Frequently asked questions
Which is better for touring productions?
The ERA 600 Profile is purpose-built for touring with lightweight, modular construction and no lamp maintenance. The Viper Wash DX, while powerful, requires lamp restrike capability and is better suited to permanent venues or well-equipped touring rigs.
Can either fixture project custom gobo images?
The ERA 600 Profile includes 14 rotating and 8 static gobos for detailed projection and image work. The Viper Wash DX is a wash fixture without gobo capability, designed for color and beam shaping rather than image projection.
Which produces more light output?
The MAC Viper Wash DX produces 33,000 lumens compared to the ERA 600 Profile's 19,000 lumens. The Viper Wash DX is significantly brighter for long-throw wash applications.
What are the maintenance differences?
The ERA 600 Profile uses LED with no lamp replacement or restrike needed. The Viper Wash DX uses a 1000-watt arc lamp requiring periodic replacement and restrike capability, which demands more technical infrastructure.
