Linkind has introduced ColorBlend, a permanent outdoor lighting system designed to remain installed year-round while allowing homeowners to change the appearance of rooflines and exterior walls through software. The system is available now as a 200-foot kit with 120 light heads, positioning seasonal displays as programmable scenes rather than temporary lighting that must be removed and rehung.
Each ColorBlend light head contains two independently controllable zones. Linkind says the inner and outer light areas can create layered washes across architectural surfaces, adding a second level of control to roofline and wall illumination. A warm-white setting is also included for less event-oriented use, allowing the installation to function as general exterior lighting outside of holiday or gathering scenes.

Control is handled through the Linkind app, where users can switch between themes for holidays, social events and ordinary evenings. The system’s permanent format is intended to reduce the recurring installation and removal work associated with seasonal decorations, while preserving the ability to change the visual treatment without changing the hardware on the home.
Linkind also identifies Dotis AI as part of the ColorBlend offering. The system can generate lighting scenes from typed or spoken prompts, adding a natural-language layer to scene creation. For integrators, that capability sits alongside rather than replacing the more conventional app-based control described for the product. The extracted product information does not identify a dealer program or professional-only distribution channel, so ColorBlend’s published availability is best understood as a product availability statement rather than a dealer-channel announcement.
Layered effects and connected-home positioning
The two-zone architecture gives the fixture a different design role from a single-color strand or undifferentiated light line. Inner and outer washes can be used to produce more dimensional patterns across walls and rooflines, while the warm-white mode supports a restrained appearance when animated color is not desired. Scene changes can therefore cover both decorative and everyday use cases within the same installed system.
- Permanent installation: the lighting is designed to stay in place throughout the year.
- Dual-zone heads: each of the 120 light heads provides two controllable areas for layered exterior effects.
- Connected control: ColorBlend supports Matter and includes app-based themes plus Dotis AI scene generation.
ColorBlend’s Matter support places the outdoor lighting within the broader connected-home category, although the published details do not identify specific compatible platforms or the automation functions available through them. The product is listed at $699.99 after a $100 launch discount for the 200-foot kit. Linkind says the system is available now.
