                      NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
                              TERMS AND CONDITIONS

                        COLOR KINETICS INCORPORATED 2004
                              STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

      This Option is granted pursuant to and governed by the Company's 2004
Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and, unless the context otherwise requires,
terms used herein shall have the same meaning as in the Plan. Determinations
made in connection with this Option pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by
the Plan as it exists on the Grant Date.

      Section 1. GRANT OF OPTION. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth, the Holder is hereby given the right and option to
purchase from the Company shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par value
per share (the "Common Stock"). The Non-Statutory Stock Option Agreement to
which these Terms and Conditions are attached sets forth (i) the expiration date
of the Option, (ii) its exercise price per share, (iii) the maximum number of
shares that the Holder may purchase upon exercise hereof, (iv) the vesting
schedule and (v) certain other terms and conditions applicable to this Option
and incorporated herein. The right to purchase shares hereunder shall be
cumulative.

      This Option is and shall be subject in every respect to the provisions of
the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, which is
incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof. The Holder hereby
accepts this Option subject to all the terms and provisions of the Plan and
agrees that (i) in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and those
of the Plan, the latter shall prevail, and (ii) all decisions under and
interpretations of the Plan by the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board") or the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Holder
and his heirs and legal representatives. References herein to the "Committee"
shall mean the Committee as defined in the Plan.

            Section 2. EXERCISE OF OPTION. This Option may be exercised only to
the extent such Option has vested pursuant to the terms of Section 1. Purchase
of any shares hereunder shall be made by delivery to the Company of a written
notice of exercise (the "Notice") setting forth the number of shares with
respect to which the Option is being exercised and the address to which the
certificate for such shares is to be mailed, accompanied by:

            (i) cash, certified or bank check or postal money order payable to
      the order of the Company for an amount equal to the Option price of such
      shares;

            (ii) with the consent of the Committee, shares of Common Stock of
      the Company which (a) either have been purchased by the Holder on the open
      market, or (b) have been beneficially owned by the Holder for a period of
      at least six months and are not then subject to restriction under any
      Company plan ("mature shares"); such surrendered shares shall have a fair
      market value equal to or less than the Option price of such shares and
      shall be accompanied by cash or a certified or bank check or postal money
      order in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the Option
      price of such shares and the fair market value of such shares;

            (iii) with the consent of the Committee, a personal recourse note
      issued by the Holder to the Company in a principal amount equal to such
      aggregate exercise price and with such other terms, including interest
      rate and maturity, as the Company may determine in its discretion,
      provided that the interest rate borne by such note shall not

<PAGE>

      be less than the lowest applicable federal rate, as defined in Section
      1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

            (iv) with the consent of the Committee, if the class of Common Stock
      is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 at that time,
      subject to rules as may be established by the Committee, irrevocable
      instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a
      check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price;

            (v) with the consent of the Committee, instructions to reduce the
      number of shares otherwise issuable to the Holder upon the exercise of the
      Option by a number of shares of Common Stock having a fair market equal to
      the aggregate exercise price; provided, however, that the Holder otherwise
      owns an equal number of mature shares; or

      (vi) with the consent of the Committee, a combination of (i), (ii), (iii),
      (iv) and/or (v).

      For the purpose of the foregoing, the fair market value per share of the
Common Stock so delivered to the Company shall be the closing price per share on
the date of delivery as reported by such registered national securities exchange
on which the Common Stock is listed, or, if the Common Stock is not listed on
such an exchange, as quoted on NASDAQ; provided, that, if there is no trading on
such date, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the closing price per
share on the last preceding date on which the Common Stock was traded. If the
Common Stock is not listed on any national registered securities exchange or
quoted on NASDAQ, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be determined
in good faith by the Committee.

      Section 3. CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS. The Company, in its discretion, may
file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933 to
register shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan. At any
time at which such a registration statement is not in effect, it shall be an
additional condition precedent to any exercise of this Option that the Holder
shall deliver to the Company a customary "investment letter" satisfactory to the
Company and its counsel in which, among other things, the Holder shall state
that the Holder is purchasing the shares for investment and acknowledges that
they are not freely transferable except in compliance with state and federal
securities laws.

