In-lamp adjustment allows end users to choose color temperature with
a turn of the dial
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus
Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS), the innovative technology solutions company
that brings invention to market, today introduced a revolutionary
capability for in-lamp adjustment of color temperature in its LED-based PAR30
and BR30
bulbs. This technology development comes following the general release
of the Rambus PAR30
and BR30 bulbs, and continues the company's momentum in bringing its
portfolio of LED bulbs to market.
Since LEDs are available in a series of color that cross the spectrum of
white, there is a high degree of variation of color temperatures in
lamps that are available to the consumer, making it difficult to blend
new LED bulbs with existing lighting. With a simple turn of a dial on
the bulb, this innovative technology cost effectively enables in-lamp
color temperature change through the use of a remote phosphor and a
color mixing light guide, without requiring additional LEDs or expensive
multi-channel drivers.
The Rambus in-lamp color adjustment technology allows the end user to
continuously adjust color temperature to create the desired environment,
from cool white of 5,000 kelvin to warm white of 3,000 kelvin, and all
points in between. In the commercial sector, this technology enables
simplified SKU management and is scalable to meet changing needs.
Retailers need only one bulb on the store shelf to cover all the
different color options that consumers require.
"We are excited to add more revolutionary capabilities to our LED bulb
product portfolio. The ability for the end user to control and update
the color temperature of their bulbs is unique within the lighting
industry," said Jeffery Parker, president of the Lighting and Display
Technology group at Rambus. "Whether it's a consumer, distributor, store
owner or facility manager, this new capability means users can purchase
the bulb today without worrying about replacing it later if their color
temperature needs change."
Rambus is currently accepting commercial requests for its PAR30
and BR30
bulbs, which are expected to be generally available in Q3 of this year.
