The dynamic light shaping technology from LensVector that can be controlled from any mobile device or control system was recognized as the Enabling Technology of the Year at the Sapphire Awards. The LensVector technology allows the beam from a light source to change along a continuum from spot to flood at a single point or through an entire space.
“This technology will change the way luminaire manufacturers design light fixtures and architects and designers create illumination schemes,” says Brent York, president and CEO of LensVector. “Our liquid crystal technology integrates with current and future control protocols and provides solutions in the lighting market.”
LensVector technology aligns liquid crystal molecules to a shaped electric field and creates a lens. By changing the electric field, the nature of the lens, and therefore the illumination effect, can be changed.
“There is no longer a need to buy a spot lamp or a flood lamp,” says York. “The pairing of digital light sources and liquid crystal technology is a natural evolution. And as one industry observer noted, ‘…when history is written, it will be about photometrics and form factor.'”
LensVector technology is available from the company and can be seen at the upcoming LEDucation, Light+Building, and Lightfair conferences.
