When I started this class and understood the concept behind it , I started to think how I will be able to apply everything that I’m learning to projects that I might be doing in the future or what can I create that I will be able to use.
Since, I’m a lighting technician and programmer, I will like to work on developing a LED fixture that I will be able to control by using a DMX protocol with any lighting console available. The reason why I’m interested in working in this project is because I will be able to learn how to build the fixture based on any fixture currently available on market so then I can come up with costume made fixtures for different applications in which the standard market of LED fixtures wont work. for example, in permanent installations. However, since this is a group project I don’t mind getting more ideas to develop a better fixture with more capabilities or uses.
Your project sounds pretty cool, I would like to learn more about it myself. So I’m guessing that the purpose of your project is mainly geared towards long term uses such as an apartment or office building?

Some finished projects on YouTube with possibly your kind of idea in mind.
LED lighting has so many possible uses, its mind boggling. The effect on mood/room lighting is fantastic.
