This system is powered by an AC to DC power supply which provided 12V at about 10 amps -- making this system about 120 watts.
The linear drivers are modular and plug into the board by hand. Each driver PWM (pulse width modulated) current at 350mA. These drivers are very reliable but not super efficient. These drivers are current amplifiers and are driven by Darlington Power transistors. They had some advantages in certain instances, but we don't recommend these drivers anymore. Today -- many years passed this design -- we opt for other better classes of drivers which have become economically more feasible in recent years.
The LED modules are the first ones that I have ever seen (back at this time) that were modular and could be changed by the customer without soldering. All the LED modules are bolted into place with stainless steel nuts and bolts.
Almost any single die, premium brand LED could be fit into this system... Lumileds, Cree, and many others were fit and tested on modules seen in this picture. We tested the Luxeon Rebel and the Cree XP series. The LEDs ran relatively cool and the thermal efficiency of the copper boards proved to be successful.
However, the attached optic from LedIL did not test out so well, because the glue would always fail around the 3 year mark.
The board was controlled by a modular 8-bit microcontroller. We were looking at adding wireless control but that was not completed by at the time of development.
The prototype also had a distributed fan cooling system that was trigger by temperature.
This product has control of 4 separate color channels.
