Thanks to I got inspired to do some more tests with my TI Piccolo Multi-DC/DC Color LED Kit.

The Formfactor is a bit difficult to hande, but I managed it by low-tech ;-)

So I put the Kit on the edge and got my DSLR ready to shoot some Testpictures.

I used the following settings: Aperture: 1/1.4, Focallength: 30mm, Time: 1/60s, ISO: 400.

I think you yould get some nice Pictures with this settings ... but for now the couch is my Subject...

Lets see some shots:

image

Normal Room LED Lightning

image

6 White LEDs @ 0,1A

image

12 White LEDs @ 0,5A

image

Without Room lightning

image

All LEDs ON, White @0,5A, Colors @ ~90mA

image

This is Just for reference, made with the Speedlight 580EXII :-)

 

The near edge of the Couch was ~1,6m away, the far edge about 3m from the lightsource.

As you can See the 12 LED setup works nicely, but I think at a DYI LED Light / Flash there would be a need of 18 LUW W5AM which would total up to 162€ @Farnell just for the LEDs :-(

The open Positions are the PCB (~50€) and MCU+Electronics (~50€) + a big amount of Time ...

Have you some suggestions? Please tell me ;-)

 

Best regards,

Stefan

  • Hi Stefan,

     

    I appreciate your efforts on my behalf.  Your test shows a good posibility for the device to be used for fill in lighting for indoor photos.

    It also shows that the color balance is very good over the full range of light output.  Very useful, especially for macro photography.

     

    Am I correct in assuming that the lights can be arranged some distance from the board with proper wiring?

    If so, does the documentation say how far away you can position them without substantial current/voltage loss?

    I am also assuming that you can adjust the color balance for the lights.

     

    Thank you for the extra testing.
