The Light Panels can be daisy chained to keep wiring to a minimum. The light signals that power it on the unit and a big switch overrides the PWM Controller for instant on/off

Flood Lights
When you follow me for a bit longer, you might know, that I have a crush on VESA-Mountings. When I came by some custom made aluminum heatsinks with a VESA mount, I knew that this could be the solution to build high brightness panels and dump the excess heat into the giant heatsink. When driving all the 24V Leds and max brightness, the heatsink gets only to around 40-50°C depending on the ambient temperature. So that is a win for me.
I have not yet released the prints, as I highly doubt that anyone will come by the same VESA heatsinks. They were apparently custom made for some installations. I list this item in my catalog to give you some inspiration on how you can build your own flood lights. Just try to find a decent sized aluminum block and start building upon it. my solutions were in all aspects custom designed to fit my environment when it comes to mounting (spigot), LED (24V, 6000K), power distribution (barrel plug sockets, see the catalog) and type of diffusion.
Light Diffusion
The image does not do justice, as the camera calibrates the light out. The Panel generate a lot of lumen and two panels are nough for a 3x3m studio setup
