Makers of SeaChanger Dichroic Color Changer Release the colorBUG Wireless Color and Illuminance Sensor

colorbugLargo, FL (September 1, 2009)  SeaChanger, designer and manufacturer of the colorBUG handheld wireless color and light sensor, will release a new colorBUG professional application for photographers, videographers and lighting designers.

colorBUG measures CIE color values and illuminance for use in a wide variety of applications. In concert with free software downloaded from the iTunes App Store, it allows users to wirelessly share data with their iPhone or iPod touch, making color analysis simple and convenient. Smaller than a typical mobile phone, colorBUG is completely portable and features a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery, mini USB connectivity and a sleek, rugged design. The colorBUG can be mounted on walls and other fixtures to assist in taking measurements remotely or hands-free.

The new application will provide GPS coordinates and time/date stamps of light readings, which is especially useful for shooting still or moving images over several days to maintain color and light continuity. In addition it will suggest filter selections based on the ambient lighting conditions. Camera filters are transparent or translucent optical elements that alter the properties of light entering the camera lens for the purpose of improving the image being recorded.  Filters can affect contrast, sharpness, highlight flare, color, and light intensity, either individually, or in various combinations.

SeaChanger Begins Production of the Nemo Green Choice
colorbugLargo, Florida (August, 2009) - The Nemo is the newest member of the SeaChanger line of dichroi ccolor changers designed to deliver a new, energy-efficient class of high intensity lighting. Nemo is the first color engine with a LIFIĀ® plasma source that delivers 10,000 lumens out of the fixture while using only 285 watts of power. The LIFI source leads a new class of solid-state plasma light sources that combine the best features of solid-state electronics and full spectrum plasma emitters. The results are long-life, energy efficiency and complete color spectrum for general and specialty lighting applications.

With a lamp life of 15,000 hours Nemo is the perfect solution for hard-to-reach installations, domes, atria and theme parks. The Nemo has a CRI of 92, making it an ideal fixture for musuem and gallery lighting, it bridges the gap between incandescent and LED lighting at a price that's within reach.

Using patented dichroic filter technology, Nemo creates millions of rich and reproducible colors with white-to-full saturation color transitions in less than one second. The filters provide higher transmission efficiency than gels and other materials, and are resistant to temperature and humidity. Versions are available to suit any application in theatrical, architectural and landscape lighting.

In May 2009, the SeaChanger Nemo fixture was awarded the Lightfair (LFI)
Innovation Award for the Theatrical and Specialty Luminaire category.
