Compact LED Soft Light Panel Kit
A client project demonstrating embedded lighting electronics, spectral color control, and production-ready system integration.
This project showcases the engineering of a compact professional LED soft light platform developed for demanding film, television, and studio environments.
We developed this lighting system as a client project requiring precise spectral output, advanced control modes, and production-ready mechanical and electronic integration. The result combines an ultra-thin aluminum lamp head, a six-channel LED engine, dedicated driver electronics, multi-protocol communications, and accessory-level system design into a deployable lighting platform. The architecture supports high-quality white light, wide-gamut color generation, gel emulation, source matching, and flicker-free operation for high-speed image capture. It also demonstrates our ability to engineer complete hardware systems around embedded firmware, DMX/RDM workflows, wireless control, thermal constraints, power architecture, and manufacturable industrial design.
