Martin ERA 150 Wash WHITE – Compact Moving Head LED Wash Fixture

Product Overview

The Martin ERA 150 Wash is a compact moving-head LED wash fixture that delivers class-leading output and a wide zoom in a lightweight, affordable package. Its 7 x 40W RGBW engine produces 3,900 lumens with full-gamut color calibration and a 4.2° to 58° motorized zoom, making it a versatile workhorse for conference rooms, houses of worship, and theaters. A whisper-quiet Theatre Mode and accurate color temperature control make this compact moving head wash fixture equally at home on camera and on stage.

Product Description

The ERA 150 Wash brings high output and accurate color to a compact, budget-conscious moving head. A newly designed 7 x 40W RGBW light engine produces 3,900 lumens, roughly twice the brightness of the previous generation of compact wash moving heads, covering larger stages and longer throws than its size suggests. The 4.2° to 58° motorized zoom moves quickly between tight mid-air looks and broad even washes. A full-gamut color calibration system ensures consistent color reproduction from fixture to fixture and supports a dedicated color temperature control channel for dialing in a precise white point. In Theatre Mode the fixture runs at just 33 dB, quiet enough for the most demanding performing-arts and broadcast environments. The lightweight 7.3 kg chassis is durable and fast to rig, and practical touches such as USB firmware updates and a battery-backed display simplify setup and maintenance. Control is handled over 16-bit DMX with RDM, configured from an onboard LCD panel, so the fixture integrates cleanly into existing commercial AV and lighting control networks. This unit ships in a white finish for venues that prefer fixtures to blend into light-colored ceilings and trusses.
