ColorSource Raceway

LED stage lights draw less power and require fewer dedicated circuits than traditional incandescent sources – but are data-hungry. ColorSource Raceway is a purpose-built, configurable power and data distribution solution for LED rigs in a lightweight, economical package.

Lightweight, heavy-duty

While ColorSource Raceway supports standard 1.5 inch (48.3 mm) schedule 40 pipe, weight-sensitive applications will benefit from ETC’s reinforced aluminum WebPipe Batten. This extremely lightweight yet strong batten can support up to 150 pounds (68 kg) over a 10 foot (3 m) span. ColorSource Raceway with WebPipe Batten pairs perfectly with ETC Prodigy hoists.

With multiple hanger bracket options, ColorSource Raceway is also perfect for FOH rails, grids – really any lighting position. Optional integrated worklights attach to the Raceway’s bracket, easily illuminating your space.
