ColorSource
Overview
The ColorSource Linear is an affordable LED fixture that uses the RGB-L (red,
green, blue, and lime) color system to provide a rich, bright light.
The fixture is available in three lengths:
• ColorSource Linear 1 (0.5 meter)
• ColorSource Linear 2 (1 meter)
• ColorSource Linear 4 (2 meter)
The ColorSource Linear 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.
