Lamina offers multiple lines of LED light engine and driver OEM components directly to third-party manufacturers and through a network of distributors. Its components power the LED lighting fixtures of more than 100 companies. Through the agreement, Lamina can offer its customers a licensed solution that provides the valuable features made possible by digital intelligence, such as additive colour mixing through DMX control, among other innovations covered by Color Kinetics' patent portfolio. Lamina customers who develop fixtures based on the Color Kinetics-licensed components will be covered under Lamina's license as well.
"Lamina has established itself as the primary source for unsurpassed light intensity, with the ability to provide over 1,000 lumens from a single LED light engine," said Frank Shinneman, President and CEO of Lamina Ceramics. "This agreement allows us to take our capabilities to a new level by adding, for the first time, digital colour control to general illumination."
"We're very pleased to assist Lamina in its efforts to help drive the use of LED technology, which continues to advance faster than any other form of lighting today," said Bill Sims, President and CEO, Color Kinetics. "The accelerating growth of our Licensing business is testament to the strength and breadth of our IP - the result of nearly a decade in researching and developing the core technologies that make intelligent LED lighting viable in numerous markets."
