ColorSource Spot v1.7
Overview
The ColorSource Spot is an affordable LED fixture that uses the RGB-L (red,
green, blue, and lime) color system to provide a rich, bright light.
The ColorSource Spot 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.
The ColorSource Spot is UL924 listed as a Directly Controlled Luminaire for
use in emergency lighting systems when used with the ETC DMX Emergency
Bypass Controller (DEBC).
This light engine can be used with standard ETC shutter barrels, lens tubes,
fresnel adapters, CYC adapters, and accessories.
