ChromaCove can be controlled in a variety of ways!
Our lighting products are controllable through a variety of means to fit the needs of the planetarium and architectural environments. Whether it is from basic manual control or our advanced, yet simple, user interface, ChromaCove puts you in control with our flexible configurations.

Common Ways to Control ChromaCove Lighting Products
NanoCove™ Line of Products Expand!
NanoCove™ is small fixture with a big output!
Since launching NanoCove RGB, we've been producing fixtures at a growing pace as we keep up with the orders and prepare to hold stock on this in-demand lighting solution. The driver technology in NanoCove is so great that it has been adapted to our signature series fixtures, and the results are fantastic.
At just a half-inch wide and just over a quarter-inch tall, you wouldn't think NanoCove would be very bright, but don't let this small fixture fool you! NanoCove is significantly brighter than some fixtures that are much larger in physical size. Like the difference between a sports car and a van, bigger doesn't always mean higher performance! Our efficient design simply means that it will fit in a smaller space, which is itself an impressive accomplishment indeed!
NanoCove is also the first fixture to incorporate our ChromaBlend™ technology, automatically blending colors from one fixture to the next within each unit to create a high-resolution cove lighting effect with no additional expense or extra control hardware required. The result is a smooth gradient that looks more natural than simple single-foot control.
ChromaCove™ Signature Series
Bright, vibrant colors
It seems like it was just last week when we announced our high-power fixtures, but we have come a long way from our first tests in a big dome. Now becoming our "Signature Series" fixture, the HP-80s are driven off of the advances we've made with the NanoCove product line, and continue to grow. With more options on the horizon as we push deeper into the architectural market, we are excited to keep building and installing this workhorse of a fixture.
You may not always need that much light, but we have exquisite fading, so you can keep it dim until you need the punch. It was a pleasure to hear the audience gasp at the output of this flagship product installed at the Buhl Planetarium this past fall for the GLPA conference.

Better Lighting, Better Control
Smooth Fades.
The search for smooth fades is over! Previously the only way to get smooth fading was to increase the control bit-depth. That's no longer the case. ChromaCove incorporates a proprietary modulation technique that internally smooths the dimming of the fixture, while still offerring the user 16 bits of control to set the desired color. Furthermore, we modulate at a very high rate to overcome the color strobing commonly associated with LED-based cove lighting. The result is the smoothest fades and best control possible.
Modern User Interface.
ChromaCove Designer™ gives the user unprecedented control over more than just the cove lighting. Control aspects of the interface to create the buttons with the desired color, size and position as well as all of the features for the actual lighting effect. This total control system empowers the user with the controls necessary for customizing both the output and the interface itself. Creating dynamic effects is easy and intuitive, a must-have for use in the demanding environment of the planetarium, and included with most systems.
Powerful yet intuitive!
If you can look at this image and make some guesses as to how easy it is to create gradients, then you are well on your way to understanding how to make amazing effects with ChromaCove Designer.
