Martin's latest Alien lands.
Martin’s new Alien 02 is a powerful architectural colour changer with endlessly adaptable characteristics. Equipped with a long-life CDM 150W discharge lamp, the Alien 02 combines full range CMY colour mixing with a modular construction for multiple variants of coloured light, design and positioning.

A subtractive CMY colour mixing system blends the three complementary colours to offer an unlimited palette of tints, shades and saturated colours, whilst also ensuring smooth crossfades thanks to the incorporation of the same colour mixing technology as Martin’s established Exterior 200 colour changer. Designed with a discreet yet stylish look, the Alien 02 consists of compact components that can be fitted together to create various forms of pendant or spotlight. Available as separate base and head modules, the modular design allows lighting designers to place the base in an inconspicuous location or even hide it above a ceiling. This modular construction also allows Martin to offer a range of head designs for additional choice.

The 150W CDM SA/T lamp (included) lasts 6000 hours making the Alien 02 an ideal low maintenance fixture for permanent installations. It also includes a full range intensity control for easy adjustment of beam intensity. New stepper driver technology relegates the notorious whine of stepper motors to history. The Alien 02 can be controlled via DMX for complex lighting scenes, or by using its programmable stand-alone feature with infrared remote control.
