Learn about our differentiating technologies, how they are applied across our portfolio, and key applications in this online training course: Color Kinetics Essentials.

Download Optibin Technology Overview

Optibin - Where consistency begins

Our LED optimization technology begins the color consistency process by grouping (or binning) LEDs by flux as well as center wavelength.

This proprietary binning optimization process uses an advanced bin selection formula that exceeds industry standards for chromaticity. The result? Higher uniformity and consistency of hue and color temperature for all our luminaires.

Download Chromasync technology overview

Chromasync - Optimize output & color consistency

Our advanced output optimization technology controls and boosts output while ensuring color consistency. When enabled, Chromasync ensures excellent color consistency between luminaires, without manually adjusting color points on each luminaire.

Download Intellihue technology overview

IntelliHue - The smart way to white & color light

Our advanced approach to color mixing produces high-quality white light, subtle pastels, and fully saturated colors in the same precisely controllable luminaire. All with unrivaled color accuracy across the entire range of color temperatures.

Download OptiField technology overview

OptiField - Uniformity never looked this good

Our proprietary optical technology rethinks beam shape to deliver beautiful light with remarkable evenness. With OptiField, our luminaires achieve unparalleled uniformity and eliminate hotspots and banding. The result of a decade of research and development, OptiField’s freeform optic creates a breakthrough rectangular beam that covers large surfaces with full, bright, even light. And OptiField can cover more surface area with fewer luminaires — simplifying installation while lowering energy use.

Download Powercore technology overview

Powercore - Power made simple

Powercore^®, our patented approach to power output proves that simple is better. As well as faster, more efficient, and accurate. Powercore controls power output to luminaires directly from line voltage. It merges line voltage with control data and delivers both over a single standard cable—dramatically simplifying installation and lowering total system cost.

Download FluxBoost technology overview

FluxBoost - Unlock the full power of your luminaires

FluxBoost is a breakthrough technology that optimizes power and quality. With FluxBoost, an installation can use more of the power budget allocated to the project, enabling significantly higher output, creating more saturated colors, reducing waste and increasing efficiency.

Chromacore

The smart heart of a CK intellient luminaire

Chromacore^® technology makes endless possibilities possible by putting precise control at the core of our intelligent luminaires. Our pioneering, proprietary technology adds digital interfaces and built-in intelligence that make our solutions so smart. And it delivers the individual channel control you need for advanced color mixing. Thanks to Chromacore, you can adjust the color temperature of white light and create sophisticated dynamic color effects.

Chromasic

Our tiny chip makes a big difference

Chromasic^® Our custom-designed and patented microchip is the fast-thinking brain at the core of our intelligent luminaires, integrating power, communications, and control. About the size of a pencil eraser, Chromasic enables precise, pixel-level control of even the most complex lighting project.

Unequalled simplicity, billions of colors, proven reliability, new possibilities — Chromasic delivers it all and more in a single silicon chip.

DIMand

Setting the right mood

DIMand™ our patented technology for smooth dimming makes non-digital dimming eColor and eW LED Luminaires compatible with selected commercially-available ELV-type dimmers. How? By interpreting standard dimming signals and regulating and controlling the power provided by dimming circuits.

KiNET

Networking that leaps over limits

KiNET our proprietary network protocol thinks big, expanding the scale and possibilities of lighting implementations. It goes beyond the limitations of other protocols, such as DMX, to enable larger lighting projects and more sophisticated lighting effects. Scalable and powerful, KiNET enables more luminaires per universe—and gives you more control over those luminaires. Though KiNET is our proprietary protocol, it adheres to Ethernet, DMX, and other industry standards for easy integration. That’s why you’ll find it in more than 50 control systems from other manufacturers.
