Color Control
The luminaire’s color system is composed of a color mixing mechanism and a fixed color wheel. The
follow sections describe these components.
Color Mixing
The color mixing mechanism is made up of four graduated color disks: blue, amber, magenta and CTO
(color temperature orange). These disks provide full-spectrum color crossfades from pastel to saturated
color.
Fixed Color Wheel
The fixed color wheel offers timed changes, half and full frame positions, and various spin rates in
either direction. The wheel contains seven positions, one being open. The following illustration shows
the standard positions and color configuration:
