Color Kinetics Awarded US Synchronized Lighting Effects Patent
Color Kinetics has announced that it has been awarded a patent relating to the synchronization of intelligent solid-state lighting systems and effects.
Issued 5th October, US patent number 6,801,003 covers certain systems and methods for synchronizing lighting effects between various LED-based lighting systems without the use of a network. For example, one means for synchronizing lights is monitoring fluctuations in the power that is delivered. The patent covers methods that are applied today in pool and spa lighting systems, and has potential for use in other fields such as specifier-grade architectural lighting, retail and display lighting, and consumer products that require the intelligence for synchronized lighting effects without the network infrastructure.
“The issuance of this latest patent reflects Color Kinetics’ pioneering efforts in developing technologies and techniques that realize the potential of LEDs as an inherently intelligent light source,” said George Mueller, chairman and CEO, Color Kinetics. “The ability to synchronize LED-based lighting effects without the use of a network represents another innovation in intelligent control, and allows for wider-ranging applications in both new and existing lighting environments.”
