| Intelligent LED Illumination System: General Specifications |
- The Contractor shall furnish the complete LED-based lighting system as described in the architectural details. It shall be manufactured by Color Kinetics Incorporated, or approved equal.
- The LED system shall be capable of at least 8-bit control of red, green and blue LEDs to produce 16.7 million colors or more.
- The LED system shall be digitally driven using high-speed pulse width modulation (PWM).
- The LED system shall be digitally driven using noise shaping pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques.
- The LED fixture shall be operated at constant and carefully regulated current levels. LEDs shall not be overdriven beyond their specified nominal voltage and current.
- The LED system shall use integral and differential nonlinear control.
- The LED system shall use 14-bit or greater nonlinear scaling techniques for high-resolution output.
- Constant data transmission rates shall be employed, resulting in the output being independent of distance of cable between power supply and light source within the specified length.
- The LED fixture shall be operated at constant and carefully regulated current levels. LEDs shall not be overdriven beyond their specified nominal voltage and current.
- High power LED fixture shall be thermally protected using one or more of the following thermal management techniques: metal core board, gap pad, and/or internal monitoring firmware.
- For wet and damp use, LED-based fixture itself shall be sealed, rated, and tested for appropriate environmental conditions, not accomplished by using an additional housing or enclosure.
- LED fixture housing shall be designed to transfer heat from the LED board to the outside environment.
- All hardwired connections to LED fixtures shall be reverse polarity protected and provide high voltage protection in the event connections are reversed or shorted during the installation process.
- All LED fixtures and power/data supplies shall be provided by a single manufacturer to ensure compatibility.
- All products associated with installation and control of the LED system, including peripheral devices and software are to be provided by a single manufacturer.
- Power/data supply outputs shall have current limiting protection.
- Power/data supply shall provide miswiring protection.
- Power/data supply shall have power factor correction.
- Power/data supply shall provide connections that are conduit-ready or clamp-style connections for the low-voltage wiring.
- Power/data supply shall come with a housing that meets a minimum IP20 rating for dry location installation
- LED system shall have a selectable means of external control via a data network.
- Each LED fixture and/or node shall have the capability to be set to a unique and individual address. Address shall be selectable through on board switches or by an external hardware or software method.
- The LED system shall be scalable, with every LED fixture/address in the system capable of being controlled by a single, centralized controller.
- The LED system shall support frame rates greater than 30 frames per second.
- All LEDs used in the LED fixture shall be high brightness and proven quality from established and reputable LED manufacturers.
- Manufacturer of LED systems shall utilize an advanced production LED binning process to maintain color consistency.
- LED fixture shall be UL listed or UL classified.
- LED fixture shall be CE certified.
- LED fixtures shall be PSE marked.
- Power/data supply shall be UL listed for Class 1 or Class 2 wiring
- Manufacturer shall be able to provide supporting documentation of the product meeting third party regulatory compliance.
- Manufacturer shall ensure that products undergo and successfully meet appropriate design and manufacturability testing including Design FMEA, Process FMEA, Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests, IEC standards and UL/CE testing.
- All LED fixtures (100% of each lot) shall undergo a minimum eight-hour burn-in test during manufacturing.
- Manufacturer shall provide optical performance, polar diagrams, and relevant luminance and illuminance photometric data based on test results from an independent testing lab.
- Manufacturer shall provide photometric data in IES file format in accordance with IES LM-63-2002, based on test results from an independent testing lab.
- Manufacturer shall provide mechanical, electrical, network communication and environmental specifications.
- Manufacturer shall provide installation guides.
- Manufacturer shall provide system wiring diagrams.
- Manufacturer shall provide applications engineering services.
- Manufacturer shall provide the option of a factory-trained applications engineer for on site supervision of start up and/or programming.
- LED system shall comply with all relevant patents.
- Manufacturer shall grant a license for use of relevant patents with the purchase of the patented LED lighting system.
- Manufacturer shall have at least five years of experience designing, selling and supporting intelligent LED systems.
- Manufacturer shall be able provide a reference listing of at least 75 installations using its intelligent LED-based systems.
