Martin Exterior Single Dot RGB TIR Lens vs Martin ELP 26 Degree Static Lens Tube for Ellipsoidal Lights
The Exterior Dot-HP RGB is a compact, networked LED fixture for permanent outdoor architectural installations, while the ELP 26° lens tube is a replaceable optical component for existing Martin ellipsoidal theater lights. Choose the Dot-HP if you need a standalone RGB light for building facades; choose the ELP 26° if you already own ELP ellipsoidals and need a specific beam angle.

Frequently asked questions
Are these products compatible with each other?
No. The Exterior Dot-HP is a complete standalone RGB fixture for outdoor architectural use, while the ELP 26° is purely an optical lens tube designed only for Martin ELP ellipsoidal lights.
Which is better for touring theater?
The ELP 26° lens tube is designed for theater applications as a component within an ELP ellipsoidal fixture. The Exterior Dot-HP is built for permanent outdoor installations and architectural facades, not portable theater use.
Do either of these require external control systems?
The Exterior Dot-HP requires a Martin P3 System Controller or DMX protocol input for operation. The ELP 26° lens tube is passive optics and contains no electronics; it integrates into an existing ELP fixture that has its own control.
What is the key optical difference?
The Exterior Dot-HP uses a tight 22°×22° TIR lens optimized for distant facade visibility with very high candela output. The ELP 26° tube provides a wider 26° beam angle suited to mid-range theater throws and general venue coverage.
