RGB’sThe Future in Decorative

Lighting

In the “World of Minleon”First - there were decorative LED’s,Then - came decorative ‘dimming’ LED’s, Now – there are decorative RGB-LEDs.

RGB’sA Point of Clarification

RGB’s have been in the Market place for years.

The critical different is the current ability to maximize their extreme use at a reasonable cost.

To date, this ability has been limited to larger venues given RGB design complexity and high cost.

5

RGB’s are a type of LED, they have been characterized as LEDs on steroids.

RGB is short for; Red – Green – Blue.

RGB Basics

6

Each RGB light (aka nodes, or pixels in the industry) consist of 3 LED light channels; one red, one green, one blue.

For example, if you have a 25 RGB light string, the string consists of 75 channels, this is important because as one desires to use 3rd party ‘light design’ software, some providers define their software limitations by the number of channels in use.

RGB Basics

7

1 RGB channel=256 ‘levels of intensity’(given the industry standard 8B RGB chip)

For example, the ‘red’ RGB channel has 256 ‘color-levels’ ranging from 0% color intensity to 100% color intensity. The ‘green’ and ‘blue’ channels have the same intensity levels.

By employing components typical in an RGB lighting system, each 3-channel RGB can be ‘color-blended’ with one another, to create a limit-less array of colors. These components follow:A micro-chip resident within each RGB light,An RGB light controller,RGB light design software, andData communication wiring.

…brief details of each component follow

RGB Basics

8

The RGB micro chip

Each RGB light embodiment includes a micro-chip that receives software instructions from it’s light controller thru the data line.

So, if you buy a 25 RGB light set, you’re buying 25 individual micro-chips. This is one reason RGB bulbs cost more than traditional LED bulbs. But, the positive offset is the extreme added value, which is you have one bulb that can change, at will, into an array of different colors, and an unlimited number of effects.

RGB Light Controllers and Software A light controller is needed to operate an RGB

light.

A light controller is a device including a micro-processor that runs the software required to operate the RGB lights, similar to how a computer runs its software programs.

An RGB light controller controls more than just a string of lights; it controls each and every bulb, of each and every string, within a light design.

RGB Basics

10

The Wiring Component

An RGB light string typically consists of 3 or 4 wires. Minleon RGB light strings are designed with the cost-efficiency of 3 wires, one for positive current, one for negative current, and one transmitting the software data.

RGB Basics

11

Data Communication As users have issues with power

requirements when configuring a larger light design, users may also have issues with RGB data lines when configuring a larger light design. The solution for this data communication problem is properly placed data booster (sender/ receiver) cards, which enhance the software’s data signals thru the wiring, over longer distances.
