Installation
ColorBurst 6 projects rich, saturated colors and color-changing effects both indoors
and outdoors. A low-voltage Luminaire, ColorBurst 6 is intended for use with the
power/data supplies PDS 150e 24V and PDS-60 24V from Philips Color Kinetics. You
can mount ColorBurst 6 to the optional Mounting Base, or to a junction box.
Owner / User Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, purchaser, owner, and user to
install, maintain, and operate ColorBurst 6 Luminaires in such a manner as to comply
with all applicable codes, state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations. Consult
with the appropriate electrical inspector to ensure compliance.
Installing in Damp or Wet Locations
When installing in damp or wet locations, it is good practice to seal all Luminaires
and junction boxes with electronics-grade RTV silicone sealant to ensure that
moisture cannot enter or accumulate in wiring compartments, cables, or other
electrical parts. You must use suitable outdoor-rated junction boxes when installing
in damp or wet
locations. Additionally, you must use gaskets, clamps, and other parts
required for installation to comply with all applicable local and national codes.
Create a Lighting Design Plan
and Layout Grid
1. Determine the appropriate location of each power/data supply in relation to the
Luminaires, and of the Luminaires in relation to each other. Refer to the power/
data supply’s Installation Instructions or Specification Sheet for guidelines on
configuring and positioning the power/data supply in relation to the controller.
2. You can install ColorBurst 6 Luminaires to the optional Mounting Base, or to a
102 mm (4 in) round U.S. electrical junction box suitable for your application.
3. You can connect up to six ColorBurst 6 Luminaires to each PDS-150e, or up
to two ColorBurst 6 Luminaires to each PDS-60. The Mounting Base includes
a native 18.3 m (60 ft) power/data cable, Using 18 AWG, 3-conductor stranded
copper wire, you can extend the cabling for each individual Luminaire to a
maximum length of 45.7 m (150 ft), as long as the total cable length for each
power / data supply does not exceed 121.9 m (400 ft).
4. On an architectural diagram or other diagram that shows the physical layout of
the installation, identify the locations of all switches, controllers, power supplies,
Luminaires, and cables.
5. Each ColorBurst 6 Luminaire comes pre-programmed with a unique serial number.
As you unpack the Luminaires, record the serial numbers in a layout grid (typically
a spreadsheet or list) for easy reference and light addressing.
6. Assign each Luminaire to a position in the lighting design plan.
7. To streamline installation and aid in light show programming, you can affix a
weatherproof label identifying the order or placement in the installation to an
inconspicuous location on each light Luminaire’s housing.
