ETC – ColorSource Raceway

ETC

LED stage lights draw less power and require fewer dedicated circuits than traditional incandescent sources – but are data-hungry. ColorSource Raceway is a purpose-built, configurable power and data distribution solution for LED rigs in a lightweight, economical package. Add this to your wish list and one of our team will be in touch to discuss our requirements in detail.

Description

ColorSource Raceway meets the needs of LED lighting installations with reduced rigging requirements for stage electrics. Its lightweight aluminum construction makes ColorSource Raceway a perfect companion to ETC’s lower capacity hoists and was designed with data distribution, LED loads and flexible installation in mind.
