Date Announced: 16 Dec 2010 San Marcos, TX – Philips Wide-Lite, a leading manufacturer of sustainable lighting products, unveils a new family of indoor and outdoor RGB LED floodlights that allows users to simply paint with light – thanks to four levels of dynamic color-mixing control.Designers seeking to better integrate lighting solutions with dynamic color mixing schemes now have the flexibility and diversity to do so, thanks to the innovative Color-Tune technology that TAG offers. Color-Tune allows the user to control everything directly at the fixture. Simply power up a TAG luminaire for the first time and 16 million color possibilities are available. Push the Color-Tune button to lock your desired color in place, or continue pushing to cycle through twelve pre-set color choices around the color wheel, including white. No secondary DMX control systems are required. TAG offers two distinct levels of push-button Color-Tune technology that are plug-and-play ready, allowing for dynamic, simple and affordable color control:Level-1 Color-Tune control allows the user to control each RGB luminaire independently at each fixture location.Level-2 Color-Tune control allows the user to control a string of multiple fixtures from a single ‘Master’ fixture location by simply daisy-chaining TAG’s DMX control wires.For designers that want DMX compatibility:Level-3 Color Control uses TAG’s standalone and simple-to-use ColorDial DMX wall-mounted controller, which features eight pre-programmed lighting effects. It offers more control than Color-Tune by itself, without the need for a complete DMX system.Level-4 Color Control employs TAG’s full DMX compatibility for professional and theatrical effects with almost any off-the-shelf DMX control system and software, giving designers the freedom to choose any DMX package they want. “Color mixing has often been ruled out as a design consideration due to the need for secondary DMX control systems, which can be both costly and complicated to maintain,” said Terry Headrick, Product Director for Philips Wide-Lite. “We developed TAG to provide a simple and dynamic LED color-mixing alternative. And with our unique push-button Color-Tune technology, the ability to create dramatic effects with color has never been easier.”TAG architectural high-brightness white and RGB color-mixing LED floodlighting products are available in both round and linear housings with five optical choices to choose from, giving designers additional choice and flexibility.For more information about the complete TAG product line and Color-Tune technology, visit www.widelite.comFurthering Philips’ company-wide commitment to sustainability, TAG benefits from the company’s Cradle to Cradle (C2C) product recycling assistance program.
