MARTIN Exterior DC-Feeder
The Martin Exterior DC-Feeder is a smart, multi-protocol driver box for the Exterior Dot-1/4/9 Pro series. Its compact design and IP66 rating make it perfectly suited for discrete installations of Exterior Dot-1/4/9 Pro strings. The Exterior DC-Feeder provides the string with clean, regulated power, even if the power supply is located at significant distances from the fixture. The Exterior DC-Feeder is compatible with P3 PowerPort 2000, P3 PowerPort 500 IP, DCE PSU 240 IP, and third-party 48 VDC power supplies.
