Frequently asked questions
Which fixture is better for outdoor architectural lighting on building facades?
The Martin Exterior 320 is purpose-built for architectural grazing, with a narrow asymmetric beam that highlights texture and detail while an IP66/C5-M rating handles marine and corrosive environments. The Atomic Dot CLD is an entertainment/effects fixture without the corrosion rating or specialized beam geometry for architectural wash.
Which fixture suits touring and nightclub applications?
The Martin Atomic Dot CLD is designed for touring, corporate events, nightclubs, and broadcast with 3350 lumens in strobe mode, pixel-controllable RGB, and a compact 2.2 kg weight with interlocking rigging. The Exterior 320 is optimized for permanent installations and lacks the strobe intensity and RGB effects needed for dynamic live entertainment.
What is the key optical difference between these fixtures?
The Exterior 320 uses a narrow asymmetric beam (70° × 12.5°) for precise horizontal wash and texture grazing; the Atomic Dot CLD delivers a tight 11° spot via a 95 mm lens for punchy, long-throw effects. The Atomic Dot CLD also includes 16 RGB LEDs for color effects, while the Exterior 320 offers tunable white (2700K–6500K) only.
How do their control systems differ?
The Exterior 320 uses integrated DMX with RDM for direct line-voltage control without external boxes; the Atomic Dot CLD supports P3, DMX, Art-Net, and sACN with hybrid power/data connectors for daisy-chaining across large rigs. The Atomic Dot CLD is more suited to networked touring systems, while the Exterior 320 simplifies permanent architectural installations.
