COLOR KINETICS Archi Point Powerful Point Day or Night

ArchiPoint

Use our exceptionally powerful points of light to get attention—day or night.

Make a big impact with a powerful but compact exterior LED luminaire

ArchiPoint iColor Powercore is the right choice when you want a large, powerful point of light that can be seen from a distance—even across an entire city. This daylight-visible, exterior-rated LED luminaire lets you create high-visibility direct-view installations with high-output illuminance.
But the high-intensity output is just one of the many strengths that ArchiPoint brings to lighting designers, building owners, municipalities, and others who need a lot of light.
We designed ArchiPoint to be a single point (or pixel) of intelligent color light. While a pixel may sound small, ArchiPoint is all about big output—up to an impressive 25,150 nits of intelligent color light in a weatherproof, low- profile housing. It’s a proven success, performing flawlessly at high-profile, large-scale sites and enhancing skylines around the world. ArchiPoint excels in direct view installations.

A direct-view luminaire that gets to the point
ArchiPoint is part of our family of direct-view lighting solutions, which creates addressable points and lines of light that transform buildings from dull to dazzling—and attract attention. Direct-view luminaires represent a different approach to lighting. While traditional illumination delivers light on surfaces, with direct-view, the light itself is the main focus. Mounted directly on the surface of a structure, our direct-view luminaires send out points and lines of light that outline office towers, create stunning color effects on casino façades, display video on stadiums—and give lighting designers the chance to let their artistic imaginations run wild.

Color Kinetics ArchiPoint Product Guide
For large-scale direct-view projects that demand the brightest point of light available, there’s only one real choice—ArchiPoint.
No matter how you use them, ArchiPoint luminaires get noticed, even in daylight. They deliver high-output light and a full range of color. They’re simple to install and reliable to operate. And smart design and meticulous manufacturing make ArchiPoint exceptionally rugged, so it can withstand even the harshest conditions—year after year.

What makes ArchiPoint different?

Take a look at ArchiPoint and the first thing you’ll notice is how well- designed and rugged this heavy-duty luminaire is—even before it’s delivering light. But that’s just the beginning of the many strengths that differentiate this remarkably bright, versatile luminaire.

Maximum Output for Daylight Visibility
It isn’t easy to outshine daylight. But ArchiPoint outputs up to 25,150 nits (candela per square meter) of intelligent color light. That’s an amazing amount of light, enough to stand out in brightly lit urban environments and daylight—even in direct sunlight.

Intelligent Color
ArchiPoint delivers intensely saturated RGB color light, giving you the color you need—delivered with high output that ensures it gets noticed.

Our advanced technologies raise the bar

Color Kinetics is setting new standards for consistency
and accuracy by developing advanced technologies that are integrated into our luminaires, including Blast gen4. These technologies work together to deliver the ever-escalating levels of accuracy and performance required by our customers—and their innovative and ambitious projects.

Optibin
Our LED optimization technology begins the color consistency process by grouping (or binning) LEDs by flux as well as center wavelength. This proprietary binning optimization process uses an advanced bin selection formula that exceeds industry standards for chromaticity. The result? Higher uniformity and consistency of hue and color temperature for all our luminaires. Integrated into all ArchiPoint luminaires.

Powercore
Our patented approach to power output proves
that simple is better. As well as faster, more efficient, and accurate. Powercore controls power output to luminaires directly from line voltage. It merges line voltage with control data and delivers both over a single standard cable—dramatically simplifying installation and lowering total system cost. Integrated into all ArchiPoint luminaires.

Exceptional lighting takes more than a luminaire

To unlock the full potential of your ArchiPoint luminaires, you need the right components to power and control them. Color Kinetics completes your solution with:

Controllers
Our broad line of controllers brings you differing capabilities that match your specific needs, the complexity of your project, and your budget. Our controllers offer the industry-standard DMX protocol or our proprietary, scalable KiNET protocol for Ethernet networks. Because of addressing limitations, DMX is appropriate for relatively simple installations, or for light shows in which multiple ArchiPoint luminaires operate in unison. Because it is not subject to DMX addressing limitations, Ethernet is the preferred environment for intricate color-changing light shows. And ArchiPoint Powercore can also be used with third-party controllers.

Power/Data Supplies
All ArchiPoint luminaires accept either DMX or Ethernet input and 100 to 277 VAC power from Data Enabler Pro.

Monitoring and Management
Interact Landmark (formerly Philips ActiveSite) is the first-ever cloud-hosted connected lighting system for architectural LED lighting installations. Interact Landmark allows you to remotely monitor, manage, and maintain an installation site from anywhere in the world, using a secure web connection.

ArchiPoint showcase Enhancing the beauty of an iconic bridge
Vietnam’s Bai Chay Bridge is the widest cable-stayed, single-plane concrete bridge in the world. To highlight the dramatic beauty of the bridge’s design, it’s illuminated with Color Kinetics dynamic color LED luminaires that reflect off the bay at night. ArchiPoint iColor Powercore luminaires deliver direct- view lighting along the spans of the bridge, while other Color Kinetics luminaires provide grazing and spotlighting of its cables, pillars, and other details.

Lighting a dome that can be seen for miles
It’s hard to miss the Color Kinetics dynamic lighting installation on the peak of the Tour Part-Dieu, Lyon’s tallest building. The four-sided pyramid at the tower’s peak is covered with 180 ArchiPoint iColor luminaires, which serve as individually addressable points of light that can display flowing washes of color, white light, low-resolution video, and text.

Accentuating an iconic tower
The Da Nang Administrative Center stands out in the skyline of Da Nang, one of Vietnam’s largest cities and a major tourist hub. The building’s glass façade and unique design makes it ideal for direct-view lighting. Mounted on the frame of the building, more than 270 ArchiPoint iColor Powercore fixtures (fitted with translucent dome lenses) follow the sweeping lines that stretch down the façade.

Configuration and planning

Regardless of the size and complexity of your installation, the planning time you spend up front can help streamline the installation and configuration of your luminaires. Keep these points in mind as you plan your installation:
You may be a lighting designer who wants to tap the power of video, a municipality that wants to turn a landmark into an icon, or a building owner/manager who wants to draw attention to your office tower, stadium, casino, or other structure. Before you dive into video, there are some initial questions you need to ask yourself, key elements you’ll need to create
a complete solution, and some specific technical considerations that you need to address by reading Color Kinetics Video Guideline.
Create a lighting design plan that identifies and locates all luminaires, Data Enabler Pro devices,
and controllers. Use Configuration Calculator to determine how many luminaires you can install in a single run, and the maximum distances between Data Enabler Pro devices, luminaires, and controllers. ArchiPoint luminaires operate in 8-bit mode by default. To address luminaires, including switching between 8-bit mode and 16-bit mode, download QuickPlay Pro. Determine whether to address luminaires and configure your lighting system offline or interactively. With offline configuration, you stage and configure your system off-site, prior to installation. Offline configuration can be convenient when luminaires are to be installed in multiple locations or locations with difficult access. Interactive configuration is typically performed by an experienced technician, after luminaires have been installed. The interactive method can save time, since you only connect and test your luminaires once.
