Boston Residence

Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Hosting a holiday party? Planning a romantic dinner for two? Lighting is an essential ingredient for creating ambience – from fun and festive, to serene and soothing.

In a charming Boston brownstone, Color Kinetics’ intelligent LED lighting lends an elegant splash of color to the dining room cabinet. The homeowner sought a simple way to apply colored lighting for dramatic effect. Five iColor® Cove 12” fixtures were mounted inside the cabinet to downlight the shelves with softly blending colors. Each unit is individually addressable to create seamless streams of color and sequential effects. Changing the room’s mood is as simple as the push-and-twist of the ColorDial, an architecturally-styled controller that activates pre-programmed lighting effects. These include Fixed Color, Color Wash, three Chasing Rainbow settings, Random Color, Random Fade, and White Light.

Unlike conventional methods of generating colored light, the iColor Cove LED lights emit little heat and consume little power, making them an ideal alternative for decorative, residential applications where space is tight. According to the homeowner, “The Color Kinetics lighting is a perfect complement to our open floor plan, giving us the ability to add color to the space without committing to paint or wallpaper. Our guests love it!”
