Gareth's Profilux Controlled LED + T5 DIY

[GDominy]

Well, it was several months in the works, and a lot of reading, but I finally got around to building the monster.

The new Lighting rig is 100% Profilux controlled. Each bank of light is dimmable seperately, with a combination of 16 x 39w HOT5's and 60 x 3 Watt Cree LED's (30 x Cool White XPG's + 30 x Royal Blue XPE's).

Here are some of the photo's of the actual rig..

This last image shows the EVG-AP-2F boards that all control the 6 different dimming channels wired into the LED drivers and the Ballasts that power this beast.

Channel 1 = ATI Blue Plus Bulbs (4)
Channel 2 = ATI Purple Plus Bulbs (4)
Channel 3 = ATI Aquablue (4)
Channel 4 = ATI Blue Plus Bulbs (4)
Channel 5 = Royal Blue LED's (30)
Channel 6 = Cool White LED's (30)

by any chance do you have colors of the LED by themselves on while the T5 are off?

Yes, the T5's turn on an hour after the LED's, and and hour before the LED's turn off.

This allows for the colour to really "pop" with the Royal Blues before and after the main lighting schedule.
