Introduction
The fos/4Panel provides an incredibly bright, top quality, highly tunable light. The Panel is
available in three sizes, and each size is available in two array types:
•Lustr X8: The next generation of the Lustr color system incorporates deep red into the
already amazing x7 mix to create an even more rich, vibrant X8 color palette.
•Daylight HDR: Years of research resulted in an LED mix that yields the highest quality
tunable white light, optimized for studio use.

What's Controlling the Fixture?
The fos/4 Panel follows two rules
to determine what is controlling
the fixture:
•Latest Takes
Precedence:Whatever change
in level or color that the fixture
receives most recently is the one
that the fixture follows.
•Wired DMX over Wireless
DMX: If both wired DMX and
wireless DMX are present, the
fixture follows the wired DMX.

Calculation uses a combination of LEDs to produce the
best spectral match of the selected chromaticity. The
Spectral option results in higher color rendering, but
lower intensity levels. (*In version 1.1 and earlier
