| Color Kinetics enhances lighting systems range with new offering Color Kinetics Incorporated, a pioneer of intelligent solid-state lighting systems and technologies, today launched new product designed to support greater adaptability, ease-of-use, and streamlined installation for both white and color light applications. The new offerings range from an architectural control interface to versatile power/data supplies - rounding out the options for specifiers who recognize that, while LEDs continue to advance, the sources require complete, end-to-end systems in order to best realize their potential. iW Translator is a hardware interface that allows widely used architectural control systems to communicate with Color Kinetics' IntelliWhite™ series of white solid-state lighting systems. Conventional light sources in commercial and residential environments are commonly controlled by master control systems such as those from Lutron and Leviton. iW Translator provides a simple means of interoperability with these third-party control systems, making IntelliWhite products widely adaptable to existing environments. The compact device translates commands from third-party controllers to allow them to adjust the intensity and color temperature of IntelliWhite fixtures and lamps - a feature that is made possible today only by Color Kinetics. As a result, the same master controller that manages home theater systems, alarms and conventional light sources can now manage an intelligent white solid-state lighting system in the same environment. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
