Brilliant, and great news for the planet. This kind of innovativation with the number of units already out there means a lot of saved energy and resources. That is a lot of saved units going into landfills, lots of saved glass lenses, lots of saved electric power to run. ETC should be awarded for this amazing commitment to recycling and energy awareness.
Really nice but.......why no color changing? "A true LED Retro Fit" in my opinion should have true color mixing; this is what we have come to expect. Yes it looks great...again a big but... Just my 2 cents. I am the TD at a college in Texas.
+Mike Davis ETC already offers a individual diode, color-changing base unit in the Lustr and Lustr series 2, as well as the ColorSource series. This is more of a retrofit solution for existing white light.
+Tyler Ellis I am quite familiar with the ETC product line. A retro fit that that has RGBWA OR Lime or whatever recipe works best is more useful to someone like me who already has over a ton of S4's and yes I know you can use existing lens tubes with their LED S4's
+Daniel Chase I think that they could get close to the output especially when considering more saturated colors vs. gel because of the additive vs subtractive mixing of gel. And yes I think they could still achieve the same look as HPL 575 (probably not the 750) I know they are already looking at this option.
+Mike Davis In true layman terms, more bells and whistles = greater cost. I think what ETC is doing here is offering an economical retrofit, although I haven't seen the price yet. If this were RGBWA, plus all the features described here, the cost is going up considerably. If you have 200 units at your school how would administration react when you asked for all that money?
+TheTestingGrounds Actually, that is precisely my point. We are going to replace all of our S4's or upgrade them with a retro fit (that here to fore didn't exist). Depending on what we buy it's going to cost about $1,200 to $1,500 minimally per instrument (more if I go with the Stand). So, a retro fit that cost less than around $100" that would work as well or better than buying a completely new instrument makes much more sense. We would still be able to use the S4s in "conventional" mode and switch them to the retro fit as needed. I am willing to bet there will be a color changing retro fit option within a year.

ETC, this is absolutely brilliant. Great job!
как же я люблю вас ребята из ETC.
How much more is the 90 CRI variant? How do I know if my fixtures are EDLT?
You could not possibly know what bulb size is most commonly used
source 4 tungsten lights only use 1 size of bulb
$599??? Hmmmmm, do I upgrade my current lights, or go I just buy more lights? Decisions, divisions.........

Low Price of only 599 USD ... So Only $876.88 Canadian + 400$ for the Original Source four.... Not really Affordable for most users.
+Sotzrem2007 It's cheaper than buying a whole, new LED fixture.
Depends on the Brand,
