In PixiDot, every dot is an independent pixel made of 6 LEDs; its color and brightness are managed individually from the control system. The dots are strung on a flexible cable at standard intervals of 12.5, 25 or 50 cm, and other intervals are made to suit the project. A string has 1, 10, 25, 50 or 100 dots; strings are joined to one another by the connectors at their ends to cover the whole facade.
From grid to free pattern
On flat facades the dots form a regular grid; the facade becomes a sparse screen playing color waves, flowing patterns and simple graphics. Thanks to the flexible cable, domes, arches and organically shaped surfaces can also be traced with dots. The denser the pitch, the more detailed the image: at a 12.5 cm pitch there are 64 dots per square meter, at 25 cm 16, at 50 cm 4. Used together with our pixel-controlled linear luminaires, point and linear light combine on the same facade.
For exterior facade conditions
The UV-protected ABS housing and UV-resistant, high-transmittance polycarbonate diffuser distribute light evenly. With IP68 water and dust protection, IK10 impact resistance and an operating range of −30 °C to +65 °C, it works for years on hotel, bridge, residence and shopping mall facades. One dot measures 69.84 × 80.75 mm and is 38.65 mm high.
Control and power supply
The standard version runs on SPI, the optional version on DMX512; the power supply is 24 V DC, optionally 48 V DC. With black (RAL 9005), white (RAL 9016) and gray (RAL 9006) housing options, it matches the color of the facade.
