Let ColorDyne design your tuneable spectrum LED circuit board for your application
CASE STUDY - LABORATORY LIGHTING
Customise your environment with tuneable spectrum integrative lighting
CHALLENGES
NPL's key requirements were:
Laboratory illumination with colours and wavelengths defined by NPL
Ability to exclude wavelengths that might incidentally activate their biometrology tools
Adjustment of individual colours to form any hybrid spectrum desired
Control of lighting from both a local and remote location
Ease of installation within the existing suspended ceiling
Maximisation of light output from the fitting
The challenge for us was to adapt our proven LED lightbox technology to a whole-of-room lighting application. We achieved this with our groundbreaking ColorZone Ceiling Tile.
SOLUTION
The NPL Biometrology laboratory and several other areas were fitted with ColorZone ceiling tiles with the following features:
Luminaire incorporating 6 user-defined LED wavelength channels
Single colour as well as multi-colour hybrid spectral mixes of light for laboratory illumination
Wavelength exclusion as needed
Local and remote control of lighting system using a simple ethernet topology
Optimal light efficiency using the ColorZone concept
Installation compatible with room ceiling infrastructure
Unique distinctive appearance
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
NPL was fully involved in developing the ColorZone Ceiling Tile at every stage, from initial consultation to installation. NPL defined the wavelengths for their laboratory lighting, and we used our proprietary ColorMatryx LED optimisation software to identify the appropriate LED selection. We then adapted our core LED lightbox technology and applied it within the ColorZone ceiling tile design. Rapid prototyping allowed for quick assessment and approval by NPL, including finalisation of the light diffuser, luminaire dimensions, and control method. This consultative approach facilitated product design and manufacture within a few months and an ongoing capability to supply a modular ceiling tile luminaire with custom wavelength selection on demand.
COLORZONE CEILING TILE AND APPLICATIONS
The ColorZone ceiling tile offers the ability to blend 18 LED light channels to generate custom light spectra for the room environment. It is compatible with industry-standard lighting control software and hardware. In addition, our own proprietary ColorMatryx software can be used for advanced colour functionality that includes precision light spectrum synthesis and sequencing.
In addition to laboratory and other scientific lighting applications, the ColorZone ceiling tile can create any desired spectrum, for example, D65 artificial daylight, tungsten halogen, circadian lighting, sleep lighting, and general mood lighting.
