Acolyte is excited to introduce a dynamic suite of pixel controls and related lighting fixtures that provide amazing scale with easy programming down to single LED pixels.
The controls feature SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) technology, a synchronized communication protocol used to rapidly transmit information from control systems to “peripherals” -- related products such as LED fixtures. Like DMX systems, SPI features “universes” made up of 512 channels with specific addresses. SPI controls can communicate at 60 frames per second – up to 800 times faster than DMX.
This allows simple programming and incredibly precise execution in diverse architectural lighting applications that range from exterior nodes to wall washers and grazers or from custom Pixel RibbonLyte fixtures to interior backlighting with revolutionary color changing presentations.
Controllers
Central to this system are three new control modules: the C4 Live, C4 Extended and PxLNet Controllers with built-in triggers for automated applications over long distances. Varied in size to fit custom installations, these controllers scale well to large jobs, providing a user-friendly programming experience with full functionality on any device (smart phone, tablet or computer). They allow you to control individual pixels in complex lighting projects. Compatible with SPI, DMX, 0-10V, Art-Net and WiFi, these systems offer a simple menu and wireless configuration to support 63 SPI protocols. Program with 8 bit or 16 bit dimming. Quickly create seamless loops, color scrolls and fade effects or adjust brightness, saturation, speed and hue and easily assign scenes to distinct locations.
These controllers can be deployed with several amazing new Acolyte addressable pixel fixtures that span several lighting applications.
Nodes
The 48V TriNode and 24V HexaNode are versatile single-point source RGB or RGBW fixtures that can be used to create unique pixel displays or to highlight architectural details.
TriNode modules feature three color changing LEDs while the more powerful
HexaNode modules use six. Both nodes are part of Acolyte’s Armor Series of exterior lighting products. They offer a choice of flat or globe lenses. Each string allows custom module quantities and spacing starting at 3.94 in. (100 mm).
Grazers
Also part of the Armor Series, our
Nano Pivot Fixtures are hinged grazers that provide flexibility in your lighting design. Create dramatic effects around cornices and curved facades, columns or landscaping. Each section of the Nano Pivot features 4 LEDs in a 5-in. (125 mm) pixel. There are 8 pixels in each 3.28 ft (1 m) chain. The Nano Pivot is available in two dimmable Static White CCTs (2700K, 4000K) with five beam angles. The
Nano Pivot RGBW features color changing pixels (3000K, 4000K) in two beam angle options that can be individually programmed for distinct scenes.
Flexible BackLyte
The Flexible BackLyte Addressable Sheet lets you program individual pixels with SPI controls for precision effects in interior backlighting applications. Each incredibly thin 12.6 x 18.9 in. (320 x 480 mm) sheet includes 96 RGB pixels spaced at just 1.6 in. (40 mm). Trim, bend and daisy chain each
Flexible BackLyte Addressable Sheet to create custom shapes. Cut around any obstacles!
Pixel Bar
The
Pixel Bar is a color changing RGBW fixture designed for façade and bridge illumination and installations that require seamless light. The Pixel Bar features 1.97 in. (50 mm) addressable pixels. Choose square or rounded acrylic diffuser lenses for a diode-free application. Available in three set sizes up to 4 ft (1200 mm) long.
Pixel RibbonLyte
Pixel RibbonLyte creates custom patterns of light that can be programmed to a single LED. With spacing at 0.66 in. (16.66 mm), program each RGB LED pixel individually with SPI controls to create the most precise moving effects, patterns, chases and more throughout large light displays. Control 18 pixels per foot (60 pixels per meter) at 5.3 W/ft (17.5 W/m) in this IP20 Pixel RibbonLyte. Create custom Pixel RibbonLyte fixtures with our wide selection of channel extrusions.
Our traditional
RGBW Addressable RibbonLyte also allows you to create completely customized patterns of light in 4 in. pixels that can be programmed for moving effects, patterns and chases in custom channel fixtures. This IP67 RibbonLyte provides superior color blending at 6 W/ft (19.7 W/m).
