Description
Martin ERA 150 Wash
The Martin ERA 150 Wash is a compact, high-output LED wash light engineered for theater, live events, and touring applications where precise color control and quiet operation matter. Its lightweight aluminum construction and intuitive pan/tilt mechanics make it comfortable to mount and aim, while the full-gamut color system delivers saturated hues across a wide color temperature range. This is a workhorse fixture—reliable, efficient, and built to handle demanding technical riders.
Light Output & Color Performance
The 7 × 40W RGBW LED array produces 3,900 lumens with an intensity of 397,783 candelas, delivering even field coverage from throw distances typical of mid-sized venues. Color temperature control from 1,800–12,850 K combined with full-gamut color calibration ensures whites stay true and saturated colors remain vibrant—no unwanted color shift or desaturation at extreme angles.
Control & Integration
Native DMX/RDM support over 18 channels (USITT DMX512-A and ANSI/ESTA E1.20 compliant) integrates seamlessly into any lighting console or wireless system, while 16-bit fine pan/tilt control enables smooth tracking and precise cue execution. The fixture runs whisper-quiet at 33 dB in Theatre Mode, eliminating fan noise in sensitive recording or theater environments.
