Product Information

Homogenised Output – Superior Colour Blend & No Unsightly Colour-Mixing Shadows

Using the very latest fully homogenised optics found in the award winning Chroma-Q product range, the Color Force II Plus™ fixtures’ output is a single, clean and pure beam of light, delivering a superior colour blend with no unsightly colour-mixing shadows.

The homogenised optics and improved Chroma-Q technology provide even brighter, richer, higher quality saturates and pastels, and a purer white – all from a single source.

Theatrical Grade Dimming
Theatrical grade dimming emulates the extremely smooth dimming curve of tungsten fixtures.

Colour Consistency
Proprietary calibration technologies ensure each Color Force II Plus™ leaves the factory colour matched, delivering completely consistent colours unit to unit even side by side.

Even More Creative Control

The new models also provide more creative control, with twice as many light engines accommodated within the same fixture lengths – providing independently controllable cells every 3 inches.

Simply Amazing!

How creatives are using...

The Color Force II Plus lights are fantastic. The intensity and color saturation is far superior to the colour chorus fixtures. The lensing also blends better on scenic elements, giving even coverage at close range.

I love providing Color Force II Plus fixtures because they check every box—for designers, they deliver beautiful, consistent color and flawless wall washes; for master electricians, they’re reliable, easy to rig, and a dream to work with. As a project manager, it’s a win when a fixture satisfies both sides of the production.

The Color Force II Plus is easily the top fixture on the market for lighting drape or scenic elements. The color saturation is phenomenal, the brightness is powerful, and the lensing does a beautiful job diffusing the output to eliminate hot spots. Simply put—they’re just really great lights.

I’m not a lighting designer, but I’ve run enough shows to know what delivers—and Color Force II Plus fixtures deliver. When I spec them in, it’s like giving the lighting team a gift. The output, the color blending, the punch—they just make everything look better. It’s one of those tools that instantly elevates the whole room.

As a project manager, I’m closely involved in shaping the look and feel of every show and Color Force II Plus have become a go-to for good reason. Their flexibility and functionality are unmatched. Whether it’s lighting a stage backdrop, scenic elements, or creating bold color washes, the depth and richness these fixtures bring consistently elevate the entire experience.
