Martin VDO Sceptron XB Graze Lens 1000mm vs Martin VDO Sceptron XB Glare Shield 1000mm
The Graze Lens redirects output into a wide, controlled beam for architectural and surface accent lighting, while the Glare Shield reduces unwanted spill and glare without changing beam direction. Choose the Graze Lens for deliberate grazing effects on vertical surfaces; choose the Glare Shield for camera-friendly environments where you need to control or hide the direct LED output.
No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.

Frequently asked questions
Are these accessories mutually exclusive or can they be used together?
The product descriptions indicate these are separate optical solutions designed for different purposes. The Graze Lens redirects beam shape for grazing effects, while the Glare Shield reduces spill from the existing beam. Compatibility for simultaneous use is not stated in the provided information.
Which accessory is better for general theatrical wash lighting?
Neither is ideal for that application. The Graze Lens is explicitly not recommended for general-purpose wash lighting. The Glare Shield is designed for spill control rather than wash functions. Both are specialized accessories best suited to their specific design purposes.
Do these accessories work with standard lighting control protocols?
The Graze Lens supports Art Net and sACN protocols plus Martin's P3 System Controller. The Glare Shield description does not detail control protocol compatibility, only that it maintains the fixture's core color-mixing and intensity capabilities when installed.
What skill level is required to install and use each accessory?
The Graze Lens is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional users working in architectural, theatrical, and video mapping contexts. The Glare Shield requires no tools and is described for broadcasters and studios, suggesting a broader skill range can operate it effectively.
