Frequently asked questions
Can either fixture work outdoors?
The MAC One is not ideal for outdoor high-brightness applications and lacks weatherproofing. The Exterior Wash Pro XL QUAD is purpose-built for outdoor use with IP66 waterproofing and C5 corrosion resistance for coastal environments.
Which is better for touring productions?
The MAC One is designed for touring rigs, with compact dimensions, minimal thermal footprint, and low power draw (0.8–1.6 A). The Exterior Wash Pro XL QUAD is a fixed or semi-permanent installation light, not suited for frequent transport.
What are the key optical differences?
The MAC One produces 2,500 lumens with a tight 375,000 cd beam for precision long-throw key lighting via a 4–27° zoom Fresnel. The Exterior Wash Pro XL QUAD uses 25 RGBW LEDs with fixed 8-degree beam angles designed for broad wash coverage and architectural color effects.
Which requires less infrastructure support?
The MAC One draws minimal power (0.8–1.6 A) and operates nearly silently, fitting into modest touring power and cooling budgets. The Exterior Wash Pro XL QUAD is stationary and requires permanent outdoor mounting but does not specify power draw or noise ratings.
