Philips also displayed its Color Kinetics and RGB Lights Flexi-flex, a flexible, thin, and translucent modular LED panel system. It incorporates the company’s iColor Flex MX to form an LED display with full-motion video, graphics, messaging, and lighting capabilities in large format for both indoor and outdoor applications. The flexible panels can be draped, wrapped, hung and adapted to create an LED grid covering a large area. “It’s outdoor rated, it’s flexible, it can be as large or as small as you want it to be and each individual node is customizeable so it allows you to control the environment,” says Ken Romaine, sales manager at Philips. “In the future, lighting doesn’t have to be point source and your control of it can be infinite.”
