Frequently asked questions
What is the main optical difference between these fixtures?
The Pro-Cove has a 100-degree beam angle for concentrated wash coverage, while the Pro-DV has a 180-degree beam angle with a round diffuser for broader, more uniform light distribution suitable for direct-view installations.
Which fixture is better for DMX-controlled architectural installations?
The Pro-DV QUAD is specifically designed for this use case, offering flexible DMX addressing with 6, 4, 3, 12, or 24 channel modes, segment-level control, and full RDM compliance for seamless integration into standard lighting control systems.
Do both fixtures have the same LED configuration?
Both feature 32 × 1.5W RGBW LEDs (8 per foot) with color temperature range 1800K to 12000K, homogenized color mixing, and efficiency exceeding 50 lm/W. The Pro-DV specifies a 50,000-hour LED lifetime, while the Pro-Cove does not state this specification.
Which is better for energy-conscious installations?
The Pro-Cove QUAD offers three selectable power consumption modes (12W, 10W, 5W per foot) for flexible energy management, while the Pro-DV QUAD does not specify selectable power modes, making the Pro-Cove more adaptable for varying power budgets.
