About the Martin CL-MAC VW DX Viper Wash DX Moving Light
The Martin CL-MAC VW DX Viper Wash DX is a high-performance, large-scale moving head wash light engineered for the most demanding professional lighting applications in touring, theatrical, and large fixed installations. This luminaire utilizes a powerful 800W discharge light source combined with an advanced optical system to produce an exceptionally bright, uniform, and wide field of soft-edged wash light, capable of illuminating vast stage areas or architectural facades with rich, consistent color. Its defining feature is a motorized zoom system that provides an extensive and variable beam angle, allowing lighting designers to seamlessly transition from a very wide, panoramic flood to a more focused, medium beam without sacrificing intensity, offering tremendous creative flexibility from a single fixture.
The fixture excels in color reproduction and creative control, incorporating a full-color mixing system—typically CMY—alongside a fixed color wheel with additional presets, enabling access to a vast spectrum of saturated colors, delicate pastels, and precise white tones. Enhanced with a robust set of dimming and strobing capabilities, including a dedicated high-speed strobe effect, it allows for dynamic rhythmic punctuation in live performances. The Viper Wash DX is built for reliability in rigorous touring conditions, featuring a durable magnesium alloy housing, intelligent thermal management, and Martin's proprietary locking mechanisms for critical components like the lens tube and color flags.
Designed for seamless integration into modern digital lighting networks, it supports industry-standard control protocols like DMX and RDM, and often includes wireless control options. Its combination of immense output, variable zoom, superior color mixing, and rugged construction makes the Martin CL-MAC VW DX Viper Wash DX a go-to choice for lighting designers who require a versatile, powerful, and dependable wash light to serve as a foundational element in creating immersive visual environments for concerts, television productions, and major theatrical events.
