Martin Architectural Introduces Exterior 200 Long Barrel

Martin Architectural

has introduced the “long barrel” version of its popular Exterior 200 outdoor CMY color changer.

The Exterior 200 Long Barrel’s greater length allows the possibility of achieving narrow beam options for longer light throw while maintaining a high intensity beam. Two different options are available: 22° field angle (using Fresnel lens) and a 12° field angle (using the PC lens, which replaces the front glass). Finally, it is possible to mount a beam shaper glass to the underside of the PC lens, which provides an asymmetric beam shape of 14° x 69°.

The new options mean that field angle possibilities for the Exterior 200 now range from a very narrow 12° beam to a very wide 70° flood, with 6 different steps to choose from.

The Long Barrel’s narrow angle options are also useful for illuminating columns and other narrow structures, while the beam shaper option offers very precise light control on rectangular surfaces. Also compatible with the Exterior 200 Long Barrel is a barndoor/snoot kit, useful for reducing glare in long throw situations.

Since its launch in 2001, the Exterior 200 has established itself as a highly capable and consistently specified outdoor color changer. Housed in a beautifully designed weatherproof casing, the Exterior 200’s asymmetrical wide throw flood beam makes it perfect for applications where projection distance is limited. Now, with the long barrel version, projection possibilities have been greatly increased.

Extremely versatile, the Exterior 200 features seamless CMY color mixing giving a nearly unlimited variety of color possibilities. A long life CDM 150-SA/T lamp powers highly efficient optics for high light intensity. The Exterior 200 can be tucked discreetly into architectural design details of buildings or any other illumination structure, and an IP 65 rating means the Exterior 200 can withstand even the toughest outdoor conditions. A built-in light sensor, memory presets and DMX controllability add to its independent functionality.

The Exterior 200 incorporates full-range continuous dimming, a manual beam-shaping function and is the perfect complement to the long throw characteristics of Martin’s Exterior 600. A convection cooling system ensures silent and trouble-free use for indoor applications as well.
