Cove Lighting

Spitz' LED Cove is a low-profile, computer controlled, cove lighting system offering bright, uniform dome lighting and optional programmable effects. Because LEDs are used as the light source, the color space is richer, providing a much broader color palette than incandescent cove lighting systems. LED Cove uses alternating red, green and blue LEDs, closely spaced to prevent irregular "scalloping" on the dome. With an average lifetime of 100,000 hours, and low power consumption, LED Cove offers superior performance and economical operation. Two versions are available:

Standard LED Cove allows the operator to adjust each color manually, or to automate the color selection using ATM-4. Independently adjusting the Red, Green and Blue LEDs creates a broad range of colors, intensities and hues on the dome. Standard LED Cove is available for domes up to 40 feet in diameter.

Intelligent LED Cove provides control of each 12-inch LED segment, allowing effects such as simulated sunrise/sunsets and dramatic chase sequences. Intelligent LED lighting is fully programmable from Spitz' ATM-4 automation system allowing complete synchronization with show presentations. Each cove effect gives full control over variables such as color, fade, intensity, etc. Intelligent effects include chase sequences, random flashing and sweep effects. In addition to standard sequences and lighting commands, customized sequences can be created and shared among users.

Biax Cove Lighting Biax lighting is a brilliant-white fluorescent system for reading, classroom activities and general room illumination. Biax lighting is available in switchable or dimmable configurations, and is only available through Spitz.
