Overview

The ColorSource PAR 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 PAR 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 PAR is UL924 listed as a Directly Controlled Luminaire for

use in emergency lighting systems when used with the ETC DMX Emergency

Bypass Controller (DEBC).

Note:

Features described in this document require the latest version

of software. For information on updating fixture software, see Update

the Fixture Software on page11.

damage or bodily injury.

•

Disconnect the fixture from power and DMX and allow it to

cool before installing accessories or performing any cleaning

and maintenance.

Emergency Lighting Considerations

Luminaires that are used in emergency lighting applications must provide a

minimum illumination level over the identified means of egress path in

accordance with the Life Safety Code®, NFPA 101. A luminaire that is intended

to serve this purpose must be mounted at a height where it will not readily be

subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel and where the minimum

required illumination level over the egress path can be achieved. The ETC

DMX Emergency Bypass Controller that is driving the luminaire upon loss of

utility power must be programmed to drive the ColorSource PAR to full

illumination.
