Light + Building 2014
Light + Building 2014 drew
more than 200,000 visitors from
around the world and
thousands passed through
Xicato’s ‘Shack-on-the-Square'
to see how the lighting
paradigm is shifting from
functional to digitally
controllable and manageable. It
was clear that the lighting
industry and the building
industry are focused on Lighting
2.0 and are about to come
together in ways only previously
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL
imagined.
Lighting 2.0: A New Paradigm
Lighting 2.0 is, quite simply, lighting that
communicates and interacts with both
the environment around it, and the
users that it serves.
With communications and
sensors, lighting becomes a
platform that can be used to
enrich, engage and enable
experiences and environments.
Lighting 2.0 utilizes and implements
the digital nature of LED technology
and innovation to create new, better
lighting solutions.

The Internet of Lights
Most connected lighting platforms in the Lighting 2.0 model consist of ‘add-ons’
to existing lighting systems thereby negating the benefits of fit for purpose
design and the reliability, control and design options that can be achieved
through integration.
Xicato believes that integrating communications, control, sensors, software and
a light source into a single module will enable a ‘community’ of lights in and
across spaces that can share information and inputs to respond to end user
desires, environmental issues and can execute business rules to enhance
commerce. The union of software and hardware in a single package provides
the greatest design freedom both aesthetically and from a system perspective.

Smaller, Better, Faster, Cheaper
By shrinking Corrected Cold Phosphor
Technology® into a significantly smaller
footprint—the Core—XIM retains all the
benefits of the patented phosphor
cooling technology and quality of light.
It also created space into which chips
and electronics can be integrated. With
virtually the same footprint as the first
generation XSM, the XIM causes us to
reconsider what a light source can be.

The Intelligent Module
Here is XIM at work:
integrating sensors so that you
can view real-time LED
temperature and see how light
output and power can change
as the module manages its
own performance. On-board
ambient light and occupancy
sensors demonstrate how
intelligent the module can be.

Echelon and Xicato
Xicato’s XIM modules are streaming lighting control commands and sensor data
over a 48VDC power line. The lights are connected using Echelon’s LonWorks PLC
technology.
A gateway provides access to the lights and sensors on this network. It is
compatible with existing lighting control and building management systems such as
DALI, LonWorks, BacNet and KNX. This low voltage solution with high power
capabilities provides the simplest installation and powerful lighting control
capabilities. It offers granular, localized access to integrated and attached sensors
that provide all the information needed to manage the spaces in any building. Now,
better illumination, analytics and management data and lighting control are within
everyone’s reach.

The Xicato Story
Consistency, Quality and Reliability
Xicato has built its reputation on these
three pillars. We have thousands of
installations around the world in which
the modules turn on every day, as they
have for years, and no one notices.
They don’t notice because the quality
of the light is superb, and the light is
consistent and reliable. Xicato modules
just don’t fail.

The Xicato Story
Color Warranty
We design and build advanced modules capable of producing better light than
that from a halogen lamp. Light that’s backed by a unique 5-Year Color
Consistency and Lumen Maintenance Warranty. In fact, we’re the only light
source provider to guarantee color performance over time, having established
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL
the industry benchmark for initial color.

The Xicato Story
Corrected Cold Phosphor
Technology®
The reliability of Xicato stems
directly from our patented
Corrected Cold Phosphor
Technology®. This patented
approach enables Xicato to both
‘tune’ the system for unparalleled
consistency and keeps the
phosphor cooler, ensuring the
color and lumen maintenance
and extended lifetimes.

The Materials Lab
Xicato’s portfolio of light enables lighting designers, interior designers and others to
achieve the desired emotional impact for their environments. The Lab features a
range of finishes and each sample can be placed under a different light type allowing
direct comparison of the effects of color rendering, gamut area and color point.

Parsons “Spot the Change”
“Spot the Change” demonstrates our variable perception of object color
under white light. By pressing the interactive spots located in the room,
participants initiate sequences of light change specifically calibrated to the
colors of the immersive environment. Pink and red spots appear the same
color in one lighting condition but look different under another. To see and
learn more about ‘Spot the Change’ visit www.xicato.com/parsons.

Color Science
Spectral power distribution, gamut area and color rendering, the black body
locus and color spaces impact our perception of the nature and quality of light.
Understanding the metrics of light and color enables better design and more

importantly, better results.

Precision Optics
We invited a group of senior lighting designers to join us in New York City
for a day of evaluating reflectors and discussing what works, what doesn’t
and what kind of performance a top-notch reflector would offer. After almost
a year of invention and engineering, we’ve designed a new range of precision
optics that will forever raise your expectations for great beams.
