Description
Martin Era 150 Wash - White
The Martin Era 150 Wash is a compact yet powerful LED wash light built for live production recording, theater documentation, and mid-sized venue capture. Its lightweight frame and intuitive control layout enable quick integration into mobile or fixed studio setups, while the robust optical engine delivers professional-grade output without excessive heat or power draw—critical for controlled recording environments.
Optical Performance & Output
This fixture generates 3,900 lumens of output driven by seven 40W Osram LEDs in RGBW configuration, achieving peak intensity of up to 397,783 candelas at its narrowest beam angle. The 4.2° to 58° zoom range provides flexibility from tight key lighting to broad ambient wash, making it suitable for both dramatic accent work and general scene illumination across varying recording distances and camera perspectives.
Color Control & Flexibility
The fixture offers extensive color manipulation through its 1,800 to 10,000 K color temperature range, 48 integrated color presets, and virtual color wheel effects for intuitive mixing and scene programming. These tools allow operators to achieve consistent color palettes across multiple fixtures or execute dynamic color shifts for multi-camera production work, streamlining color correction in post-production workflows.
