CK announced the re burning along the famous Philadelphia boat house (Figure)

Color Kinetics Incorporated (CK) is the world leader in the development of intelligent solid state lighting systems and technologies, the company announced its significant lighting technology to re ignite the famous Philadelphia Row (Boathouse). A new LED based lighting system was shown on Thursday, June 30th, at a public ceremony. With more than 30 years old incandescent lighting system before replacing the lighting system, can be expected to save Philadelphia Fairmount Park Commission each year (Fairmount Park Commission) approximately $57000 in operating costs.

Philadelphia's famous landmarks along the boathouse by 10 composed of 12 boat club, a variety of unique buildings along the river bank Shuyueqier (Schuylkill River) Bangshui built half a mile. Before replacing the lighting system, the city Fairmount Park Commission every year to spend up to $50000 and $8000 bulb replacement cost in energy costs. The new lighting system contains more than 12 thousand separate Color Kinetics iColor Flex SL (a flexible LED based "light string") which can control the node. Each node is tailored by the CK's Chromasic microcontroller to drive the microchip, in addition to a single white light, allowing complex, colorful lighting fixtures in order to match the previous incandescent lighting system. The LED based system has the characteristics of long light source life, durable durability and energy consumption reduction.

Pennell & Wiltberger (PWI) Shannon Yott and Troy A joint treatment of architectural lighting design and specifications. Shannon Yott said: "we already know that the LED energy efficiency, life and control, so that the LED lamp has become the ideal light source engineering, CK technology and even beyond our imagination, the use of lighting system based on LED, we not only save the operation cost, but also can quickly and easily according to the occasion do the special effects -- the choice is incandescent lighting of the old system cannot provide".

In order to show the excellent performance of new lighting system, a series of dynamic color display light luxury by Martin-O Shia and his team 'creation and planning, red, white and blue effect has also been in the July 4th show. The lighting display is authorized and controlled by the lighting system manager, and the CK Ethernet based software / hardware solution promotes the authorization, management and control of the complex installation program. This complex installation includes thousands of separate controlled LED nodes.
