Extube
Martin Professional
The Extube™ Series from Martin Professional is a modular system of IP65-rated linear LED luminaires. With RGB+W color mixing, a choice of opaque lenses, and easy installation, the fixture suited to a variety of applications that include floodlighting, wall-grazing, cove lighting, or creating continuous lines of decorative color, inside or out. Available in two lengths — 1' with 12 LEDs and 4' with 48 LEDs — the unit also comes with a choice of narrow, medium, and wide diffuser options, but it can also be used without a diffuser. The standard spread angle is narrow for long throws, and the module is tiltable for precise optical aiming. If ambient temperatures are too high, output from the LEDs is automatically decreased. Each pixel board has been measured and calibrated for guaranteed standardized brightness and color. HSI (Hue, Saturation, Intensity) lets users scroll through hues, altering saturation and changing intensity. HSI-C adds color temperature control. The long version can be controlled either as four single pixels or as one pixel. Both versions are 0 to 100% dimmable, and the unit's click-together system slides onto standard DIN rail, with cable-less loop-through of data and power. The luminaire is convection-cooled, comes with a switch mode power supply for worldwide compatibility, and is CE-, ETL-, and CETL-approved.
