ETC has received rave reviews from the entertainment and architectural fields for our PAR and PARNel fixtures. Now that level of performance has been combined with the same stellar lamp and ballast life of our HID ellipsoidal range. That's right, now ETC offers a complete set of HID sources for your projects and installations - the same precision and beam quality seen on stages around the world is available to you for all your architectural needs.
Source Four HID PAR and PARNel's long-life 12,000 hour lamp means low maintenance, and that's perfect for locations that can't be reached often or easily. Source Four HID gives you the level of performance of a 2,000-hour 575 watt Source Four fixture but with 10,000 additional hours. This 150W metal halide Source Four PAR and PARNel HID offer clean even washes of light in four beam spreads and a 25-45 zoom range.
Source Four HID PAR and PARNel use a 150W electronic ballast with a power factor of greater than 95% compared to some competitive units' ballasts at less than 70%. And HID's ballast has an overall efficiency of greater than 90%. With it's 1.5 amps operating current and harmonic distortion of less than 10%, you can safely place more Source Four HIDs on a 20A circuit than you can other manufacturers' units that operate at 2.3 amps.
Source Four HIDs are non-dimmable fixtures. Use Source Four HIDs with all you Source Four accessories.

Electronic Theater Controls
Since its founding by Fred Foster in 1975, ETC (Electronic Theatre Controls, Inc.) has become a global leader in award-winning entertainment and architectural lighting equipment. ETC's fixtures, lighting control consoles, dimmers and distribution products are the backbone of lighting systems in venues worldwide - from schools and churches, to community theaters and TV studios, to opera houses and theme parks.
Over the first decade of its history, ETC earned a reputation for sophisticated microprocessor-based lighting control consoles. By 1990, ETC had acquired Lighting Methods, Inc., a Rochester, New York-based manufacturer of entertainment dimming systems. ETC quickly became one of the largest fully-integrated entertainment lighting control manufacturers in North America, with offices in Middleton, WI; Orlando, FL; Rochester, NY; and Hollywood, CA. The next phase of growth began in 1995, when ETC acquired the lighting control division of London-based distributor ARRI GB. That same year, ETC opened an office in Hong Kong, extending its expansion into Asia. In 1997, ETC opened an office in Copenhagen, Denmark, to serve the Northern European market, and a year later opened an office in Rome, allowing greater access to Southern Europe. ETC acquired Transtechnik Lichtsysteme, Holzkirchen, Germany in 2002, widening ETC's market potential in Europe. Continuing its growth, ETC took an equity position in Avab France in 2003. In 2004, ETC acquired Dutch sine wave dimming manufacturer IES and its industrial weighing and measuring division Penko Engineering BV, both located in Veenendaal, the Netherlands. Beginning March 31, 2005, all formerly separate operations of ETC in Europe joined under the common corporate banner of ETC. ETC's new international headquarters, located in Middleton, WI (near the state capital Madison) serve as hub of global administration and manufacturing.
Through the years, ETC has gained an industry-wide reputation for outstanding service and customer support. ETC not only maintains in-house, 24-hour Technical and Customer Service staffs, but an extensive network of factory-trained, authorized field service centers.
