Color Kinetics C-200

The LED technology of Color Kinetics does not require filters or mechanical parts. There is no danger of overheating, the fixtures don't need servicing and last for 100.000 hours. 

In the beginning of 2001 Color Kinetics introduced ColorScape, the world's first line of digital color changing lighting especially for pools and spas. Color Kinetics ColorScape products are easy to install in a standard pool or spa, and may be controlled to provide colored light and dynamic color changing lighting effects via the Chromacore digital lighting technology, which utilizes microprocessor-controlled, multi-colored LEDs (light emitting diodes) to generate colored light and lighting effects. The first products in the ColorScape Series are ColorScape 7 and ColorScape 22, both digital color changing retrofit lamps for spas and above ground pools.
While the ColorScape products aim more at the private pool owner, Color Kinetics is well known in the professional lighting industry providing their LED-based lighting constructions for various applications ranging from colored walls in bars, hotels or discos to road shows with limited truss-space or shop illumination.
C-200 WaterColor fixtures are a solution for outdoor and underwater installations. C-200 WaterColor-H has an aluminum hard-coat housing created for wet and damp usage, making it ideal for outdoor applications, while C-200 WaterColor-U has a stainless steel finish, that is submersible to three feet in any type of water. Both feature a  tempered clear glass  lens and mounting yoke. A hardwired unified power and data cable requires minimal wiring.
C-200 Track provides a streamlined solution for architecturally rich installations. Available in black and white finishes, these lights present a clean design, using unobtrusive fixture mounts with three-circuit track hardware. C-200 Track fixtures have a yoke construction containing a dedicated power supply, as well as an adapter for mounting the light into the track. This adapter passes both power and data to the light through a hardwired unified power and data cable.
Data Masseuse uses a Color Kinetics patent-pending technology to "massage" DMX512 data to C-200 Track fixtures, keeping signals clear and strong. There is no need for repeater ports or strict DMX512 termination requirements; even with dozens of fixtures, Data Masseuse prevents data corruption. Data Masseuse also permits C-200 Track to be arranged in almost any topology, including any number of branches or Ts.
C-200 Security is another variant of  the C-200, with the added feature of a sealed back-plate and hardwired unified power and data cable, protecting configuration switches and connectors from public access.
