Martin Martin Era Manet 8F
Description
ELP Manet 8f LED Fresnel Fixture
The ELP Manet 8f is a professional-grade LED fresnel delivering consistent, high-output illumination for studio key light, fill, and creative lighting applications. Its compact form factor and intuitive control interface integrate seamlessly into fixed studio setups and mobile recording rigs, while the advanced color engine handles everything from precise tungsten simulation to full-spectrum creative lighting for on-camera talent, product shoots, and post-production lighting design.
Light Output & Color Control
The fixture produces 13,100 lumens in high-output mode, sufficient for studio key light and fill applications in mid-to-large recording spaces. The six-color LED engine (red, green, blue, amber, lime, cyan) combined with color temperature control from 1,850 K to 12,500 K in 50 K increments enables seamless transitions between warm tungsten tones and cool daylight without color shifts or mechanical filter scrolling. A 98 CRI and 95 TM-30 Rf rating ensures accurate skin tone rendering and natural color saturation—critical for on-camera work and product lighting where color accuracy directly impacts your final recording.
Optics & Beam Characteristics
The 8-inch fresnel lens with 9 to 50 degree zoom range provides flexible beam control from tight spotting to broad wash coverage without repositioning the fixture. Anti-reflective coatings on the barn doors minimize unwanted spill while maintaining edge definition across the entire zoom range, keeping stray light off walls and reflective surfaces that can muddy your recording environment.
