Color Kinetics is setting new standards

for consistency and accuracy by

developing advanced technologies

that are integrated into our luminaires,

including ReachElite. These technologies

work together to deliver the ever-

escalating levels of accuracy and

performance required by our

customers—and their innovative and

ambitious projects.

To find out how innovative technologies within our advanced luminaires can help you do more,visit

www.colorkinetics.com/Learn.

Optibin

Our LED optimization technology begins the color con-

sistency process by grouping (or binning) LEDs by flux

as well as center wavelength. This proprietary binning

optimization process uses an advanced bin selection

formula that exceeds industry standards for chromatici-

ty. The result? Higher uniformity and consistency of hue

and color temperature for all our luminaires. Integrated

into all ReachElite luminaires.

IntelliHue

Our advanced approach to color mixing produces high-

quality white light, subtle pastels, and fully saturated

colors in the same precisely controllable luminaire. All

with unrivaled color accuracy across the entire range

of color temperatures. Available on ReachElite

IntelliHue luminaires.

Chromasync

Our advanced output optimization technology controls

and boosts output while ensuring color consistency.

When enabled, Chromasync ensures excellent color

consistency between luminaires, without manually

adjusting color points on each luminaire. And it ensures

the same lumen output across all color temperatures.

Integrated into ReachElite color luminaires only.

Powercore

Our patented approach to power output proves that

simple is better. As well as faster, more efficient, and

accurate. Powercore controls power output to luminaires

directly from line voltage. It merges line voltage with

control data and delivers both over a single standard

cable—dramatically simplifying installation

and lowering total system cost. Integrated into all

ReachElite luminaires.

17Color Kinetics ReachElite Product Guide

Delivering lumens exactly where you want them

LED luminaires are commonly marketed by their

lumen output, or how much light they emit. Punch,

on the other hand, which is essentially how much of

the emitted light is delivered to a targeted area, is not

often discussed when describing LED luminaires. The

difference between lumen output and punch is simple:

Lumen output is the amount of light emitted from a

luminaire, while punch is how much of that light goes

where you want it. These two specifications are related,

but illustrate two very different characteristics of a LED

luminaire.

Flood lights are generally used to illuminate large areas,

so lumen output far out weights punch. On the other

hand, a spot light used to direct light on a specific area

is more effective with a high amount of punch. Lumen

output is important, but it is far less valuable if the

majority of the light isn’t hitting your target.

ReachElite provides the best of both worlds by offering

a truly unprecedented amount of punch in a LED

luminaire. ReachElite’s native beam angle of 2.6°, as

well as with the 5° diffuser lens, delivers light to an

extremely precise target area with an exceptionally

high punch rate. The high punch rate is the due to the

narrowness of the beam angle. The tighter the beam,

the more concentrated the light is. A wider angle more

typical of a standard flood light can be achieved by

adding a 10°, 20°, 40°, 60°, or 80° diffuser lens to the

luminaire. But if you want high punch, keeping the

angle below 5° will yield incredible results.

LM-79-08 is an approved standard for measuring

electrical and photometric data of Solid-State Lighting

(SSL) products. One of three types of goniometers are

used to measure the data of the luminaire:

Type A—Luminaire rotates on the horizontal axis

while fixed on the vertical axis (used for automotive

lighting).

Type B—Luminaire rotates on the vertical axis while

fixed on the horizontal axis (used for display and

flood lighting).

Type C—Same as Type B, except that the luminaire

burning position remains unchanged (recommended

for general lighting systems).

Although ideal for most luminaires, Type C goniometers

are not designed to measure large luminaires with

narrow beam angles 5° and under like ReachElite.

Whereas most luminaires project light across a

larger area up to a certain distance, luminaires with

narrow beam angles like ReachElite send light to a

smaller, more concentrated area further away. Type C

goniometers can make photometric measurements

of narrow beam luminaires, but the readings will only

show a portion of the luminaire’s Luminous Intensity

Distribution as Type C goniometers only measure up

to 60 ft.

Accurate testing

For luminaires with narrow beam angles that throw

light out to distances of up to 100 ft and beyond,

Type C goniometers do not illustrate and capture the

luminaire’s full capabilities.

Commonly used on automobile head lights, Type A

goniometers are designed to measure long, narrow

beams of light up to 100 ft away, making them ideal

for LED luminaires like ReachElite. A luminaire with

a beam angle under 5° is designed to send light to a

precise target area at substantial distance, so a Type A

goniometer is better suited to illustrate this than a Type

C goniometer. A byproduct of the distance required for

Type A goniometer testing is the increased resolution of

the light beam. A measurement over a longer distance

is able to capture all of the granular increments of a

light beam.

As the LED lighting industry enters a new and exciting

“shaping of light” phase, luminaires like ReachElite

perform in ways thought impossible only a few years

ago. With innovation comes new applications, but also

the need for updated testing methods. Historically the

lighting industry has not seen luminaires with such

significantly narrow beam angles, but as they gain

acceptance it is important to establish photometric

testing methods that provide complete, accurate, and

reliable information.

Controllers

Our broad line of controllers brings you

differing capabilities that match your specific

needs, the complexity of your project,

and your budget. Our controllers offer the

industry-standard DMX protocol, or our

proprietary, scalable KiNET protocol for

Ethernet networks. Because of addressing

limitations, DMX is appropriate for relatively

simple installations, or for light shows in

which multiple ReachElite luminaires

operate in unison.

Because it is not subject to DMX addressing

limitations, Ethernet is the preferred

environment for intricate color-changing light

shows. And ReachElite can also be used with

third-party controllers.

Power/Data Supplies

All ReachElite luminaires accept either DMX or

Ethernet input and 100 to 277 VAC power from

Data Enabler Pro.
