Product overview
The Color Charge battery powered LED fixture is an ultra portable, RGBA 600 hot lumen light source, which combines
wireless control with an advanced feature set.
The Color Charge is powered by an internal rechargeable NiMH battery pack with an operating capacity of up to 30 hours,
and a product life of up to 1000 battery recharges.
The Color Charge features an interchangeable head with a total of 12 high powered LED’s (3 x RGBA) which produces an
extremely bright output of 600 hot lumens, improved colour rendition and a wider colour range.
The Color Charge features wireless control capability, wireless syncing with other units, and stand-alone or remote control
operation via ANSI E1.11 USITT DMX 512-A protocol.
The control options incorporate a choice of HSI (Hue, Saturation and Intensity), RGBA (Red, Green, Blue, Amber), RGB(A)
(Red, Green, Blue, with *Magic Amber), RGBI (Red, Green, Blue with *Magic Amber and Intensity) control modes, and a
dynamic Variable Effects Engine integrated in the software, which gives the lighting designer full control over colour and
effects combinations.
The LED’s are mounted on an interchangeable extruded aluminium head and the product's heavy gauge, powder coated
steel chassis houses the battery pack and control electronics.
