LED lighting has come a long way in the past 10 years. While many professionals stayed away from LEDs when they were an emergent technology (despite the fact that LEDs offered some very distinct advantages over traditional lighting technologies), you would be hard-pressed to find a current set without at least a few battery-powered units being used as accent lights. However, LEDs still aren’t ubiquitous, and in most cases they haven’t supplanted more traditional sources such as tungsten fresnels and PARs due to the fact that they have relatively low output and are comparatively harsh in the quality of their light. The Lumapad, an open source LED Kickstarter project from inventor Richard Haberkern, looks to change all of that. Check out his Kickstarter video for the Lumapad below:
Here are a few of the key features of the Lumapad:
Ultra Bright 8000 lumen output via 32 individual CREE LEDs.
Draws only 88 watts at full power.
6400 Kelvin (bright white daylight) color temperature.
Dual color temperature LEDs available (6400K / 3200K 16 per channel).
WiFi enabled via the Electric IMP SD card module.
User programmable Arduino (Atmel) compatible micro controller.
Dual channel PWM dimming circuits with an additional analog dimmer.
Up, Down and Mode buttons …
