Intuitive RDM Protocol

Remote Device Manage (RDM), a technology with a history that stretches back more than 20 years; has gradually become a great tool in Architectural LED control projects. With theatrical application as its origin, RDM is strict in protocol definition and it is very challenging to comply fully to all standards.

Arco Illumination Coda firmware passes more than 16,000 items tested via Plugfest and is proven to be 100% RDM compatible.  Coda provides multiple personalities and great architectural lighting features like Hue, Saturation, and Value control.

Power Balance ZCL

RGBW LED fixtures can create dynamic and dramatic color changing lighting effect while possessing the capability of also offering white illumination. However, typical RGBW fixtures have limited power in individual R,G,B,W color allocation as it has to divide the power by 4.

Though functional and eventful to create dynamic color changing light effects, it often lacks the “punch” and brightness in individual static color/white light presentations. With Arco Illumination’s Forte technology there is no longer such a compromise. Forte RGBW fixtures deliver individual color at a balanced maximum power that the fixture supports thus offering abundant light in all color lighting applications. No dips, no valleys.

RGB+W White Balance

White light can be created by the mixing of Red, Green and Blue. You know it and we know it. But it is more easily said then done. To create a high CRI pure white of various color temperature (CCT), not only does the control formula need to be mathematically correct but it also takes ingenious programming and optical design combined with a well-controlled production process.

Arco Illumination Tone delivers true, white-balanced illumination tuned along the black body curve offering you the most pure of whites.  

SIP Settable White (Patented)

To match the color temperature with the decoration and/or scenes is crucial in the design process, but to have complicated and expensive CCT tunable white system/luminaries installed for often one-time setup is a waste of resources and is tedious.

Arco's Sense fixtures don't need a data wire nor control system. With a swipe and tap of your phone in the installation stage, you can tune the CCT to your desired setup.

SIP/Bluetooth Settable Color (Patent Pending)

Have you ever wondered if you can make your lighting the same color hue as your corporate color? The same color as your school flag/banner?

With Shift, it is now as easy as point and click.

Take your smart phone and snap a shot, tap the phone on the Arco Illumination Shift enabled fixture and see the result in real time. No complicated and frustrating back and forth communication with your designer or integrator. Just your smart phone and an Arco fixture is all you need.
