It has a list price of $1100 USD and carries the same 5/10 year warranty as the rest of the ColorSource family.

The accessories can be added to the fixture via an accessory holder that is mounted using 4 screws.The yoke design was done mostly for aesthetics but I guess it did save some weight as well. :)This fixture does not have a rotating barrel.

The 50,000 hour (or whatever number is reported) listing represents the information from an L70 report that is provided by the manufacturer of the LEDs to the fixture manufacturers. It is a calculation based on an actual burn of those LEDs (usually 10,000 hours) that is then extrapolated by a...

The change that you are referring to was a change to a single piece optic from individual optics for each LED. In this process, we also built in some diffusion that worked in a similar fashion to the Very Narrow (VN) diffusion that we used to ship with. This is why we no longer include that...

I would just like to point out that ETC started selling Selador Classic fixtures in 2009. We are still shipping them now in the original arrays. ColorSource has been shipping since 2015. :)When Source 4 LED Series 2 came out, we lowered the price of the Series 1 and continued to ship them...

Another thing you could try would be to change the size of the pattern on the gobo itself. The smaller the pattern (meaning the more distance from the edge of the glass) the cleaner the imaging will be on the wall.Of course, this will also change the size of the image on the wall so you would...

Hello TJ, Sorry for the delay in response. As was noted above, I was at LDI last week.I am sorry that you are not pleased with the performance of your 36 degree EDLT lens tube. As my coworker, David, mentioned earlier, while the EDLT lens tubes are much better than a standard lens tube...

Hello, The EDLT lens tubes have the same effect on LED fixtures as they do on traditional tungsten fixtures. They provide higher quality, crisper optics as well as higher efficiency (meaning better output). If you are not doing sharp pattern projection, it really just comes down to the output...

Thanks for the early input. I should clarify that the new lenses would not be dropped in and sold as if they were the old lenses, they would just be the new offerings that we would have. We would name them differently and label them as such.

Hello, My name is Jim and I am the fixture product manager for Fixtures at ETC. I have a quick question for anyone that would be willing to take the time to answer. Our supplier for the lenses we ship with all S4 Par fixtures is stopping production of those lenses. We are being forced to...

Hello, You are correct that the total output of the Deep Blue is less than the total output of the original ColorSource Par, but you are also correct that the output will depend on what color you are mixing. The difference is not enough that it should sway your decision on which one to use...

Sorry for the delayed response. At this time we do not have a date set. We don't want to speculate about the work that is being done and what the results will be. We want this out there as much as anyone so it will begin shipping again as soon as we are confident in its performance.Jim

Hello everyone, We have released an official announcement regarding the S4wrd shipping delays. Please check out this link: http://www.etcconnect.com/S4WRD/Updates/Jim Uphoff Fixture Product Manager ETC

Just to be clear, the reason we recommend 2 units per D20 is for dimming performance. More than 2 may cause the dimmer to misfire. If you are just powering them off of a D20 in switched mode and dimming with DMX, you can put 14 on a circuit.

Hello Amy, I would like to offer the same advice as some of the other members here and suggest that you call ETC's Technical Support help-line. I have already notified them to this post and they would be happy to help you when you have time. Give them a call at (608) 831-4116 when you are in...
