Description
Martin ELP PAR - White
The Martin ELP PAR is a compact, lightweight LED par fixture engineered for studio productions, post-production color grading, and video content workflows where reliable color mixing and consistent output are essential. Its ergonomic mounting design and passive cooling system make it straightforward to rig and operate in controlled studio environments. This white version delivers consistent photometric performance across a wide range of color temperatures and dimming scenarios.
Light Output & Optics
Seven 40W RGBW LEDs generate 3,500 lumens of output, sufficient for key lighting, fill lighting, and creative color effects in mid-sized production spaces. The 5.5 to 50-degree zoom range provides flexibility from tight spotlighting to broad washes, allowing precise beam control and even illumination without mechanical refocusing during recording sessions.
Control & Workflow Integration
Full RGBW color mixing with 48 color presets and a virtual color wheel enables rapid color setup and real-time adjustments during production. The fixture carries an IP65 rating, protecting against dust and accidental water exposure—important for studio durability and long-term reliability. 16-bit dimming with four selectable curves and integrated strobe/pulse effects provides smooth intensity transitions and dynamic effects without external controllers, streamlining session setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does IP65 rating mean for outdoor and venue use?
IP65 protects against dust and water ingress, making the fixture safe for outdoor rigs, rainy festivals, and humid indoor venues without risk of component failure or electrical hazard. The forced-air cooling system keeps the fixture below 65°C even under continuous operation.
Can I control color and brightness without a separate controller?
Yes. The fixture includes 48 color presets, a virtual color wheel, and 16-bit dimming with four selectable curves, strobe, and pulse effects built into the unit—no external controller required for basic operation. Real-time adjustments and scene programming are possible via its onboard interface.
What is the brightness output and beam coverage?
Seven 40W RGBW LEDs produce 3,500 lumens total, sufficient for mid-sized venues and arena side-light applications. The 5.5–50-degree zoom range lets you tighten to a tight spot or open to a broad wash without mechanical refocusing.
How much does it weigh and how does it mount?
The fixture weighs 9.1 kg and mounts via a truss-mount yoke with omega bracket connectivity, making it straightforward to rig into standard touring rigging. Dimensions are 312 x 287 x 401 mm, compact enough for touring trucks and fixed installations.
What color temperature range does the CTC (Color Temperature Control) cover?
Color temperature control spans 1,800K to 12,850K, providing warm tungsten tones through cool daylight-balanced output—useful for matching existing venue lighting or creating consistent color across multiple fixtures.
