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.

Environment

The ColorSource Spot operates in ambient temperatures of 0°- 40°C and

comes with a variable-speed, quiet operation fan.

CAUTION:

• Risk of eye injury. Do not stare directly into the light.

• Do not operate in proximity to flammable materials.

Note:

The ColorSource Spot is for use in dry locations only.

Note:

• Maximum recommended ambient operating temperature:

Ta = 40°C (104°F)

• Maximum anticipated external surface temperature at 40°

ambient:

Tmax = 80°C (176°F)

• External temperatures after 5 minutes of full-brightness

operation at 25°C (77°F) ambient: 30°C (86°F)

• External Temperature (steady state achieved) at 25°C

(77°F): 36°C (97°F)
