City Theatrical, Inc. and Color Kinetics Inc. are collaborating to deliver a full line of accessories for use with Color Kinetics' line of professional LED-based lighting systems. The accessories will enhance the flexibility of Color Kinetics' systems and expand the options available for lighting designers through greater control of light dispersion and effects. “Today's lighting designers demand flexibility and the option of customization to achieve their individual designs,” said President Gary Fails of City Theatrical. “Color Kinetics opened completely new doors in design with its intelligent LED systems, and we look forward to taking these systems further with custom-engineered accessories that provide even more options for users.” The first accessories to be released can be used with Color Kinetics' ColorBlast, ColorBurst, and ColorBlaze units, and are available from www.citytheatrical.com.
