Product overview

The Chroma-Q Color Force LED batten range is a brute of a light. At up to 12,000 hot lumens
output (Color Force 72); the super bright fixture easily washes up to 8m / 26 foot. In addition,
the advanced colour mixing and control management technologies together give you a radically
increased colour palette, a high CRI of 92 and theatrical grade dimming, all in the same fixture.
Slide-in "Cyc Light" and "Border Light" optical accessories are available to adjust the light output
to suit a wide range of applications.
The Chroma-Q Color Force lighting fixture is designed specifically for professional indoor
entertainment lighting. The fixture can be wall or floor mounted with the adjustable quick-
release end-plate fixing system. For hung bar or truss mounting, additional bar clamp hardware
is required.
The Color Force features built-in power supplies and can operate as a stand-alone unit or be
remotely controlled through ANSI E1.11 USITT DMX 512-A protocol.
The Color Force is available in two lengths, the Color Force 72 model which features a total of
288 high powered LEDs (12 x 1000 lumen RGBA cells) and the Color Force 48 model which
features a total of 192 high powered LED's (8 x 1000 lumen RGBA cells).
The control options incorporate a choice of HSI (Hue, Saturation and Intensity), RGBA (Red,
Green, Blue, Amber), RGB(A) (Red, Green, Blue, with *Magic Amber), RGBI (Red, Green, Blue
with *Magic Amber and Intensity) control modes. The Color Force also features a dynamic
Variable Effects Engine integrated in the software, which gives the lighting designer full control
over colour and effects combinations.
The product's robust anodised aluminum extruded construction houses a discreet cable
management system. Additional protection is built around the lenses for a truly road proof
fixture.

Operation

2.1 Unpacking the units

The Color Force package includes 1 unit Color Force fixture, power connector (EU)/power cord

item needs to be returned.

2.2 Cabling

The Color Force utilises PowerCon connectors for power input and through. The DMX control
data input and through connections from an external control console are via two XLR 5-pin
connectors. The chassis are ground bonded.
Note: To avoid overloading the input cable, the maximum length of Color Force fixtures for a
single power cable run is 3.6m (12') at 110V or 7.2m (24') at 220V.
