Anybody wonder why Source 4?
Maybe I'm really lame for actually thinking about this, but does anyone know why a Source 4 is named such? There is no combination of 4 anywhere on the instrument (except for the shutters but those arent really revolutionary) or is it because when the unit first came out there were only 4 lens options (barrels)?

No idea – but the lens option would seem a logical explanation. However, it is probably something obscure and completely unrelated!

The ETC Source Four fixture uses a lamp that has <4> compact filaments within the globe. The design of the lamp is as important as the dichroic coated glass reflector, which allows IR heat to escape through the rear of the fixture, as opposed to being reflected out the gate- limiting the life of gobos and gel.
Pretty REVOLUTIONary if I say so myself...

Source 4 because it was suposed to be the Fourth major source of lighting after the Sun, Fire and Electric light. It was an ego-booster and they kinda deserve it.
