Modular LED Light Core Module

Basics

• A combination of a Universal Power Supply, a Universal Watercooler, and a custom light io module (Either basic dials etc, or stuff like DMX or ArtNet for stage lighting use etc
• Can be similar to a Light Cart base, and could perhaps include a generator or large battery as well as the pole and become one

Industry Standards

• Stratus LED

Minimum Viable Product

• Use a standard Universal Power Supply
• Use a Universal Watercooler
• Have a panel with a standard power in, out + a water in and water out, all in one place
• Have a standard model (dials etc) and a model with things like DMX and ArtNet for stagelighting etc
• Should be somewhat ruggedized

Basic Design

Case

• A custom 3d Printed Box (Perhaps with gaskets and o rings etc)

Port Panel

• Water in (barb or quick disconnect)
• Water out (barb or quick disconnect)
• Power in (AC (single or 3 phase? both?) DC? (Open Source DC Socket? , barrel jack?)
• Power out (DC and coded for the LED (PWM etc) )
• Temp Probe Inputs (if used) (perhaps merge with power port into ANOTHER port standard?)

IO Panel

Basic Model

• Device On/Off Switch
• Blackout (Light only) Switch/Button
• Dimmer Dial/Slider
• Led Indicator? (Not too needed, but may help for dimming values, temperature of cooling fluid and/or led chip(s) and other warnings etc) could be a 3dp like lcd display or a calculator like 7 segemnt and a few leds
• Perhaps only needs an arduino etc

High End

• Device On/Off Switch
• Blackout (Light only) Switch/Button
• LCD with various status data for troubleshooting
• DMX in (RJ45 and XLR port options, or just use an adapter and have only 1 port type?)
• DMX out (RJ45 and XLR port options, or just use an adapter and have only 1 port type?)
• MIDI in
• MIDI out
• Perhaps direct bluetooth or wifi (thrown in if using a raspberry pi because why not if it's there even though it won't be used most likely) control and/or status data
• Usb data + firmware port (Also usb tethering perhaps?)
• Indicator leds for quick glance status (one for on/off, one for blackout, and one for each connection method) ?

Power Supply

• Universal Power Supply
• Look into if this can support the large power draw/voltage etc and if an adapter board would be needed
• Must be controllable via the control module

Water Cooler

• Universal Watercooler + Block on electronics + line to the lights (In parallel)

Misc

• Optional Wheels
• Optional Stand
• Optional Mod into a Light Cart (see Open Source Light Cart )
• Perhps either a larger single module, or an array rack for larger setups?
