Color Stream, the first product from Bright Lighting, looks like a fluorescent tube, but changes colour, generates patterns and moves them along the tube. "It’s just like neon with pixels," says Thorjussen. The intriguing effect is created by a linear array of LEDs housed in an IP66 weatherproof tube suitable for interior and exterior applications. When multiple tubes are linked together, pre-programmed or custom effects cascade down the daisy-chained units. A variety of shapes, lengths and widths make Color Stream suitable for a wide variety of applications. The product has been licensed to Bright Lighting by UK-based lighting designers, Wynne Willson Gottelier (WWG), who developed the system some years ago. "We had to wait for LEDs to become more accessible from a cost point of view before we had a viable product," added Tony Gottelier of WWG.
