Frequently asked questions
What's the main durability difference?
The ELP PAR IP carries an IP65 protection rating, meaning it can operate reliably in rain, dust, and humidity. The standard ELP PAR lacks this rating and is designed for dry indoor venues and controlled studio environments.
How do brightness and throw distance compare?
Both produce approximately 3,350–3,500 lumens and use identical 7 × 40W RGBW LED engines. The ELP PAR IP specifies 329,058 candela intensity for superior long-throw projection; the standard ELP PAR does not publish candela, suggesting lower peak intensity.
Which power connectors should I use?
The ELP PAR uses Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1 TOP connectors, which support daisy-chaining. The ELP PAR IP uses NAC3FX-W TOP, a professional touring standard that requires compatible cable infrastructure but is common in large production rigs.
Are the color and zoom ranges the same?
Yes. Both offer identical motorized zoom (5.5° to 50°), variable color temperature (1800K to 12,850K), and RGBW color mixing with presets and virtual color wheel effects.
