Jay Productions & Events has added Martin VDO Sceptron 20 to their inventory. Lightweight, sturdy, easy to hang and with numerous lens options, the VDO Sceptron 20 is a single strip of LEDs built into a 1-meter sturdy aluminum frame. The VDO in the name stands for video, as in the RGB LEDs used in the fixture are the same type used in LED video tiles and the 20 dictates the pixel pitch of this particular fixture – as in 20mm.
Martin VDO Sceptrons are perfect for breaking up large amounts of space, and are a very cost-effective way to dress up a venue.
“We had been using another product but the user interface wasn’t as friendly, its overall operation wasn’t as effective either,” commented George Kostopoulos, Account Manager at Jay Productions.
George reports that his clients frequently requested Happy Tubes but once they saw the VDO Sceptrons in use, they never looked back!
“The VDO Sceptron has a really good colour spectrum and brightness,” he added. “The VDO Sceptrons are very well made, reliable and they connect together very simply with one cable. In fact they are very straightforward to set up, program and map everything together. You can pre-map the lights on top of a diagram and once you get to your bump in, you simply link that light to where you is on your map. The user interface is very good; you can use it from a video perspective or from a lighting perspective with DMX or ARTnet.”

The VDO Sceptron 20 has an extensive range of optical accessories for a wide variety of looks. The VDO Sceptron 20 is driven by the Martin P3 System Controller family for easy configuration, mapping and setup, and is also backwards compatible with DMX for smaller setups. The integrated power and data cabling allows for long daisy-chains with many fixtures per cable-run, while the power supply can be located backstage (up to 50 m away) for a clean setup avoiding messy cabling and several driver boxes.
