About the ETC CL-ETC ColorSource Spot Source Four LED Leko
The ETC ColorSource Spot LED is a professional-grade, four-color LED ellipsoidal reflector spotlight (LEKO) designed as a high-efficiency, long-life replacement for traditional tungsten-halogen source four fixtures in theatrical, architectural, and studio installations. It leverages an advanced LED light engine that combines high-output red, green, blue, and lime diodes to produce a broad and vibrant color gamut, including rich saturated colors, deep ambers, and high-quality whites with an excellent color rendering index crucial for lighting skin tones and scenery accurately. This sophisticated color system allows lighting designers to achieve nearly any hue directly from the fixture without the need for traditional color filters, enabling dynamic color changes during performances and eliminating the ongoing cost and waste of disposable gel.
Optically, the fixture maintains the standard performance characteristics that make ellipsoidals a staple of stage lighting, including a sharp, focusable beam with adjustable beam and field angles, and the ability to project crisp patterns and gobos via an integrated slot. It is engineered for smooth, uniform field output with minimal color fringing or beam artifacts, providing a quality of light suitable for critical front-of-house and key lighting applications. The fixture's LED source provides immediate, silent dimming from 0-100% without the color temperature shift associated with dimming tungsten lamps, and it consumes a fraction of the electrical power while generating minimal heat, significantly reducing venue cooling loads and enhancing safety around drapes and scenery.
Built with ETC's reputation for durability and reliability, the ColorSource Spot features a robust cast aluminum housing designed for continuous use. It integrates seamlessly into existing lighting infrastructures, accepting standard three-pin or five-pin DMX control and mounting via a familiar yoke and clamp assembly. The fixture offers user-friendly features such as manual color pick wheels and a backlit LCD display for local control, alongside advanced network capabilities for integration into large-scale systems. By delivering the precise beam control and reliability of a conventional Leko with the energy efficiency, color-mixing versatility, and operational cost savings of modern LED technology, the ColorSource Spot provides a future-proof lighting solution for educational institutions, houses of worship, and professional theaters.
