About the ETC Source Four HID series
The ETC Source Four HID series delivers the performance of the classic Source Four fixture with a 12,000-hour lamp life, using a 150W metal-halide source. All models share a cool beam, pattern projection capability, framing shutters, rugged construction and a bright, even field. The electronic ballast achieves a power factor greater than 95% and an efficiency greater than 90%, drawing 1.5 amps operating current so multiple units can run safely on a 20A circuit. The range is UL Listed for damp locations and includes fixed-angle spotlights, the HID Zoom with on-site field-angle adjustment from 25 to 50 degrees, the compact HID jr in 26, 36 or 50 degree options, and the HID PAR washlight with four interchangeable lenses.
ETC Source Four HID series — buyer FAQs
What is the ETC Source Four HID series used for?
The ETC Source Four HID series is an architectural lighting range designed to highlight interior design details, dramatise display spaces, and project patterns, logos and signage. All models use a 150W metal-halide source with a cool beam and bright, even field, making them suited to fixed installations where long lamp life and precise light shaping are priorities.
Who makes the Source Four HID series and how does it fit the ETC range?
The Source Four HID series is made by Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC), an American lighting manufacturer known for fixtures, control consoles, and dimming systems used across theatre, studio, architectural and live-event applications. The HID series extends the classic Source Four platform with a 12,000-hour metal-halide source aimed specifically at permanent architectural installations.
What configurations are available in the Source Four HID series?
The series includes four main variants: the fixed-angle HID spotlight, the HID Zoom with on-site field-angle adjustment from 25 to 50 degrees, the compact HID jr in 26, 36 or 50 degree fixed options, and the HID PAR washlight with four interchangeable lenses for a clean, even wash. All share pattern projection capability, framing shutters and rugged construction.
What are the key electrical specs of the Source Four HID?
The Source Four HID runs a 150W metal-halide lamp at 1.5 amps operating current, which means multiple units can run safely on a single 20A circuit. The electronic ballast achieves a power factor greater than 95 percent and an efficiency greater than 90 percent. The fixture is also UL Listed for damp locations, widening its range of installation environments.
What should I check when buying a second-hand Source Four HID series fixture?
Check which variant is included (fixed-angle, Zoom, jr or PAR) and confirm the field angle or lens set, since these differ across the range. Lamp hours are worth asking about given the 12,000-hour rated life. Used units are listed in varying conditions, so review the condition notes carefully. Listings on this page include a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults; the buying guide at 10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide/ covers the full process.
