<p>They want to be even bigger. That meant thinking smaller. Their dream was to open the world of high-end lighting to schools, amateur groups, and small businesses.</p>
<p>They asked Delve to design and engineer their powerful ColorSource Spot spotlight into a more compact, affordable, and just as beautiful version.&nbsp;The result, the ColorSource Spot jr, is half the weight and half the price.</p>

<h2>Engineering 52 LEDs Into a Coke Can</h2>
<p>Fitting the lenses, lights, cooling systems and other requirements into a housing half the size of the professional version required smart component placement and careful design of airflow.</p>
<p>The team engineered 52 Lumileds LUXEON® C LEDs into a space the size of a Coke can, delivering stunning color with precision. The fixture also enables operators to adjust optics on the fly to customize light throw and focus to suit their venue’s needs. </p>
<p>We devised an innovative approach to cooling the fixture. The method takes up less space and maintains the whisper-quiet operation ETC is known for.</p>

<h2>Designing the Spotlight to Stand Out and Fit In</h2>
<p>The industrial design of the spotlight complements its functionality while allowing it to stand out as an exciting new offering in the LED fixture market.</p>
<p>We replaced the metal housing with a lightweight injection-molded plastic housing, which offered our designers greater flexibility to make the shape more compact. The design also makes it easy for staff at smaller venues to confidently master all the features.</p>
<p>While we took advantage of opportunities that the new material afforded, we focused intensely on maintaining the integrity of ETC’s visual brand. The result is a product that stands out while fitting seamlessly into the ColorSource family of lights.</p>

<h2>Testing with the Bat-Signal</h2>
<p>During the four-month project, Delve conducted workshops with the ETC team to ensure the Spot jr is easy to assemble and use. In between, we were testing and documenting everything—throwing the spotlight on houses and casting the Bat-Signal in the sky.</p>

<h2>Introducing the Spot jr</h2>
<p>Spot jr is the first of what may become a new product category—light fixtures for smaller venues without the financial and technical resources to enjoy professional-quality lighting. </p>
<p>The Spot jr offers high performance at a size that’s easy to install and a price that’s within reach. It opens up a whole new market for ETC teeming with creative possibilities for schools, amateur groups, and small businesses.</p>
<h2>"We partnered with Delve to get the product to market faster"</h2>
<p>“With resources being tight and timelines being even tighter, we partnered with Delve to see if we could get the product to market faster.&nbsp;We were very happy with the communication throughout the process, as well as the final output. <br>Their professionalism and work speak for themselves.&nbsp;We learned a lot while working with Delve and look forward to future projects.” —&nbsp;Jim Uphoff, Entertainment Fixture Product Manager</p>
