Martin Martin Elp Par B-Stock vs Martin Martin Elp Par Ip B-Stock
Both are professional LED pars with nearly identical light engines, but the ELP PAR IP adds IP65 weatherproofing and higher candela intensity (329,058 cd vs. unspecified), making it the choice for outdoor and harsh-environment touring. The standard ELP PAR suits indoor venues and controlled installations where ruggedness against dust and moisture is less critical.
No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.

Frequently asked questions
What is the real-world brightness difference between these two?
The ELP PAR IP outputs 3,350 lumens versus the ELP PAR's 3,500 lumens—nearly identical in general brightness. However, the IP's 329,058 candela intensity allows tighter, longer-distance spotting, making it superior for large venues and outdoor throws.
Why does the ELP PAR IP cost more if the lumen output is slightly lower?
The IP65 weatherproofing, higher candela specification, and NAC3FX-W TOP power connector (a touring standard) justify the premium for productions that demand outdoor durability and long-throw capability.
Can I use either fixture outdoors?
Only the ELP PAR IP is rated for outdoor use. Its IP65 protection shields electronics and optics from rain, dust, and humidity. The standard ELP PAR lacks this rating and is designed for indoor venues.
Are the color mixing and control features identical?
Yes. Both units feature 7 × 40W RGBW LEDs, 1800K–12,850K color temperature range, motorized 5.5°–50° zoom, and DMX control via 5-pin XLR. The only functional difference is weatherproofing and throw distance.
