Frequently asked questions
What's the main operational difference between these two?
The White operates as a standalone fixture with built-in presets and manual dimming curves, while the IP B-Stock integrates into DMX control networks via dual XLR connectors and requires external console control. The White is faster to deploy without a control console; the IP B-Stock is essential for coordinated multi-fixture shows.
Which has better brightness for large outdoor venues?
The IP B-Stock delivers 329,058 candela intensity compared to the White's 3,500 lumens spec alone, making it better suited for long-throw applications and large outdoor deployments. Both share the same 7×40W LED engine, but the IP B-Stock emphasizes distance throw.
Do both work in wet or dusty environments?
Yes, both carry an IP65 protection rating, protecting against dust and water ingress for outdoor rigs, humid venues, and touring deployments exposed to the elements.
Can I use these together in the same rig?
Technically yes, but they operate differently—the White works standalone while the IP B-Stock needs DMX control, so mixing them requires managing two control philosophies. They're better suited to separate rigs unless you add a DMX console to manage both.
