Intelligent White From Color Kinetics


While I hate shilling for particular products and brands. Color Kinetics (now owned by Philips) continues to push LED technology. The image shown here is an LED cove product boasting a new Intelligent White lighting system. The virtue of this system is the LED's can shift color (and I would assume brightness) from warm white (designated at 3000k) to cool (designated 6500k). The Achilles heel seems to be that the power supply and controller must be a proprietary CK controller which means no native DMX or third party controller. Still, the ability to mix white in field after the installation is an interesting one. I will do some research and see if anyone has had any luck using these in the field.
