Robert Altman, CEO, Altman Lighting told us: "When it comes to intelligent LED illumination, we recognize the distinct advantages of aligning with Color Kinetics, whose dominant intellectual property, technology, and expertise are unmatched in the field. We're pleased to announce this agreement in support of Altman's commitment to deliver high-quality, state-of-the-art products that meet the rigorous demands of today's foremost lighting designers and specifiers."
Bill Sims, President and COO of Color Kinetics, commented: "Altman is renowned for its market strength and expertise in theatrical and entertainment lighting, and we're pleased to help distinguish its product offerings through the powerful advantages of Color Kinetics' intelligent LED technology and integrated systems approach. This agreement further validates Color Kinetics' proven technology and supports our expansion strategy to meet wide-ranging market opportunities through select OEM and licensing relationships."
Chromacore is a pioneering technology that applies microprocessor-controlled, multicolored, high-brightness LEDs to generate 16.7 million colors and dynamic effects without the cost and efficiency constraints of conventional lighting methods. Altman will integrate this technology with a new line of lighting fixtures, including cyclorama and indoor/outdoor wall washing and par lights, to deliver the advantages of complete, intelligent control and unlimited creative potential for the use of color and color-changing effects in diverse applications. Like all Chromacore-based systems from Color Kinetics and its professional lighting partners, the new products will be compatible with Color Kinetics' line of controllers and have the benefits of ultra-long source life, low energy consumption, little heat, and no moving parts, noise, or UV emission. Altman will exhibit a wide range of the products at the LDI Show in Orlando, Florida in November.
