Dynamic and Inviting Interiors
with ColorBurst 6
Although ColorBurst 6 is designed with a fully-sealed die-cast aluminium housing for
use in exterior and wet locations, its small footprint, focused beam, and ease
of installation make it the perfect choice for indoor spotlighting and accent lighting
as well.
Spotlight on the Folsom Library
The Richard G. Folsom Library on the Troy, New York, campus of Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute (RPI) had not been renovated since its opening in 1976. RPI
recognized the need for a refurbishment
that would make its main library more
user-friendly and inspire and attract
students, researchers, and others.
The lighting designer drafted a creative
plan with an emphasis on color-changing
accent lighting and spotlighting. To make
the library more open and inviting, light
show colors were designed to dynamically
interact with the changing climate of
upstate New York, displaying warm
colors during the cold winter months,
cool colors in the summer, greens in the
spring, and orange colors in the fall.
The library uses a variety of Philips
color-changing LED lighting Luminaires
throughout — to lend color to computer
hubs and work areas, for example.
ColorBurst Luminaires are used to
accentuate an inverted world map,
specially designed for the renovation,
which provides a dramatic backdrop for
the library’s circulation desk.
A single Philips Color Kinetics DMX
controller gives library staff complete
control over all of the lighting Luminaires
and light shows, both static and dynamic,
throughout the library. In addition to
providing an inviting atmosphere year-
round, Philips LED lighting benefits the
library through low energy consumption
and minimal maintenance costs as
compared with the traditional lighting
sources formerly in place.
