1. Overview

The new Chroma-Q® Studio Force V Phosphor™ is a 3,200 - 5,600K CCT, variable white fixture which utilises
innovative LED technologies found in the Studio Force™ range to provide an equivalent soft edge output to a
fluorescent fixture - up to 4,200 lumens @ 5600K; 1,750 lumens @ 3200K - developed specifically for use in TV, film
and broadcast studio environments. The fixture features two light engines with 30 LEDs each (6 red, 6 green, 12 blue,
and 6 amber), for a total of 60 high powered LEDs. The fixture is equipped with a built-in power supply unit which can
operate as a standalone unit or controlled remotely through the ANSI E1.11 USITT DMX 512-A protocol.
