PDA is Now a Dealer of Philips Color Kinetics

Posted in Audio/Visual, Uncategorized on June 9th, 2009 by admin

What is Philips Color Kinetics?

LED Lighting Systems that not only deliver amazing energy efficiency, lower overall cost and longer lifetimes, but also have the ability to intelligently control the LED’s, generating millions of colors and many effects. They do require a larger investment up front than conventional systems, but the savings on energy expenses well surpasses the investment difference. Also, less replacement, less waste, and many possibilities for installations.

 

Applications:

Retail and Display, Hotels, Restaurants, Healthcare Facilities, Theatre and Entertainment

 

Examples of Efficiency:

LAX Airport: $73k to $18k in energy expenditures

Historic Boathoue Row: Expected annual operating costs savings:  $57k

Hardrock Hotel and Casino: Went from $18,000 per year to $1,900 per year for architectural lighting

Bostonian Retailer:  Color Kinetics’ iW Profile was chosen by Bostonian, the specialty men’s footwear brand, for a multiple store roll-out in the U.S. LED lighting mitigates electrical costs by consuming less power and radiating very little if any heat, which in turn lowers expenses and energy consumed by cooling.

 

Learn More:

The PDA Design and Installation Team is a great resource for more information about technologies and applications. We work closely with architects, contractors and interior designers to deliver customized systems that include lighting, audio, video and control.
