Chroma-Q Color Force 72

The Chroma-Q Color Force 72 is a powerful LED batten fixture designed for professional touring, theater, television, house of worship, and live event applications where strong output and smooth color blending are essential. Known throughout the entertainment lighting industry for its impressive brightness and rich RGBA color mixing, the Color Force 72 quickly became a favorite among lighting designers who needed a reliable cyc, wall wash, or stage wash fixture capable of producing both vivid saturated colors and soft pastel tones. Its long 6-foot form factor allows for seamless coverage across large surfaces, making it especially effective for cyclorama lighting, scenic washes, stage backdrops, and architectural accents. The fixture delivers excellent output while maintaining smooth theatrical-grade dimming, making it suitable for both concert environments and more delicate theatrical productions. The advanced optical system helps eliminate visible color separation and produces a clean, even wash that looks professional both on camera and in person.

Built with touring and production environments in mind, the Chroma-Q Color Force 72 features a rugged anodized aluminum housing engineered to withstand demanding road use and constant setup and teardown. The fixture includes built-in power supplies and convenient PowerCon and DMX connectivity for streamlined cabling and fast deployment in live production environments. Its modular design and quick-release mounting system make it practical for floor mounting, wall installation, truss mounting, or cyc applications. Lighting programmers appreciate the fixture’s flexible DMX personalities and multiple control modes, including RGB, RGBA, HSI, and effects-driven configurations that provide detailed control over individual sections of the unit. With separate control zones throughout the fixture, designers can create dynamic chases, gradients, pixel-mapped effects, and layered color looks that add depth and movement to productions. The fixture also incorporates Chroma-Q’s well-known “Magic Amber” technology, which helps generate warmer color tones and more natural-looking whites that are difficult to achieve with traditional RGB-only fixtures.

One of the strongest selling points of the Color Force 72 is its versatility across multiple entertainment disciplines. Whether used as a cyc light in theater productions, a stage wash for concerts, an uplight for corporate events, or a colorful scenic fixture for television studios, the unit consistently delivers professional results with dependable performance. The fixture produces up to 12,000 hot lumens of output and can effectively wash surfaces up to 8 meters or 26 feet, making it a highly efficient solution for large-scale productions. Optional cyc and border optics further expand its capabilities by allowing users to customize beam spread for specific applications. Despite being discontinued in 2017, the Color Force 72 remains highly respected on the used market because of its durability, output quality, and proven reliability in professional environments. For buyers seeking a robust LED batten with strong output, smooth dimming, excellent color rendering, and industry-proven performance, the Chroma-Q Color Force 72 continues to be an outstanding fixture choice for demanding production applications.
