Michael Skinner, assistant professor of lighting design at TCU, directed the students in their use of lighting and particularly the ColorCommands. One of Skinner's favorite features is the beam shaping ability, allowing the fixture to move from a tight focus to a wide wash. "This replaces having to have a supply of various lamps to fit your PAR 64, with ColorCommand it is simply an adjustment of the beam angle via your console. You retain the brightness and get the amount of coverage you need without having to settle for too much or too little."The Color Command is at the top of Skinner's list as a great all-purpose wash luminaire with a relatively low cost. He commented: "This fixture can change the colors in a moment with little to no discernible noise. Gone are the days when you had to take the lights out, write in a follow cue to change the scroller colors and have another follow cue to bring the lights back up. With the ColorCommand, you simply tell it what color you want and how fast to change. Changes are always fast (or slow), quiet and accurate. Precision is a wonderful thing and with these lights you have it."
