Martin Lighting VDO Sceptron XB Glare Shield

Lighting designers, rental technicians, and installation professionals working with the Martin VDO Sceptron XB pixel-batten system often need to shift the fixture from wide-output video element to a controlled, directional light source. The VDO Sceptron XB Glare Shield is the purpose-built optical accessory that makes this possible, clipping directly onto the fixture without tools and enabling precise management of spill light when illuminating talent, set pieces, or architectural surfaces where stray output is a liability.

As part of the broader VDO Sceptron XB optical accessory family, the glare shield works alongside diffusers and lenses to give designers a modular toolkit that can be reconfigured between shows, scenes, or installations without removing the fixture from its rigging position. This interchangeability is a core design advantage over fixed-optic pixel-battens, reducing downtime during changeovers and keeping rental inventory flexible. The accessory is available in lengths matched to both VDO Sceptron XB fixture variants, so integration across mixed-length rigs remains consistent.

Because the underlying VDO Sceptron XB carries an IP65 rating, the glare shield is equally suited to controlled studio and broadcast environments as it is to temporary outdoor setups and touring productions. For integrators building permanent installations or rental operators preparing multi-fixture arrays, the accessory system eliminates the need to stock separate fixture types for different beam-control requirements, making the VDO Sceptron XB platform a practical long-term investment.
