Units are stackable. Thanks to multiple interlock points, several COLORado 3 units can be attached to create a seamless strip, a bank for use as a blinder light, or even as an entire wall.
Each unit consists of three pods of 18 ultra bright 1-watt LEDS arranged in circles. Life expectancy of the diodes is 100,000 hours. Seven of the unit's 12 DMX channels enable individual control over the colours red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow and white. RGB mixing in each of the three pods is also controllable individually. Distinctive software features include automatic DMX-512 self-addressing to provide quick and easy set-up and programming. In addition, COLORado 3 offers Chauvet's ID addressing protocol.
An optional COLORado controller allows timed control of the fixture's onset and turnoff and accesses built in programmes as well. Light intensity is 286 foot candles at 1 metre.
