IMAX buys ETC Source 4 CDM’s

IMAX has invested heavily into Source 4 CDM, the 150 watt discharge light source. Source Four lighting power for architecture! If your architectural space needs the lighting punch and long throws of a theatrical spotlight, or the even, clean wash of a PAR-style fixture, the solution is ETC’s Source Four CDM from IMAX

With the potent light of a Source Four CDM you can draw attention to your interior design and architectural details, call out specific objects and dramatize display spaces, or project interest-grabbing patterns, logos and signage. Source Four CMD’s long-life 12,000-hour lamp means low maintenance and less lamp change-out, and that’s perfect for positions that can’t be reached often or easily – like tall museum ceilings or vaulted church areas.

Source Four CDM’s gives you the level of performance of a 2,000-hour Source Four fixture but with 10,000 additional hours. The metal-halide fixture features all of the Source Four’s famous cool beam, imaging, pattern projection, and bright, even field. Source Four CDM’s use an electronic ballast with a power factor of greater than 95% compared to some competitors’ ballasts at less than 70%. And CDM’s ballast has an efficiency of greater than 90%. With its 1.5 amps operating current, you can safely place more Source Four CDMs on a 16A circuit than you can with 750 / 575 watt  units that operate at 2.3 amps. Plus, Source Four CDM’s are UL Listed for damp locations.

Source Four CDM’s variety: from spotlight to zoom to wash — there is a Source Four  for every architectural environment.

The standard Source Four CDM 150 watt lamp (4500 Kelvin) is now available in  the following;  19, 26, 36 and 50 fixed field angles to its range for even more throw-distance options! Use the Source Four CMD’s JR when space is tight.

The Source Four CDM Zoom allows you to change field angles for multipurpose venues.

The Source Four CDM PAR gives you brilliant wash lighting, low power and lots of light from a 150 watt  lamp

The Source Four CDM PARNel  gives you multiple effects – dramatic pools of light or room-filling washes. PARNel offer four field spreads and a 25º- 45º zoom range.
