Martin MAC Viper XIP Now Available to Hire from CEG
CEG adds Martin's flagship IP54 outdoor LED moving head to its UK hire fleet — 28,000 lumens of weatherproof moving head performance for festivals, concerts, and live events.
The Martin MAC Viper XIP is now available to hire from CEG — bringing the legendary Viper performance into an IP54-rated outdoor moving head for the first time. As Martin's flagship outdoor profile, the Viper XIP is the most capable weatherproof moving head available for hire in the UK. Whether you're lighting a summer festival main stage, an outdoor concert, or a temporary installation exposed to the elements, this fixture delivers full indoor-quality performance without weather concerns.
IP54 Weatherproof Moving Head — Full Indoor Performance, Outdoors
For years, lighting designers have faced an impossible trade-off: use a premium indoor fixture and hope for dry weather, or settle for an outdoor-rated alternative that sacrifices output, features, or both.
The MAC Viper XIP eliminates that compromise entirely. Martin's patent-pending XIP weatherproofing achieves IP54 protection without the usual penalties in size, weight, noise, or output — a genuine first for a fixture of this calibre.
If you've relied on the MAC Viper indoors, the XIP edition delivers the same creative toolkit in a package you can deploy outdoors with confidence. No protective covers. No anxious weather checks. Just consistent, reliable output — rain or shine. For lighting designers seeking a Martin MAC hire solution that works in any weather, the Viper XIP removes the last barrier to outdoor creativity.
28,000 Lumens of Main Stage Output from a 760W LED Engine
At the heart of the MAC Viper XIP sits a 760W LED engine featuring 55 high-output white LEDs, producing a consistent 28,000 lumens in wide mode and 24,700 lumens in narrow. That makes this the brightest IP-rated moving head profile you can hire today. Martin's smart gobo light recycling technology boosts efficiency by 25%, ensuring maximum output reaches the stage.
Ideal for Festivals, Concerts & Outdoor Event Lighting
The MAC Viper XIP isn't just an indoor fixture with a raincoat. It's been engineered from the ground up for outdoor production environments where conditions are unpredictable and expectations are high. That's why it's become the most requested outdoor moving head hire in our fleet since launch.
Consistent 28,000-lumen output through rain, dust, and changing conditions. IP54 means fixtures stay rigged overnight without crew needing to bag or derig them.
Full profile capability — gobos, framing shutters, prism, frost — without protective covers degrading beam quality. The same creative toolkit you'd use indoors.
Optional Spectral Enhancement Filter raises CRI to 90. Variable refresh rates from 2,400 Hz to 24,000 Hz eliminate flicker for high-speed cameras in uncontrolled outdoor environments.
Deploy and leave with confidence. Operates from -10°C to 40°C ambient, with 80°C max surface temperature — safe for semi-permanent outdoor installations.
At just 31.9 dB(A) in ultra-low noise mode, the MAC Viper XIP is quieter than a whispered conversation — making it ideal for noise-sensitive outdoor venues and corporate events. If low noise is a priority for your Viper hire, the ultra-quiet mode ensures audience microphones never pick up fan noise from the rig.
Professional Lighting Control: DMX, sACN, Art-Net & Martin P3
The MAC Viper XIP slots seamlessly into modern production networks with support for DMX-512, Art-Net, sACN, and Martin P3 control protocols. Every Viper XIP in CEG's hire fleet ships pre-tested and ready to drop into your rig.
