touring?
Both handle outdoor work, but the ELP PAR IP is more versatile for touring because its zoom range lets you switch between tight spots and broad washes. The Wash Pro excels in dedicated outdoor wash roles where you don't need zoom and can benefit from its higher lumen output and superior weatherproofing (IP66 vs. IP65).
Can I use either one indoors?
Yes, both are professional-grade and rated for indoor use. The ELP PAR IP is more commonly deployed in studio and touring scenarios that mix indoor and outdoor venues. The Wash Pro is not ideal for small indoor studios due to its high output and outdoor-focused design.
Which produces more light?
The Exterior Wash Pro M QUAD delivers 3,700 lumens from 9 RGBW LEDs, while the ELP PAR IP outputs approximately 1,800 lumens from 7 × 40W RGBW engines. The Wash Pro is significantly brighter for wide-area coverage; the ELP PAR's zoom range compensates for tighter applications.
What's the difference in color tuning?
The Wash Pro ranges from 1000K to 12,500K with CRI >70, optimized for smooth color washes. The ELP PAR IP ranges from 1,800K to 12,850K with 48 presets and virtual color wheel effects, enabling faster preset-based color selection in live events. Both support professional color accuracy.
