Frequently asked questions
Which is better for projecting a company logo onto a building facade?
The Projection 500 is purpose-built for this; its gobo wheel, prisms, motorized focus, and DMX control deliver sharp, precise logo projection. The Wash 300 is a color and wash light, not an image projector.
Which offers more color control?
The Wash 300's RGBW system with 104 individual LEDs and tight color binning provides unlimited color mixing and ensures consistent hue across multiple fixtures. The Projection 500's 8-color wheel is more limited and designed to complement projection effects.
What beam-angle flexibility does each offer?
The Wash 300 ships with six interchangeable diffusers ranging from 7.5° to 65°, letting you swap coverage on site. The Projection 500 has a fixed 20-degree medium beam angle optimized for mid-range facade work; no diffuser swaps are available.
Which requires less on-site technical setup?
The Wash 300 has an integrated OLED display for immediate standalone control and auto-sensing power input (100–240 V / 277 V). The Projection 500 requires 13-channel DMX control and external equipment for full creative operation, though it offers more precision.
