Choose the Sceptron if you need pixel-mapped video content or camera-friendly LED color and brightness; choose the ELP 19 if you need a fixed-focal-length lens component for conventional theatrical lighting fixtures.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of show or application suits each product?
The Sceptron 10 excels in touring concerts, festivals, and productions requiring dynamic video content, pixel mapping, or broadcast-quality camera feeds. The ELP 19 suits traditional theater productions, concert key lighting, or front-of-house wash systems using conventional ellipsoidal fixtures where a fixed 19-degree beam is needed.
Do these products work together?
No. The Sceptron 10 is a standalone LED fixture with integrated control; the ELP 19 is a lens tube component that installs inside an existing ellipsoidal body to define its optics. They address different lighting architectures.
What is the learning curve for setup and control?
The Sceptron 10 requires familiarity with Martin's P3 System Controller or DMX protocol for addressing and video mapping, though it remains backward compatible with legacy DMX boards. The ELP 19 requires no learning curve—it is a passive optics component that screws into an ellipsoidal fixture body.
Which is better for a small theater or club?
If your venue uses traditional ellipsoidals and needs to replace or upgrade lens tubes, the ELP 19 is the component you need. If you want to add modern, color-capable LED video lighting to a smaller space, the Sceptron 10's compact form and PSU flexibility are advantageous, though it requires a control system or DMX console.
