Through its agreement with Color Kinetics, Dialight Corporation will now be able to offer its partners the unique features that are covered by Color Kinetics' patents - complementing Dialight's own SpectraMix control system and associated intellectual property.
Roy Burton, Group Chief Executive of Dialight said: "Following the acquisition of Lumidrives by Dialight in January 2006, to take us into the European solid-state lighting market, we view the Dialight Corporation agreement with Color Kinetics as an important next step in driving forward our initiatives in the North American market for solid state lighting in architectural, entertainment and general lighting applications".
"We also believe this agreement will be a major factor in stimulating the adoption of LED technology by our OEM lighting fixture partners".
Bill Sims, President and CEO of Color Kinetics added: "We're very pleased to support Dialight Corporation in its plans to enter new markets with intelligent LED lighting offerings".
"We believe there are many market opportunities for this technology that will continue to grow through third-party product development".
"Our mission, in part, is to fuel that growth through licensing relationships built on our strong intellectual property".
