The Exterior 1200 Wash is the newest addition to Martin Architectural's Exterior range of outdoor luminaires. Its powerful 1200W lamp and full range color mixing system make it ideal for dynamic illumination of tall structures, high-rises or any high-visibility architecture.

Limitless Choice of Colors

The Exterior 1200's seamless CMY system blends the primary colors Cyan, Magenta and Yellow to achieve a full spectrum of luminous colors. These colors, variable in hue and saturation, can be programmed to shift smoothly from shade to shade to create truly dynamic architecture. Further color options are also provided on a four-color wheel.

Efficient Optics

The Exterior 1200 houses an efficient 1200W metal halide lamp capable of reaches of 9 stories and above. Its high optical performance results in a uniform distribution of light and color, and an opti-white front glass gives an exceptionally pure white light. Intensity control is 0-100% for easy balance of brightness allowing buildings and landscapes to respond intelligently to the availability of natural light. Ellipsoidal beam shapers and other optical accessories provide precise optical control for pin-point illumination of columns, pylons and very tall structures.

Dynamic Zoom

Narrow and Medium models provide designers with a variable zoom and the possibility of varying beam angles from 7° to 19° or 12° to 29°. This offers the flexibility of re-focusing on-site in order to achieve a perfect distribution of light and color.

True Weather Protection

The Exterior 1200 is weatherproof rated at IP65 which guarantees reliable operation in harsh, weather-beaten environments. An efficient cooling system means the luminaire is effective in even the hottest environments. The Exterior 1200 is the only true weather-protected 1200W dynamic luminaire on the market. It is also suitable for marine environments such as cruise ships and bridges and has been wind load tested, an important factor for tower or bridge installations.

Heat Exchange Cooling

By applying the fundamental laws of heat exchange used in the automotive and other industries, the Exterior 1200 operates in the hottest environments while remaining fully sealed with an ingress protection of 65 (IP65).

Air inside the product is circulated through a sealed heat exchange that is cooled by an IP65 fan on the base of the product. The air then passes and cools critical components before absorbing heat and circulating back to the heat exchange where it is once again cooled. This process ensures safe operating temperatures while ingeniously keeping dust and pollutants out.

Installation and Maintenance Ease

The Exterior 1200 has been made with low installation costs and freedom from maintenance in mind. A fully adjustable tilt angle allows the fixture to be oriented in any position. A convenient service hatch provides immediate front access for easy re-lamping, reducing service costs and securing the designer's aiming position.

Programmability

DMX controllable from an external controller or PC software, the Exterior 1200 can also operate via a built-in program or master/slave relationship. The LCD display also allows effortless diagnosis of factors such as lamp life, fan speed and temperature.

Graphics and Animated Effects

Available summer 2007 will be the Exterior 1200 Image Projector. Designed for night-time environments with emotional impact, the Exterior 1200 Image Projector provides drama with illuminated textures and animated effects such as reflected water, ripples, flames, clouds, rain, snow and more.
