Martin Exterior 1220 Color Temp Controlled Graze Medium
Description
Martin Exterior Linear 1220 Color Temp Controlled Graze, Medium
The Exterior Linear 1220 Graze is a weather-sealed LED fixture engineered for architectural lighting applications where precise color control and consistent output matter. Its compact 48-inch linear profile—just 2.8 inches wide and 13.3 lbs with bracket—mounts via hinged bracket for flexible positioning in studio sets, cyc rigs, and controlled environments. The narrow 17° beam angle delivers uniform light distribution ideal for achieving grazing effects and highlighting surface texture with minimal spill.
Optical Performance & Control
Powered by 3 W Cree XP-E2 LEDs rated for 50,000+ hours of operation, this fixture provides precise color control across the full spectrum from 2700 K warm white through 6500 K daylight. DMX and RDM connectivity enable remote intensity and color adjustment (0–100%) with 8-bit resolution per channel, allowing seamless integration into comprehensive lighting control systems and enabling real-time color matching during production.
Installation & System Integration
The integrated universal power supply (100–277 V, 50/60 Hz) eliminates the need for external control boxes—power and DMX data connect via a single hybrid connector, enabling daisy-chain runs up to 100 feet at 230 V for multi-unit setups. Rated IP66 for use in moisture-controlled studio environments and outdoor location work, it operates reliably in temperatures from –30° C to +45° C, with typical power consumption of only 20 W per foot, minimizing electrical load on studio circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the beam angle and what surfaces does it illuminate best?
The 17° Medium beam angle delivers narrow, uniform light distribution optimized for grazing textured surfaces and architectural details like walls, fences, and linear structures. This tight beam is ideal for accent lighting rather than broad area coverage.
How is it powered and controlled?
The fixture has an integrated universal power supply (100–277 V, 50/60 Hz) that connects via a single hybrid connector carrying both power and DMX512/RDM data. It supports daisy-chain runs up to 100 feet at 230 V, eliminating the need for external control boxes.
Is this suitable for outdoor use year-round?
Yes. The fixture is IP66-rated for full weather sealing and operates reliably in temperatures from –30° C to +45° C (–22° F to +113° F), making it suitable for permanent outdoor installations in most climates.
How much power does it consume, and what is the LED lifespan?
The fixture draws only 20 W per foot of length (approximately 13.3 lbs including bracket) and uses 3 W Cree XP-E2 LEDs rated for 50,000+ hours to 70% brightness, ensuring minimal electricity bills and infrequent maintenance.
What color temperatures and control options does it offer?
Full-spectrum color temperature control ranges from 2700 K (warm white) through 6500 K (daylight), with DMX and RDM support allowing 0–100% intensity adjustment and remote color mixing across 2 to 16 DMX channels depending on mode.
