It’s a symphony of light and music! That’s MusicLite’s slogan, and also it’s the first LED recessed light and wireless speaker combination. This exciting new product truly lives up to its billing. MusicLites fit in any existing or new recessed lighting fixture and combines a state-of-the-art 10-watt LED light bulb, a 70-millimeter full range high fidelity loudspeaker, a 20 watt audio amplifier, and wireless audio receiver. In the home, it’s a great way to add music to any room with recessed or track lighting. How many rooms in your home fit that description? Hallways, bathrooms, living rooms, the kitchen and garage – the list goes on and on. Here at Professional Audio Consultants, northern New Jersey’s source for home theater and professional-quality audio video equipment and installation, we’re finding some big interest from customers in this innovative sound and light technology.
The concept of combining a speaker and light was invented and patented by Cary Christie is 1999. His company, Artison, an innovator in high-end audio technology, partnered with Osram Sylvania, a leading lighting company, to bring the concept to market. MusicLites fits into four-, five- or six-inch recessed lighting cans, with each LED light emitting the equivalent of a 65-watt reflector bulb. Plus, the energy efficient LED light has a 60,000-hour life – that’s more than twenty years of normal usage. The speakers also pack a punch, with a maximum system output of 96dB SPL Audio, and a frequency response 50Hz – 20kHZ, +/-3dB. The amplifier delivers 20 watt RMS with 95% efficiency.
MusicLites are compatible with any audio source, and each MusicLites comes with a remote control that allows you to raise and lower the lighting and volume level independently. The system works with three types of wireless transmitters, each with a range of about 60 feet. A starter kit that includes one MusicLite and a transmitter costs $400. It’s a great way to light up your life with a little music just about anywhere in the house.
