Frequently asked questions
What is the practical difference in throw distance between these two lens tubes?
The 26° lens tube concentrates light for longer throw distances and more narrow spotting. The 36° lens tube spreads light wider, making it better suited for shorter to mid-range throws where broader stage coverage is needed. Your specific venue throw distance determines which angle is most appropriate.
Are both lens tubes compatible with the same fixtures?
Yes, both the 26° and 36° lens tubes are fully compatible with Martin ELP and Martin ELP IP ellipsoidal fixtures, allowing you to swap between them based on production needs.
Which lens tube should I choose for a standard theater stage?
