Frequently asked questions
Can either fixture work outdoors?
The Exterior Wash 300 is rated IP66 and designed specifically for permanent outdoor and architectural lighting in extreme temperatures. The ERA 300 is an indoor/touring fixture; while it may survive brief outdoor use, it lacks weatherproofing and is not engineered for exposed environments.
Which is better for gobo work and image projection?
The ERA 300 Profile excels at gobo projection with two rotating gobo layers, sharp optical design, and flat field consistency for crisp theatrical images. The Exterior Wash 300 is a wash fixture with no gobo capability; it provides color mixing and beam shaping via diffusers only.
What's the key difference in color mixing?
The ERA 300 uses CMY (cyan-magenta-yellow) color mixing, which provides smooth pastel-to-vibrant color transitions ideal for stage lighting. The Exterior Wash 300 uses RGBW (red-green-blue-white) with individually binned Cree LEDs, optimized for consistent hue replication across multiple fixtures in architectural arrays.
Why is the Exterior Wash 300 listed as B-Stock?
B-Stock typically indicates open-box, display, or refurbished inventory. No defects are described; the fixture retains full professional specifications and warranty terms. Contact the store directly for specific condition details and return policy on this unit.
