Choose the 36° for distant positioning or precise spotting; choose the 50° for closer throws or when you need more light spread.

Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two lenses?
The 36° has a narrower, more focused beam ideal for longer throws, while the 50° has a wider beam angle better for shorter throws and broader coverage. Both are static (non-zoom) and work with Martin ELP and ELP IP fixtures.
Which one is brighter?
The 50° is engineered with superior output in its wider beam angle, making it brighter across a larger area. The 36° concentrates light in a tighter spot, appearing more intense in that narrower beam.
Can I use either lens on the same fixture?
Yes, both lenses are compatible with Martin ELP and ELP IP ellipsoidal fixtures and mount directly without adapters. You can swap between them depending on your throw distance and coverage needs.
Which is better for gobo projection?
Both deliver crisp image projection, but the 36° excels at precise, detailed gobo definition from distance, while the 50° is better for larger gobo images at closer throws.
