Martin ERA 800 Compact Moving Head CMY Color Mixing Light
Description
Martin ERA 800 Profile Compact Moving Head CMY Color Mixing Light
The ERA 800 Profile brings professional-grade lighting firepower to any stage setup in a compact, tour-ready footprint. Its efficient 800 W LED engine produces 34,000 lumens of crisp, even light with a flat field across the entire zoom range, while the modular design allows fast effect swaps in under a minute—essential for tight changeovers between sets or multi-venue runs.
Light Output & Optical Performance
The 800 W, 6,500 K LED source outperforms comparable fixtures in its class, with fully electronic dimming for instant intensity control and ultra-fast strobing down to zero percent. The 160 mm front lens and 1:8 zoom range (7° to 56°) maintain consistent, high output across the entire focal range, making this fixture equally effective for stadium-scale productions or precision close work on smaller stages.
Color & Effects Capability
Dual rotating gobo wheels plus a static wheel provide access to 12 rotating/indexing gobos and 7 static gobos, all from Martin's renowned MAC range, with dual prisms (4-facet and linear) for dynamic morphing and animation effects. Full CMY color mixing with variable CTO control enables seamless transitions from daylight to tungsten color temperatures, plus soft and heavy frost options for wash effects and gobo softening.

At a Glance
The Martin ERA 800 is a compact, 800 W LED moving head that delivers 34,000 lumens of arena-class light output with CMY color mixing, dual gobo wheels, and dual prisms—built for touring and large-venue productions where reliability and fast setup matter. Road crews and live-sound techs choose it for consistent output across its entire 1:8 zoom range, tool-free gobo swaps in under a minute, and the stable LED engine that eliminates lamp color shift and aging across a run. The flat field, 540° pan, and variable CTO (6,500 K to 2,700 K) make it equally at home on stadium stages, outdoor festivals, or precision close-work applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
This product is not listed as B-Stock; it is new.
How much light output does the ERA 800 deliver, and what color temperature is it?
The 800 W LED engine produces 34,000 lumens at 6,500 K (daylight), with variable CTO control to shift down to 2,700 K (tungsten) as needed. CRI is greater than 70, ensuring accurate color rendering.
Can I swap gobos and effects quickly during a show?
Yes—the modular design allows full gobo and effect module swaps in under 60 seconds, with no tools required. The fixture includes 12 rotating/indexing gobos and 7 static gobos from Martin's MAC range, plus dual prisms (4-facet and linear) for dynamic effects.
What zoom range and pan/tilt movement does it offer?
The 1:8 zoom ratio spans 7° to 56°, with a flat, consistent light field across the entire range. Pan rotation is 540° and tilt is 260°, providing flexible positioning for stadium and venue applications.
How reliable is the LED engine over long runs?
The 800 W LED source is rated for 20,000+ hour minimum lifetime with electronically stable output that does not age or shift color over time, eliminating the maintenance and color drift issues of traditional lamps. Full dimming down to zero percent and ultra-fast strobing are electronically controlled for consistent, instant response.
