Used Martin ELP CL IP

The Martin ELP CL IP is a full-colour LED ellipsoidal profile fixture built around an RGBAL Luxeon Rebel LED engine. It shares the same output and colour performance as the non-IP version but adds IP65 moisture and dust protection plus C3 corrosion resistance, extending its use to temporary outdoor applications where the standard model would not be suitable.

Martin Professional is a Danish entertainment lighting manufacturer with more than 30 years of history in stage and architectural lighting. The ELP CL IP sits within Martin's ELP LED ellipsoidal family, which carries the output and colour performance associated with the brand into a weatherproof format, making it one of the more versatile fixtures in the range for rigs that move between indoor and outdoor environments.

The fixture reaches 6,900 lumens in High Output mode and achieves a CRI of 90 in high quality mode. Its RGBAL Luxeon Rebel LED engine produces saturated colours, and 26 colour presets are included to match industry-standard gel filters. Halation colour correction removes atypical blue and brown halos when Martin lens tubes are fitted.

The ELP CL IP uses 5-pin DMX/RDM and Neutrik True1 In/Thru connectivity. Control features include 16-bit dimming with four selectable dimming curves and flicker-free operation. For data-free situations the Fast Focus feature and gear-driven Fine Focus knob allow precise beam placement without a DMX signal.

Check that the IP65 seals show no visible damage, as compromised weatherproofing is the most distinctive feature of this fixture. Confirm the lens tube configuration included, since four static tube options and two zoom lenses exist and packages vary. Verify the framing shutters move freely and that DMX/RDM responds correctly.
