Note: HANDHELD COLOUR METERS

1. Product overview

The new Chroma-Q® Color One 100™ LED Par features an innovative fully homogenised beam, virtually eliminating the

colour separation and shadows synonymous with LED lighting - delivering above Par performance from ONE source.

Utilising core LED technology from the Chroma-Q premium performance lighting range, the multi-purpose fixture is ideal for a wide range of applications and provides a powerful, creative lighting tool.

The Color One’s custom optical design and fully homogenised output provides a smooth, uniform and defined 18° beam,

with outstanding colour blend across the spectrum and no unsightly colour separation shadows. This makes the Color One ideal for use as a front and backlight with clean shadows, and an uplighter with a smooth, even beam - all from ONE source.

The Color One’s huge RGBA colour-mixing palette delivers outstanding colour blend across the spectrum - including deepcold blues, red-hot lava looks and super-soft pastels - as well as a complete range of whites - all from ONE source.

With RGBA colour mixing providing a high CRI of 93, the fixture can achieve extremely accurate colour matching.

Theatrical grade dimming emulates the extremely smooth dimming curve of tungsten fixtures.

With the advanced feature set also including convection cooling for near-silent operation, a versatile mounting yoke and a

choice of IP20 / IP65* models, the Color One 100 is suitable for numerous entertainment lighting applications -

complementing the popular Chroma-Q Color Force™ and Inspire™ LED fixtures ranges.

With a simple to use Infra-Red remote control included with each fixture, you can be up and running within minutes without

the requirement of a lighting console - saving time and labour with instant access to preset colours, on/off, dimming and effects.

To enable maximum flexibility with users’ existing production inventory, the Color One accepts industry-standard 6.25” accessories such as egg crates, barndoors and top hats.

Handheld Colour Meters provide a limited measuring range for LED fixtures, which results in inconsistent and unreliable data.

All photometric values listed in this document are based on testing and measurements conducted by certified independent

laboratories with reference to the IES standards.
