Frequently asked questions
Which is better for a large outdoor festival or arena tour?
The MAC Viper Wash with its 33,000 lumens and 1000-watt lamp delivers the brightness and throw needed for large outdoor and arena environments. The ERA 600's 19,000 lumens are suitable for medium venues but will fall short for wide-throw applications requiring maximum saturation at distance.
Can I project sharp gobos or images with either fixture?
Only the ERA 600 has gobo wheels; the MAC Viper Wash is strictly a wash fixture without gobo capability. If sharp image projection is a requirement, the ERA 600 is the only choice between these two.
Which requires less maintenance and has lower operating costs?
The ERA 600's LED engine eliminates lamp replacement, cooling demands, and color stability drift over thousands of hours. The MAC Viper Wash's 1000-watt lamp will require periodic replacement and generates significant heat, raising total cost of ownership in high-use environments.
How do these compare in physical footprint and weight for touring?
The MAC Viper Wash is compact at 473 mm wide and 33 kg, while the ERA 600 is described as compact and modular but specifications for weight and exact dimensions are not detailed. Both are designed for touring, though the Viper's stated specs confirm its practical tour-rigging efficiency.
