Chroma-Q Color Span LED Fixture Provides a Vast Range of Configurable Options

September 2, 2008 05:21

The Chroma-Q® LED lighting range has been extended with the launch of the new Color Span™ – a configurable low profile, ultra bright LED cove lighting and wall wash system for wide ranging applications.

The Color Span gives lighting designers, specifiers and end users the flexibility to specify many aspects of its design to meet their particular application needs, including selecting from a choice of IP rating, body length, body color, LED colors, and optics options.

First, specify for indoor (IP20) or outdoor (IP67) rated use. Then choose from 400mm/16″, 800mm/32″, or 1200mm/48″ body lengths, and one of 10 body colors, including stock Black, White or Silver. Next, specify the LED colors from RGBA, single color Red, Green, Blue, Amber, Cool White, Warm White, or any color combination. Finally, choose from narrow, medium or wide beam angle optics.

This vast range of configurations, combined with a very powerful 1500 lumens output per 1.2m / 4 foot and ultra slim design, makes the Color Span suitable for a wide range of wall wash, cove, effects and feature lighting applications in the architectural and entertainment sectors.

As well as benefitting from the same high quality components and innovative LED technologies found in other leading Chroma-Q LED products, the fixture’s highly efficient solid-state technology requires less power and maintenance compared to conventional luminaires, enabling it to wash a 21.6m / 72 foot long wall from just a single wall outlet.

The Color Span’s single LED cell features 16 (400mm length), 32 (800mm) or 48 (1200mm) separate LEDs arranged as sets of 4 channel control circuits in a linear batten formation, with a choice of power supplies for up to 6 or 18 full-length fixtures.

Connection to the power supply is by RJ45/Ethercon, with a choice of DMX or standalone control modes. The power supplies’ built in variable effects engine provides a range of 99 pre-programmed looks and parameters, including scroll, grouping, speed and fade. In addition, strobing and other chase effects can be achieved when connecting multiple Color Span units together. The fixture also has a very smooth, linear dimming curve.

In optional 4-channel RGBA (*Magic Amber) configuration, the Color Span automatically and seamlessly blends the Amber alongside the RGB LEDs. By adding Amber to the color-mixing process, a better range of warmer colors can be achieved, resulting in an enhanced color gamut and therefore superior color rendition index (up to 82%).

The Color Span comes supplied with a versatile angle bracket for wall, ceiling or floor mounting in a variety of permanent installations.
