The COLORdash Accent 3 is a compact, high-output RGBA LED wash designed for precision accent lighting in theatres, broadcast studios, houses of worship, live events, and exhibition stands. Despite its palm-sized footprint, it delivers a tight, homogeneously mixed beam with smooth 0-100% dimming, selectable PWM for flicker-free performance on camera, and flexible DMX control modes for both quick setups and complex programming.
Engineered for durability and dependable touring use, the fixture features a robust metal housing with a dual-purpose yoke that also functions as a floor stand for ground stacking and uplighting applications. The clean rear panel layout and intuitive onboard display streamline addressing and mode selection. Its low weight and compact footprint make it easy to rig in tight spaces, truss corners, and set pieces where a precise punch of colour is required.

In practice, the COLORdash Accent 3 excels at tight, controlled accents with beautifully blended RGBA output and no visible colour fringing. The selectable PWM keeps footage clean under high-speed cameras, and dimmer transitions are smooth and predictable for theatrical cues. Its small size means you can add nuanced colour where larger fixtures won't fit--inside set pieces, on scenic elements, or to create clean uplights that won't distract from the design.
Q: What type of projects is the COLORdash Accent 3 best suited for?
A: Precision accenting in theatre, broadcast, corporate events, and installations where a small, bright, and cleanly mixed RGBA beam is required.

A: Yes. The fixture provides selectable high-frequency PWM to ensure stable, flicker-free output for filmed and live-streamed content.
Q: Which control options are available?
A: It supports DMX with multiple personalities for simple or advanced control, as well as RDM for remote addressing and diagnostics.
Q: Can I broaden the beam for wider coverage?
A: Yes. Optional diffusion accessories can be fitted to soften and widen the beam for short-throw wash applications.
Q: Is it suitable for quiet environments?
A: Yes. Its efficient, low-noise design and smooth dimming curves make it well suited to theatres, galleries, and houses of worship.
