    Tech Talk: COLORado Solo Edge

     In this Tech Talk, Senior Product Development Manager Brett Haynes introduces the COLORado Solo Edge, a fixture designed specifically for one of the most challenging areas to light: the front of the stage.

    This is where performers step forward, where cameras get close, and where any inconsistency in lighting becomes immediately noticeable. The COLORado Solo Edge is built to solve those challenges with smooth, natural output that keeps skin tones clean and consistent, without harsh shadows or color shifts.

    Designed as a dedicated touring footlight, it features a low-profile, IP65-rated build that stands up to life on the stage edge while staying visually unobtrusive. A built-in stealth filter helps the fixture disappear when not in use, keeping the audience’s focus exactly where it belongs.

    Additional thoughtful details, like hidden cabling and DMX-controlled marker lights for cueing performers, make it as practical as it is refined.

    At its core, the COLORado Solo Edge is about removing distractions and delivering reliable, high-quality light, right where the performance matters most.

    MEET THE GEAR:

    This low-profile 1-meter IP65-rated RGBwWL LED footlight projects high-quality white light and a full range of color through a single-source lens designed to produce smooth, even output. Featuring fully-controllable RGB marker lights that can be used to cue talent or mark the edge of a stage, seamless end-to-end alignment, and a covered display, this elegant fixture also comes with a stealth filter that enables it to disappear when off.
