What makes the MAC Ultra Wash different from other LED wash lights?

The MAC Ultra Wash delivers 63,500 lumens of output with a proprietary 1150 W, 5800 K LED engine featuring higher red content for richer colors and natural skin tones. Its 1:10 zoom range (6.8° to 47.5° beam angles) covers everything from tight spotting to broad washes, and the ultra-quiet cooling system makes it suitable for noise-sensitive broadcast and theater environments.

How long will the light engine last, and what warranty is included?

The MAC Ultra Wash is rated for 50,000+ hours of operation with over 90 percent output retention after 20,000 hours of full-output use. Martin includes a 5-year warranty on the light engine, ensuring consistent performance and color stability show after show.

What control protocols and connectivity options does it support?

The fixture supports DMX, RDM, Art-Net, sACN, and Martin P3 protocols via XLR, Neutrik TRUE1, and etherCON connectivity. It offers 29 DMX channels with 16-bit precision control and includes a backlit LCD display with battery operation for standalone programming.

Is the fixture easy to rig and position in a tight space?

Yes—the MAC Ultra Wash features patented yoke handles for superior ergonomics and safe handling, and uses a compact industrial design with 4.17 inch center-to-center omega bracket mounting points. All connectors and controls are positioned on a single side to preserve clean sightlines for set designers and lighting technicians.

Can this fixture handle high trim heights and long throw distances?

The MAC Ultra Wash is specifically engineered for long throws and high trim applications. Its 220 mm front lens and 1:10 zoom ratio deliver the punch and throw distance needed for large stages and venues without losing output or color consistency across the entire zoom range.

Martin MAC Ultra Wash LED Moving Head

The MAC Ultra Wash is Martin's brightest wash light to date, engineered as a pure workhorse for live recording, broadcast capture, theater documentation, and large-scale performance production. Its compact industrial design incorporates patented yoke handles for superior ergonomics and safe handling, while all connectors and controls are positioned on a single side to preserve clean sightlines for camera operators and lighting technicians. Ultra-quiet operation via sophisticated cooling systems makes this fixture equally suited to noise-sensitive broadcast and recording environments where microphone bleed must be minimized.

Output & Optical Performance

The 1150 W, 5800 K proprietary LED light engine delivers a phenomenal 63,500 lumens from a 220 mm front lens, maintaining consistent brightness across the entire zoom range for even key light and fill wash in multi-camera sessions. A 1:10 zoom ratio (6.8° to 47.5° beam angles, 9° to 62° field zoom) ensures the punch needed for distance fill on large sets and high ceiling applications—no studio height or throw distance is too challenging for this fixture.

Color Quality & Lifetime Reliability

The light engine's higher red content and daylight-balanced color temperature deliver richer, more vivid colors and natural skin tones across all lighting setups, critical for consistent performance capture. Rated for 50,000+ hours of operation with output retention exceeding 90 percent after 20,000 hours of full-output use, the MAC Ultra Wash provides rock-solid stability and predictable performance session after session. Martin backs this with a 5-year warranty on the light engine.
