Martin Exterior Single Dot Cool White TIR Lens vs Martin ELP 36 Degree Static Lens Tube for Ellipsoidal Lights
The Exterior Single Dot is a fixed-output architectural wash for outdoor facades and perimeter lighting, while the ELP 36° is a swappable lens tube component for theater and event ellipsoidal fixtures. Choose the Exterior Dot for permanent building accent work; choose the ELP lens tube if you already own Martin ELP ellipsoidal profiles and need a medium-throw lens option.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the ELP 36° lens tube outdoors?
The ELP 36° lens tube is designed for theater, broadcast, and live event use in professional venues. It is not specified as IP-rated or corrosion-resistant, making it unsuitable for permanent outdoor installation. The Exterior Single Dot is the proper choice for outdoor architectural applications.
What's the key difference in how these products work?
The Exterior Single Dot is a complete, self-contained fixture that mounts permanently and produces fixed output via DMX control. The ELP 36° is only a lens tube component that must be mounted inside an existing Martin ELP ellipsoidal fixture body to function.
Which is brighter, and which throws farther?
The Exterior Single Dot outputs 260 lumens (non-calibrated) with a 22° tight beam designed for long-distance facade visibility. The ELP 36° lens tube is designed for medium-throw stage distances but does not publish lumen or candela specs; its brightness depends on the host ellipsoidal fixture's lamp.
Do I need special control equipment for either?
The Exterior Single Dot requires DMX/RDM capability or a Martin P3 System Controller to operate. The ELP 36° is a passive optical component with no electronic control; it simply mounts into an ELP fixture that already has control electronics.
