Martin VDO Sceptron Tube Diffuser 320mm
Description
Martin VDO Sceptron Tube Diffuser 320mm
The Martin VDO Sceptron Tube Diffuser 320mm is a precision replacement lens engineered to modify the light distribution of VDO Sceptron 320mm Series fixtures. This lightweight polycarbonate accessory swaps in seamlessly to expand beam spread and create softer, more diffused light coverage for studio and production environments.
Optical Performance for Studio Lighting
The diffuser delivers a 180-degree viewing angle, substantially widening the light projection compared to standard optics and reducing hot spots for more even illumination across larger studio areas. The smoked polycarbonate construction softens output while maintaining brightness, making it ideal for key light applications, fill light setups, and general-purpose studio work where broad, even coverage takes priority over tight beam definition.
Design & Build Quality
Constructed from durable, lightweight polycarbonate, the diffuser resists impact and UV degradation during regular studio use and session setups. The 320mm tube format ensures direct compatibility with VDO Sceptron 320mm fixtures, with a straightforward installation process requiring no tools or modifications to the host unit.
