COLOR KINETICS DEMONSTRATES INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

New products and technologies enable limitless creativity and unprecedented applications with intelligent LED illumination

NEW YORK, NY - LIGHTFAIR INTERNATIONAL 2003 - May 6, 2003 - Color Kinetics Incorporated, the pioneer of intelligent LED-based illumination technologies, today revealed a look at the future of intelligent lighting with new products and technologies designed to support wider-ranging applications, sophisticated control, and infinite creative possibilities. Color Kinetics also introduced enhanced additions to its existing line of award-winning LED illumination systems and demonstrated several futuristic product concepts, all based on patented Chromacore® technology.

INFINITE APPLICATIONS WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY

Chromasic™ is a custom-designed microchip that integrates power, communications, and control to enable next-generation digital lighting systems and networks. By combining digital LED control and communication technology in a single silicon chip, Chromasic enables a highly controllable lamp that requires as few as four components to generate 64 billion color combinations within the space of a pencil eraser. The device can be used in numerous system configurations, as evidenced by Color Kinetics' display of tile and string-like applications, and creates whole new possibilities for both small and large-scale installations --- even those that comprise many thousands of individual light nodes.

INFINITE CREATIVITY WITH NEW PRODUCTS

ColorBlaze™ is an ultra high-performance system that leverages the latest advancements in LED technology to efficiently cast far-reaching colored light and effects with maximized output for theatrical, entertainment, and architectural applications. ColorBlaze is available in 6' and 4' lengths, named ColorBlaze 72 and ColorBlaze 48 respectively, and is controllable in 6" increments. The system features on-board power in an extruded aluminum housing to streamline design and installation.

C-Splash 2 is an ultra thin, IP68-rated submersible fixture that provides vibrant color and lighting effects for use in or near fresh and saltwater locations up to 15 feet deep. Reminiscent in design to classic diving gear, this streamlined yet highly rugged system can withstand water treated with bromine and chlorine and is ideal for generating effects that range from subtle to dramatic in fountain, landscaping, and theme park applications.

INFINITE COLOR WITH PRODUCT FAMILY ENHANCEMENTS

iColor® Cove NXT extends the range of applications made possible by Color Kinetics' iColor Cove family, which brings dynamic color and lighting effects to alcoves, accent areas, and other tight spaces. This new system casts a wide beam angle of 120 degrees for a seamless distribution of rich, uniform color. iColor Cove NXT is ideally suited for backlighting and for applications where alcove space is limited and light fixture positions are very close to walls or ceilings.

ColorBurst™ joins Color Kinetics' popular bColor Series for grand-scale wall-washing and spotlight effects. With a classic, round spotlight design in 6- or 4-inch diameter, ColorBurst features a unique, rotating mounting arm for precise aiming capabilities and projects a soft-edge beam of customizable, colored light. The system is IP66-rated for outdoor as well as indoor use.
