Today, we looked at COLORBEAM Lighting unique control program and new RGBW+Tunable white fixture:
Low voltage fully controllable light fixtures
All the fixtures are available in a range of 1800 CCT to 4000 CCT
NOW RGBW + fully tunable White
The concept is being able to control scenes easily using a DMX controller
The gateway allows their system to communicate with other none DMX systems have to assign the addressable drivers
Gateway is universal, with 120 channels
They have pre-programmed drivers for other systems like Lutron
No Data cable, just DC power cable and 1 channel for everything - Example: 2 channels for warm dim : 1 for cool White, 1 for the warm white
For RGBW, there would be 4 channels
Smooth dimming to 1%
They created their own IP addressed - web app requires for programming
Lutron System:
Homeworks QS with keypads in different spaces.
Their processor seats on their system and incorporated without a hiccup, as if we are controlling and setting Lutron
They use integrated scene-setting for control. The lighting designer just has to configure the scenes, set the tunes and color, and luck them.
Crestron needs an additional component to translate.
Homeowners would not be able to change the setting without calling the integrator. Log in to the color beam configurator app and set the settings and levels.
Distance from the fixtures to drivers: With TYP. Cat6 distance is around 200ft to 300ft.
Their advantage is category cable instead of AC wire which reduce the cost, and they are among the few that offer full tunable and color changing
