Frequently asked questions
What is the key difference in light output between these fixtures?
The ELP WW IP delivers 7,000 lumens of concentrated warm white output at 3000K, designed for traditional spotlighting. The VC-Dot 4 outputs 18.8 lumens total per RGB pixel (four LEDs per dot), designed for addressable color effects rather than general wash or spot coverage.
Which is better for outdoor use?
Both are weather-rated: the VC-Dot 4 has IP67-rated connectors and silicone-filled construction for wet environments, while the ELP WW IP offers IP65 compliance and C3 corrosion resistance. The VC-Dot 4 suits façade and environmental lighting; the ELP WW IP suits temporary outdoor stage and theatrical applications.
Can either fixture be controlled via DMX?
The VC-Dot 4 supports DMX512 control with 8-bit resolution and 3 channels per RGB dot for synchronized pixel effects. The ELP WW IP is a warm white fixture with no RGB control—it uses traditional dimming and focus adjustment, not addressable pixel mapping.
Which requires a control protocol and which works standalone?
The VC-Dot 4 requires either Martin P3 or DMX512 control to operate individually addressable pixels. The ELP WW IP functions as a traditional ellipsoidal with manual focus and standard theater dimmer control, requiring no specialized video mapping software.
