Artistic Licence Announce Launch Of Candle-Power

Artistic Licence has announced the launch of a new technology in LED dimming and colour mixing.
The exponential growth of the LED colour changing market in recent years has led Artistic to re-evaluate the dimming technology available to the market. The goal was to achieve the following:
  • An LED dimmer/ colour mixer that would work from 15V to 48V with a variable number of LEDs and no customer configuration
  • To null out the voltage drop seen in the LED cable and so ensure perfect tracking of colour and intensity
  • High efficiency and low heat generation
  • A dimming curve that allows the LED intensity to fade perfectly from zero to full with none of the low level 'switching' effects seen in older technology
  • The ability to control 1W and 3W Luxeon and Lamina LEDs without customer configuration
  • An essentially DC drive to the cable to ensure that large installations do not produce radio frequency interference
  • DMX512 and RDM interface as standard with full feedback of lamp sensors such as temperature and hours
  • Short circuit proof and self protecting outputs
Those goals being achieved, the new range is called Candle-Power. Candle-Power is based on a modulation technique, invented by Artistic Licence, called Asymmetric Frequency Modulation (AFM). AFM is an evolution of the frequency modulation technique pioneered by Artistic Licence and published to the public domain in 2002.
The Candle-Power range includes both end user products and OEM modules designed for integration into other manufacturers’ LED fixtures. The first end user product in the range is Candle-Power CP3-12. This is a DIN Rail mounted enclosure providing up to 12 channels or four RGB triplets. It can operate from 15V to 48V.
Each of the 12 outputs can drive any number of high power LEDs in series from one to twelve. This provides a total load capability of 144 LEDs and the highest power density available.
