Color Kinetics® iColor® Accent is a direct view indoor/outdoor linear light. Available in 1-, 4-, and
8- foot lengths, each segment can be interconnected to create long columns of color to highlight the
outside of buildings or to accent displays in retail applications. Because iColor Accent has a diffused
lens specifically designed for direct viewing, it can be used to create stunning effects in commercial
and residential applications.
Designed to meet the rugged requirements of outdoor applications, iColor Accent is completely
sealed and meets specifications for wet locations. It comes equipped with adjustable mounting brackets, which makes it extremely versatile and easily adaptable for even the most creative mounting
environments.
iColor Accent is a harmonious blend of art and functionality. Modern and sophisticated, the housing combines a protective UV resistant and diffused plastic lens and a rugged support of extruded
anodized aluminum. The diffused plastic lens provides a 250˚ viewing angle of uniform color mixing
brilliance. iColor Accent is designed with translucent ends to allow for uninterrupted columns of color.
Each unit is pre-wired with over-molded locking connectors to supply both power and data to the light
and simplify installation.
iColor Accent can be controlled by a Color Kinetics controller or a third-party controller. Each fixture
contains one, four, or eight light segments, depending on the size. Each segment is programmed
with a serial number and addressed sequentially beginning with light number one at the time of
manufacture. For example, a four-foot fixture is addressed with light numbers one through four. With
a controller, address all segments to the same light number for simple effects such as fixed color and
color wash. Other effects across multiple lights, including Chasing Rainbow or Color Sweep, require
further addressing using one of the following Color Kinetics addressing tools: Serialized Addressing
Software (SAS) or Zapi.

LED Source Life
In traditional lamp sources, lifetime is defined as the point at which 50% of the lamps fail. This is also termed Mean
Time Between Failure [MTBF]. LEDs are semiconductor devices and have a much longer MTBF than conventional
sources. However, MTBF is not the only consideration in determining useful life. Color Kinetics uses the concept of
useful light output for rating source lifetimes. Like traditional sources, LED output degrades over time (lumen depreciation) and this is the metric for SSL lifetime.
LED lumen depreciation is affected by numerous environmental conditions such as ambient temperature, humidity,
and ventilation. Lumen depreciation is also affected by means of control, thermal management, current levels, and
a host of other electrical design considerations. Color Kinetics systems are expertly engineered to optimize LED life
when used under normal operating conditions. Lumen depreciation information is based on LED manufacturers’
source life data as well as other third party testing. Low temperatures and controlled effects have a beneficial effect
on lumen depreciation. Overall system lifetime could vary substantially based on usage and the environment in
which the system is installed.
Temperature and effects will affect lifetime. Color Kinetics rates product lifetime using lumen depreciation to 50% of
original light output. When the fixture is running at room temperature using a color wash effect, the range of lifetime
is in the range of 30,000-50,000 hours. This is LED manufacturers’ test data. For more detailed information on
source life, please see www.colorkinetics.com/lifetime.

optibin®
There are inherent variations in the fabrication processes of all semiconductor materials. For LEDs, this variance results in differences in the color and intensity of light output as well as electrical characteristics. Due to these differences, LED manufacturers sort production into “bins,” but insuring the availability of a single bin is very
difficult. To minimize this issue and achieve optimal color consistency in its products, Color Kinetics has developed and uses a proprietary technology called Optibin.
Optibin is an advanced production binning optimization process that minimizes the effects of LED variance for the best possible output uniformity in the final product.
Color Kinetics Optibin technology gives the most consistent control of color and intensity from product to product.
