Controlling LED Lighting 3
As digital light sources, LED lighting fixtures can be precisely controlled
with dimmers, push-button devices, wireless touchscreens, intelligent
phones, advanced software / hardware solutions, and building management
control systems. Philips Color Kinetics offers a full range of lighting control
systems that give you the freedom to realize your vision — whether you’re
lighting a countertop with a single white-light under-cabinet fixture,
or mounting a building-covering video display incorporating tens
of thousands individually controllable full-color LED nodes.
Control is freedom
Beyond Switching and Dimming
Traditionally, switching controls the operating time of a lighting xture
to darken spaces, conserve energy, and maximize lamp life. Dimming
varies the power to a lighting xture to create mood and atmosphere,
provide comfort, and lower energy consumption.
Like traditional light sources, our solid white (eW) and solid color
(eColor) LED lighting xtures can be switched with standard ON / OFF
switches and dimmed with selected commercially available reverse-
phase ELV-type dimmers.
Our intelligent color and intelligent white (iW) LED lighting xtures
incorporate multiple channels of LED light sources. The output
(brightness) of each channel can be independently varied with DMX- or
Ethernet-based control systems for purposes and effects that simply
cannot be achieved with conventional lighting xtures.
The Power of Digital Control and Automation
Our intelligent full-color LED lighting xtures natively produce millions
of saturated colors, which you can change automatically or at the touch
of a button. You can vary the color temperature of our iW LED lighting
xtures to highlight objects on display, to set the mood in a room, or to
change the atmosphere of a space.
Light shows and pre-programmed effects bring all the drama and
excitement of stage lighting to interior and exterior architectural
lighting. You can change the color output of all light xtures
simultaneously over time, or vary the output of different light xtures
simultaneously to create dynamic and intricate color patterns that
appear to move across sequences or grids of xtures.
Video controllers can coordinate tens of thousands of individually
controllable points of color-changing LED light for large-scale video
displays. Integration with media servers, audio systems, and advanced
control solutions can create interactive and immersive multimedia
experiences in interior and exterior spaces.
With full-featured control systems from Philips Color Kinetics, you can
create multiple zones to independently control groups of fixtures in
different locations for different application needs or to maximize energy
efficiency.
Control systems from Philips Color Kinetics can be tightly integrated
with building automation systems to increase worker productivity and
satisfaction, to create a comfortable and engaging work environment, to
add flexibility to multi-purpose spaces, to maximize energy savings, and to
comply with energy efficiency codes and legislation.
