New Lens Tube Options Coming for ETC Source Four
Ever since the Source Four profile spotlight was invented from a blank canvas in 1992, ETC has worked to ensure it remains the cutting edge tool for lighting professionals. The brightest luminaire in its class, the Source Four is the benchmark against which others are measured. Continuous development has seen progressive increases in light output (62% more punch since the luminaire's introduction), enhancements to the lens and reflector and innovative modifications to the lamp itself.
Now the Source Four is set to become even better, with the launch at PLASA 2005 of a potent new accessory, the EDLT - the Enhanced Definition Lens Tube. Designed as an option for the Source Four fixed focus profile, the EDLT provides even crisper projections with greater acuity and higher contrast. The EDLT makes graphics look even better and the beam edge even sharper, with no loss in field lumens. Whenever a crisp edge is needed for a window gobo in a theatrical scene, or whenever a projected corporate logo needs to be spot on, the EDLT is the choice.
Set for delivery in December, the Enhanced Definition Lens Tube will be available in 19º, 26º, and 36º beam angles. The 50º beam angle will follow in the first quarter of 2006.
Tom Littrell, ETC's luminaire product manager, said: "Because our product development is an ongoing process of subtle refinements, people often don't always notice the differences. All they see is that the Source Four remains the best luminaire in the industry. These new offerings are testament to ETC's commitment to innovation, maintaining the Source Four as the world's number one choice among lighting designers."
Now an entire family of award-winning luminaires, the Source Four line includes the Source Four PAR, PARNel, Zoom, junior and junior zoom and the MultiPAR batten, as well as HID (high intensity discharge) versions for architectural use. Whichever one you use, they all offer the famous cool beam, crisp image projection and bright, even field that is synonymous with the Source Four name. The most recent addition to the family, the Source Four Revolution, is a moving light with the same bright optics as its forebears and exceptionally quiet automation, which it makes it ideal for noise-sensitive theatre, concert or opera applications.
