The ETC ColorSource CYC (model CSCYC‑5) is a dedicated LED cyclorama wash light designed to deliver smooth, vibrant wash lighting for backdrops, walls, and stage cycloramas without the complexity of traditional fixtures. Its compact fan‑free design houses a unique five‑color RGBI‑L LED array that produces a rich spectrum of colours with high brightness and excellent blending straight out of the box — no external gels required. A simple user interface with onboard presets and sequences makes setup and control intuitive, while robust construction and efficient power usage ensure dependable performance in theatres, studios, houses of worship, and event venues. The unit provides 120 V power and DMX control via a 5‑pin XLR connector, making it easy to integrate into standard lighting systems. ([turn0search3][turn0search1])
