An apparatus that facilitates changes of colour in stage lighting. Working on the dimmer principle, the colour changes can take place at any desired speed. A dial indicating the standard range of colour media can be operated by moving a pointer to any colour required by the lighting plot, and the master change-lever at the side of the Deli-board is operated to merge the colours from the lighting circuits controlled by the unit. By moving the indicator to any colour medium, and working the side lever, the controller of the unit can brighten or reduce light, and change any circuits he pleases. Blues in the footlights can be changed to amber, amber to pink, and so on, by this simple method.
