Lexel LED LX-1000 system is designed for general lighting applications where perfectly controllable light and dynamic environments with flexible scene setting are required. It is used as the main component of Philips ColorSpot Lightolier SSL luminaire.
Lexel LED LX-1000 is a system with an architecture based on two modules communicating through a proprietary lighting protocol (T-Bus):
- External Protocol Translator (accepts DMX or DALI) and Power Supply
- Light Generation Module (light engine)
Applications:
- Retail – shop windows, mannequin islands
- Museum and galleries
- Multi-purpose rooms
