ColorBurst 6
The original architectural LED spotlight with intelligent color light
ColorBurst 6 combines the classical look of a round, 152 mm (6 in) spotlight with all the benefits of intelligent
LED technology. Enclosed in a rugged, die-cast aluminium housing, this compact spotlighting and wall-washing
Luminaire projects rich, saturated colors and color-changing effects both indoors and outdoors. Enclosed
wiring gives ColorBurst 6 a neat appearance and optimum positioning. The housing is equipped with a threescrew accessory ring to affix spread lenses, egg-crate louvers, and other attachments.
• Two beam angles — Available with a frosted
tempered glass lens for a soft-edge beam of light
(21° beam angle), or a clear lens for extended light
projection (10° beam angle).
• High-intensity,energy-efcientlight—Each
ColorBurst 6 Luminaire outputs over 500 lumens
while consuming just 25 W at full intensity.
• Flexible positioning and aiming — A 350° locking
baseswiveland350˚lockingLuminairerotation
offer a versatile range of light positioning.
• Full range of accessories — Designed specifically
for ColorBurst, accessories provide additional
options for controlling and dispersing light.
Top hats, half top hats, egg crate louvers, barn
doors, and glass spread lenses attach easily to
an integrated accessory attachment ring on the
ColorBurst 6 housing.
• Versatile mounting options — ColorBurst 6
mounts to standard junction boxes or to a
specially designed mounting base, available
separately. With the optional mounting base,
ColorBurst6canbefreestandingonaoor.Each
mounting base comes with a native 18.3 m (60 ft)
power and data cable to minimize wiring.
• On-board temperature monitoring — A
compensation circuit prevents damage to the
Luminaire if operating temperatures rise to unsafe
levels. An auto-cycling feature automatically
restores normal operation after 30 minutes.
• Industry-leading controls — ColorBurst 6
Luminaires work seamlessly with the complete
line of Philips Color Kinetics controllers, including
ColorDial Pro, iPlayer 3, and Light System
Manager, as well as third-party controllers.

Dynamic and Inviting Interiors
with ColorBurst 6
Although ColorBurst 6 is designed with a fully-sealed die-cast aluminium housing for
use in exterior and wet locations, its small footprint, focused beam, and ease
of installation make it the perfect choice for indoor spotlighting and accent lighting
as well.
Spotlight on the Folsom Library
The Richard G. Folsom Library on the Troy, New York, campus of Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute (RPI) had not been renovated since its opening in 1976. RPI
recognized the need for a refurbishment
that would make its main library more
user-friendly and inspire and attract
students, researchers, and others.
The lighting designer drafted a creative
plan with an emphasis on color-changing
accent lighting and spotlighting. To make
the library more open and inviting, light
show colors were designed to dynamically
interact with the changing climate of
upstate New York, displaying warm
colors during the cold winter months,
cool colors in the summer, greens in the
spring, and orange colors in the fall.
The library uses a variety of Philips
color-changing LED lighting Luminaires
throughout — to lend color to computer
hubs and work areas, for example.
ColorBurst Luminaires are used to
accentuate an inverted world map,
specially designed for the renovation,
which provides a dramatic backdrop for
the library’s circulation desk.
A single Philips Color Kinetics DMX
controller gives library staff complete
control over all of the lighting Luminaires
and light shows, both static and dynamic,
throughout the library. In addition to
providing an inviting atmosphere yearround, Philips LED lighting benefits the
library through low energy consumption
and minimal maintenance costs as
