Frequently asked questions
Which fixture is brighter?
The Martin ELP PAR produces 3,500 lumens from its 7 x 40W RGBW array, making it significantly brighter than the Exterior Wash Pro S QUAD, which is optimized for mid-throw architectural washing rather than long-throw venue projection.
Which one is better for outdoor touring?
The Exterior Wash Pro S QUAD offers superior corrosion resistance (C5 rating, IP66 protection, IK08 impact rating) for harsh outdoor environments, while the ELP PAR is lighter and faster to set up but lacks the same environmental hardening. Both support touring, but the Wash Pro S QUAD is engineered for extreme outdoor durability.
What are the key control differences?
The Exterior Wash Pro S QUAD supports DMX, RDM, and standalone operation with 20 scenes, while the ELP PAR uses standard DMX via Neutrik 5-pin XLR and PowerCON connectors with AC mains power. The ELP PAR offers 48 factory presets and a virtual color wheel; the Wash Pro S QUAD relies on manual scene programming.
Can I zoom with either fixture?
The ELP PAR includes motorized zoom from 5.5° to 50°, making it highly flexible for different throw distances. The Exterior Wash Pro S QUAD has a fixed 8-degree beam and relies on optional micro lenses or baffle snoots for beam adjustment, making it less versatile for variable throw distances.
