Martin VDO Sceptron Tube Smoked Diffuser 320mm
Description
Martin VDO Sceptron Tube Smoked Diffuser 320mm
This optical accessory mounts directly to the VDO Sceptron 320mm LED fixture to shape and soften its light output. The smoked polycarbonate construction diffuses the fixture's pixel-mapped RGBW beam into a more uniform wash, reducing hot spots and creating a smoother visual field across venue spaces. Essential for sound engineers and lighting technicians who need refined beam control without sacrificing the Sceptron's compact footprint.
Optical Design & Coverage
The 180-degree viewing angle distributes diffused light across a wide area, making it ideal for mid-throw applications and general venue washes. The smoked polycarbonate material maintains optical clarity while reducing intensity peaks, allowing the underlying RGBW color mixing to read evenly across the throw distance.
Integration & Compatibility
Designed specifically for the VDO Sceptron 320mm Series, this diffuser integrates seamlessly without requiring additional adapters or modifications. Installation is straightforward, allowing rapid fixture configuration changes between pixel-mapped effects and diffused wash modes on multi-fixture rigs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this diffuser do to the Sceptron 320mm's output?
It transforms the fixture's discrete pixel-mapped RGBW beam into a uniform, soft wash by reducing hot spots and distributing light evenly across a 180-degree viewing angle. The smoked polycarbonate material maintains full color mixing while softening intensity peaks, ideal for mid-throw applications and general venue washes.
Is this compatible with other Martin LED fixtures?
No—this diffuser is designed specifically for the VDO Sceptron 320mm Series and integrates seamlessly without adapters or modifications. It mounts directly to the 320mm tube with tool-free installation.
Can I use this for precise spotting or pixel mapping effects?
This diffuser is best suited for uniform wash and soft diffusion applications. It is not recommended for tight beam spotting or pixel mapping effects, as its design prioritizes even light distribution over beam precision.
How quickly can I switch between pixel mode and diffused wash?
The tool-free mounting design allows rapid configuration changes on multi-fixture rigs, so you can swap between pixel-mapped effects and diffused wash modes without downtime.
