Overview
The ColorSource Spot is an affordable profile fixture that offers the quality and
support of an ETC LED fixture. Utilizing an RGB-L color mixing system, the
ColorSource Spot produces amazing color and output for a four-color fixture.
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 www.etcconnect.com.
This light engine can be used with standard ETC shutter barrels, lens tubes,
Fresnel and Cyc Adapters, and accessories.
