Overview
The ColorSource PAR is an affordable LED wash fixture that uses the RGB-L
(red, green, blue, and lime) color system to provide a rich, bright light.
This fixture is available in both original and Deep Blue variants. The Deep Blue
uses an array that offers richer, more saturated blues and stronger magentas
in exchange for the more jewel-toned blues like sky or turquoise. For more
information, see the ETC website at etcconnect.com.
CAUTION:
• Risk of eye injury. Do not stare directly into the light.
• Do not operate in proximity to flammable materials.
Note:
Features described in this document require the latest
version of software. For information on updating fixture
software, see Updating the fixture software on page 9.
