Light System Manager Environments
Multi-zone Installation
Headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, Philips Color Kinetics is a global LED
lighting innovation and product design center for Philips. The 50,000 square ft (4,645
square m) office, laboratory, and showroom space utilizes LED lighting technology
throughout. Light System Manager manages the LED lighting zones in the building,
including the lobby, conference rooms, work spaces, exterior signage, and product
demonstration areas.
Lighting Zone Details
The lobby space features subtly animated light shows displayed on both RGB and
white LED lighting systems. 20 unique shows ranging in duration from 10 minutes
to 12 hours gently scroll across the ceiling, wall surfaces, and alcoves. Additionally,
the fixtures installed directly above the reception desk are controlled by LSM as a
separate region within the lobby zone, allowing for warm white illumination focused
on the receptionist work space and visitor seating area, as needed.
How it Works
LSM uses two-dimensional maps to identify and control the lighting components in
each lighting zone. The lobby map, for example, contains four rectangular clusters of
fixtures, varying in size. The large rectangular area corresponds to the main ceiling,
and the smaller rectangular areas match the wall adjacent to the elevator, the ceiling
adjacent to the elevator, and the wall behind the reception desk.

The lobby map allows LSM to accurately display light shows according to the
position of each fixture. Based on a schedule, LSM continuously scrolls images (.BMP,
.JPG) across the lobby map, creating a seamless animated effect. Because each image
is configured to be larger than the map dimensions, only a portion of the image is
displayed at any given time.
Playback Controls
Once set up, the LSM functions as a standalone device that automatically displays
one or more scheduled light shows in each lighting zone. The lobby schedule calls for
unique shows each day of the week and on certain holidays. Additionally, Ethernet
Controller Keypads installed in multiple locations allow users to override a scheduled
lobby show at the touch of a button and select from eight additional choices.
