Creativity Both Inside and Outside the CoveiColor Cove MX Powercore is ideal for all cove and indirect lighting applications,but its intense, full-color light output and digital intelligence also offer extraordinaryflexibility for creating highly innovative and intricate lighting installations.Limerick House SpaThe Limerick House Spa in Limerick, Ireland, showcases the effectiveness of iColorCove MX Powercore for innovative and dynamic cove and indirect lighting. The spa’spool is halo-lit from the perimeter by iColor Cove MX Powercore fixtures thatbounce light down the walls and define the ceiling profile with a distinct line of light,providing a warm white glow or intense colors.Photography Christian RichterThe installation won an International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD)International Lighting Design Award of Excellence in 2009. In the words of the IALDAward of Excellence press release, the design “created a series of calming, coherentand relaxing spaces in a newly carved-out basement. The lighting challenge was tocreate a versatile yet discreetscheme, which would enhanceand complement the forms,while creating the correctambience for this tranquilsubterranean retreat.”With their compact profile,superior color mixing alonglinear runs, and saturatedlight output, iColor Cove MXPowercore fixtures are ableto create dramatic effectsfrom concealed locationsabove the asymmetricalceiling panels. The IALDjudges called the project “anarchetypal achievement forpool and spa lighting design.”iColor Cove MX Powercore Product Guide3
Target Interactive BreezewayHigh atop New York’s Rockefeller Center is a unique,interactive space that takes the capabilities of intelligentRGB LED lighting to new creative heights. The TargetInteractive Breezeway is an imaginatively lit passage thatconnects the Center’s top-floor observation decks,engaging visitors as they pass through by tracing theirmovement with intelligently controlled light.The lighting designer needed an intelligent LED fixture thatcould effectively deliver the full RGB spectrum in a smallpackage while keeping power consumption to a reasonablelevel. After researching the available options, he selectediColor Cove MX Powercore for its intense color outputand reliability.The Breezeway’s ceiling and walls glow with 1,300 iColorCove MX Powercore fixtures. Each fixture is configured asan individually controllable 1 ft units, creating an interactivevideo-like display that wraps around the Breezeway’ssurfaces. Each pixel in this intelligent skin is composed offour tightly grouped iColor Cove MX Powercore fixtures,These pixels are installed in all available wall and ceilingsurfaces, behind translucent glass and backlit by white LEDstrips. The unmistakable Target brand is represented bybullseye logo light fixtures integrated within the pixel array.The designers engaged a leading developer of 3D visionsystems to produce an elaborate tracking scheme thatuses the lighting fixtures’ precise control to create animmersive, interactive environment. Data from fourstereo video cameras locates and tracks up to 30 separatevisitors as they enter and walk around the Breezeway.Each visitor is automatically assigned a “personality” bythe system and is followed by individualized light colorsand patterns. The designers continuously monitor thespace remotely via webcam, and test and upload newpatterns on a regular basis. The result is a dynamic andpersonalized immersive experience, made possible byiColor Cove MX Powercore.4iColor Cove MX Powercore Product GuideLighting Design & Photography: ElectrolandThe iColor Cove MX Powercore fixtures receive powerand data from compact Data Enabler devices, which deliverline voltage and control data over a single cable, simplifyinginstallation and reducing the number of required externalpower supplies. With support from Philips Color Kinetics,the design firm developed its own custom software forcontrolling the LED fixtures. The application transmitscontrol messages (as UDP packets) via Ethernet directlyto the Data Enabler devices to generate patterns in theintelligent skin.

The designeror architect should also determine the cove’s fascia design and fixture setbackbased on the cove dimensions and room width. We strongly recommend creatingdimensional models and mockups prior to installation.Start the Installation1. Install all Data Enabler Pro devices, including any interfaces with controllers.One Leader Cable is required to connect each run or series of fixtures to a DataEnabler Pro. The Data Enabler Pro sends power and control signals to the fixturesover the Leader Cable.2. Verify that all additional supporting equipment (switches, controllers) is in place.3. If your installation calls for Jumper Cables to add space between fixtures, makesure they are available.10iColor Cove MX Powercore Product Guide
4. Ensure that all additional parts (optional mounting tracks, mounting hardware,terminators) and tools are available.Unpack and Prepare Fixtures1. Carefully inspect the box containing iColor Cove MX Powercore and the contentsfor any damage that may have occurred in transit.2. On an architectural diagram or other diagram that shows the physical layout ofthe installation, identify the locations of all switches, controllers, power supplies,fixtures, and Leader and Jumper Cables.3. iColor Cove MX Powercore fixtures are addressable in 1 ft (305 mm) segments.This feature allows playback controllers to send unique light output data to eachsegment of each fixture within your installation.SERIAL NUMBER00000000Each fixture segment (node) comes pre-programmed with a unique serialnumber. Fixtures have one or four serial numbers depending on fixture length.As you unpack the fixtures, record the serial numbers in a layout grid (typically aspreadsheet or list) for easy reference and light addressing.Location of serial number on 1 ft (305 mm)iColor Cove MX Powercore fixturesSERIAL NUMBERSERIAL NUMBERSERIAL NUMBERSERIAL NUMBER00000000000000000000000000000000SERIAL NUMBER00000000Location of serial numbers on 4 ft (1.2 m) iColor Cove MX Powercore fixtures4.

To streamline installation and aid in light show programming, you can affix aweatherproof label identifying the order or placement in the installation to aninconspicuous location on each fixture’s housing.Install the FixturesYou can mount iColor Cove MX Powercore fixtures directly to a wall, ceiling,cabinet, or other secure surface. For linear applications, you can install several iColorCove MX Powercore fixtures in optional 4 ft (1.2 m) lengths of mounting track toensure straight runs.(Optional) Install Mounting Tracks1. Field-cut the mounting tracks to the desired length with hacksaws or tin snips.0.17 in(4 mm)0.45 in(11 mm)1.26 in(32 mm)2. Install the mounting tracks using hardware suitable for the mounting surface.To ensure proper fixture fit, hardware must notextend above the track standoffs after installation. Therecommended maximum spacing between screws is 12in (305 mm).OKiColor Cove MX Powercore Product Guide11
Mount and Connect the FixturesMake sure the power is OFF before mounting and connecting fixtures.1. Rotate an iColor Cove MX Powercore fixture as necessary to provideunobstructed access to the mounting holes.E If using the Wiring Compartment torun conduit from Data Enabler Pro to thefirst fixture in a run, make sure you leaveenough space at the end of the run toaccommodate the Wiring Compartment.2. Position the first fixture in a series.If using mounting tracks on a horizontal surface, snap the fixture into the track.If using mounting tracks on vertical or overhead surfaces, or if not using mountingtracks, attach 1 ft (305 mm) fixtures with four #6 (3.5 mm) mounting screws each(not included) suitable for the mounting surface.