      Section 4. DELIVERY OF SHARES. Within a reasonable time after receipt by
the Company of the Notice and payment for any shares to be purchased hereunder
and, if required as a condition to exercise, the investment letter described in
Section 3, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder (or
if any other individual or individuals are exercising this Option, to such
individual or individuals) at the address specified in the Notice a certificate
or certificates for the number of shares with respect to which the Option is
then being exercised, registered in the name or names of the individual or
individuals exercising the Option, either alone or jointly with another person
or persons with rights of survivorship, as the individual or individuals
exercising the Option shall prescribe in writing to the Company at or prior to
such purchase; provided, however, that if any law or regulation or order of the
Securities and Exchange Commission or other body having jurisdiction in the
premises shall require the Company or the Holder (or the individual or
individuals exercising this Option) to take any action in connection with the
shares then being purchased, the date for the delivery of the certificates for
such shares shall be extended for the period necessary to take and complete such
action, it being understood that the Company shall have no

<PAGE>

obligation to take and complete any such action. The Company may imprint upon
such certificate the legend set forth in the Plan or such other legends
referencing stock transfer restrictions which counsel for the Company considers
appropriate. Delivery by the Company of the certificates for such shares shall
be deemed effected for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent
of the Company shall have deposited such certificates in the United States mail,
addressed to the Holder, at the address specified in the Notice.

      Section 5. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. The existence of
this Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its
stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations,
reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its
business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of Common
Stock, or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock or
other capital stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights
thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or
transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate
act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

      If the Company shall effect a stock dividend, stock split or similar
change in capitalization affecting the shares of Common Stock outstanding, in
any such case without receiving compensation therefor in money, services or
property, then the number, class, and price per share of shares of Common Stock
subject to this Option shall be appropriately adjusted in such a manner as to
entitle the Holder to receive upon exercise of this Option, for the same
aggregate cash consideration, the same total number and class of shares as the
Holder would have received as a result of the event requiring the adjustment had
the Holder exercised this Option in full immediately prior to such event.

      Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, the issue by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of
any class, for cash or property, or for labor or services, either upon direct
sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon
the conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such
shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason
therefor shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common
Stock then subject to option.

      Section 6. EFFECT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. After a merger of one or more
corporations with or into the Company or after a consolidation of the Company
and one or more corporations in which the stockholders of the Company
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation own after such merger or
consolidation shares representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting
power of the Company or the surviving or resulting corporation, as the case may
be, the Holder shall, at no additional cost, be entitled upon exercise of this
Option to receive in lieu of the shares of Common Stock as to which this Option
was exercisable immediately prior to such event, the number and class of shares
of stock or other securities, cash or property (including, without limitation,
shares of stock or other securities of another corporation or Common Stock) to
which the Holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the agreement
of merger or consolidation if, immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation, the Holder had been the holder of record of a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the number of shares for which this Option shall be so
exercised.

      If the Company is merged with or into or consolidated with another
corporation, other than a merger or consolidation in which the stockholders of
the Company immediately prior

<PAGE>

to such merger or consolidation continue to own after such merger or
consolidation shares representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting
power of the Company or the surviving or resulting corporation, as the case may
be, or if the Company is liquidated, or sells or otherwise disposes of
substantially all its assets to another corporation while this Option remains
outstanding, then

            (i) subject to the provisions of clause (iii) below, after the
      effective date of such merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale or
      disposition, as the case may be, the Holder of this Option shall be
      entitled, upon exercise of this Option, to receive, in lieu of the shares
      of Common Stock as to which this Option was exercisable immediately prior
      to such event, the number and class of shares of stock or other
      securities, cash or property (including, without limitation, shares of
      stock or other securities of another corporation or Common Stock) to which
      the Holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the merger,
      consolidation, liquidation, sale or disposition if, immediately prior to
      such event, the Holder had been the holder of a number of shares of Common
      Stock equal to the number of shares as to which such Option shall be so
      exercised;

            (ii) the Committee may accelerate the time for exercise of this
      Option, so that from and after a date prior to the effective date of such
      merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale or disposition, as the case may
      be, specified by the Committee, such accelerated Options shall be
      exercisable in full; or

            (iii) this Option may be canceled by the Committee as of the
      effective date of any such merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale or
      disposition provided that (x) notice of such cancellation shall be given
      to the Holder and (y) the Holder shall have the right to exercise this
      Option to the extent that the same is then exercisable or, if the
      Committee shall have accelerated the time for exercise of this Option
      pursuant to clause (ii) above, in full during the 10-day period preceding
      the effective date of such merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale or
      disposition.

      Section 7. RIGHTS OF HOLDER. No person shall, by virtue of the granting of
this Option to the Holder, be deemed to be a holder of any shares purchasable
under this Option or to be entitled to the rights or privileges of a holder of
such shares unless and until this Option has been exercised with respect to such
shares and they have been issued pursuant to that exercise of this Option.

      The granting of this Option shall not impose upon the Company any
obligations to employ or to continue to employ the Holder; and the right of the
Company to terminate the services of the Holder shall not be diminished or
affected by reason of the fact that this Option has been granted to the Holder.

