The Martin ELP WW IP is a fixed warm-white (3000K) ellipsoidal optimized for color accuracy and simplicity, while the Martin ELP CL IP is a full-color variable fixture with RGBAL mixing for broader creative control. Choose the WW IP for traditional theater work prioritizing warm tones and 97 CRI purity; choose the CL IP for productions needing flexible color temperature, dynamic color mixing, or both warm and cool white output from one fixture.

Frequently asked questions
Which is brighter?
The ELP WW IP reaches 7,000 lumens at its native 3000K, while the ELP CL IP reaches 6,900 lumens in High Output mode at 6,000K. The difference is marginal; output varies slightly by color temperature and mode selection on the CL IP.
Can I use the CL IP for traditional theater?
Yes—the CL IP can be set to 3000K or 2000–4000K warm white with 90 CRI in High Quality mode. However, the WW IP's fixed 97 CRI ensures marginally better color accuracy for classical theater work if that is your only use case.
Do both have the gear-focused mechanism?
Both feature Martin's industry-first gear-driven Fine Focus mechanism that locks precisely and prevents drift. This is a shared advantage that distinguishes both from conventional ellipsoidals.
Which handles outdoor use better?
Both meet IP65 compliance and C3 corrosion resistance for temporary outdoor deployment. The choice depends on whether you need fixed warm tones (WW IP) or color flexibility (CL IP) in that environment.
