ColorCommand Fixture
ColorCommand is a highly-versatile color mixing washlight
that uses a simple, compact incandescent lamp and an
innovative patented dichroic color mixing system. Because
ColorCommand colors the whole beam simultaneously, it
ensures a smooth, even field and allows you complete
freedom when color mixing and adjusting beam size.
ColorCommand produces a huge range of colors, from
subtle pastels to deep saturates. ColorCommand can snap
between one color and another in less than 1/3 second, or
make slow, controlled fades.
ColorCommand uses dichroic borosilicate glass, which will not fade or change color,
so the color you create during rehearsals is the same color you will see a week,
month, or year later. There are no gel scrolls to burn out or replace, and
ColorCommand can be used anywhere you would currently use a PAR can, Fresnel,
or PC fixture. See Appendix B for ColorCommand installation and maintenance.