      The Company shall, at all times while any portion of this Option is
outstanding, reserve and keep available, out of shares of its authorized and
unissued stock or reacquired shares, a sufficient number of shares of its Common
Stock to satisfy the requirements of this Option; shall comply with the terms of
this Option promptly upon exercise of the Option rights; and shall pay all fees
or expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance
and delivery of shares pursuant to the exercise of this Option.

      Section 8. TRANSFER AND TERMINATION. This Option is not transferable by
the Holder otherwise than by will or under the laws of descent and distribution.

<PAGE>

      This Option is exercisable, during the Holder's lifetime, only by the
Holder, and by the Holder only while the Holder is providing services to the
Company, except that if the Holder's services with the Company terminates for
any reason other than death, Disability (as defined in the Plan), Normal
Retirement (as defined in the Plan) or for Cause, the Holder shall have the
right to exercise this Option within thirty (30) days after the date of such
termination of services (but not later than the expiration date of this Option)
with respect to shares which were purchasable by the Holder by exercise of this
Option at the time of said termination of services.

      As used herein, "Cause" shall mean (x) any material breach by the Holder
of any agreement to which the Holder and the Company (or any parent or
subsidiary) are both parties, (y) any act (other than retirement) or omission to
act by the Holder which may have a material and adverse effect on the business
of the Company (or any parent or subsidiary) or on the Holder's ability to
perform services for the Company (or any parent or subsidiary), including,
without limitation, the commission of any crime (other than ordinary traffic
violations), or (z) any material misconduct or material neglect of duties by the
Holder in connection with the business or affairs of the Company (or any parent
or subsidiary) or any affiliate of the Company (or any such parent or
subsidiary).

      In the event of the Normal Retirement or Disability of the Holder while
the Holder is in the employ of the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the
Company) and before the expiration date of this Option, this Option shall
terminate on the earlier of its expiration date or ninety (90) days from the
date of said Normal Retirement or Disability.

      In the event of the death of the Holder while the Holder is in the employ
of the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) and before the
expiration date of this Option, this Option shall terminate on the earlier of
its expiration date or a date one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of
his or her death. After the death of the Holder, the Holder's executors,
administrators or any person or persons to whom the Holder's Option has been
transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall have the
right to exercise this Option at any time prior to the earlier of the date of
expiration of this Option or one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the
death of the original Holder.

      Section 9. LOCK-UP AGREEMENT. The Holder agrees for a period of up to 180
days from the effective date of any registration of securities of the Company
(upon request of the Company or the underwriters managing any underwritten
offering of the Company's securities), not to sell, make any short sale of,
loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any shares
issued pursuant to the exercise of such Option, without the prior written
consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be.

      Section 10. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.

            10.1 NON-STATUTORY OPTION. The Holder hereby agrees that the Company
may withhold from the Holder's wages, or other amounts due to the Holder from
the Company, the appropriate amount of federal, state and local withholding
taxes attributable to the Holder's exercise of this Option.

            10.2 ELECTION AS TO METHOD OF SATISFYING WITHHOLDING OBLIGATION. At
the Holder's election, the amount required to be withheld may be satisfied, in
whole or in part, by (a) authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of
Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the exercise of such Non-Statutory Option
a number of shares with an aggregate fair

<PAGE>

market value that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due with respect
to such exercise, or (b) transferring to the Company a sufficient number of
mature shares of Common Stock with an aggregate fair market value that would
satisfy the minimum withholding amount due.

            10.3 AGREEMENT TO REIMBURSE COMPANY FOR WITHHOLDING OBLIGATION. The
Holder further agrees that, if the Company does not withhold an amount from the
Holder's wages sufficient to satisfy the Company's withholding obligation, the
Holder will reimburse the Company on demand, in cash, for the amount
underwithheld.

      Section 11. NOTICE. Any notice to be given to the Company hereunder shall
be deemed sufficient if addressed to the Company and delivered by hand or by
mail to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, 10 Milk Street, Suite 1100,
Boston , Massachusetts 02108, or such other address as the Company may hereafter
designate.

      Any notice to be given to the Holder hereunder shall be deemed sufficient
if addressed to and delivered in person to the Holder or when deposited in the
mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at the Holder's address furnished
to the Company

      Section 12. GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS. This Option is subject to
all laws, regulations and orders of any governmental authority which may be
applicable thereto and, notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Holder
agrees that the Holder will not exercise the Option granted hereby nor will the
Company be obligated to issue or sell any shares of stock hereunder if the
exercise thereof or the issuance or sale of such shares, as the case may be,
would constitute a violation by the Holder or the Company of any such law,
regulation or order or any provision thereof. The Company shall not be obligated
to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of this Option or
the issuance or sale of shares pursuant hereto to comply with any such law,
regulation, order or provision.

      Section 13. GOVERNING LAW. This Option shall be governed by, and construed
and enforced in accordance with, the substantive laws of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
