Bespoke 3D LED Array for Complex Geometries
This project demonstrates a custom-designed, pixel-controlled LED pyramid, engineered in-house from PCB through to assembly. Each face of the structure is populated to ensure uniform illumination across the 3D form, while full pixel control enables dynamic animations and effects, transforming the pyramid into a fully programmable lighting feature.

Designing a Controlled, Reusable Glow Stick with LED Technology for use on Films
This project explores a reusable LED alternative to chemical glow sticks, using a high-density cylindrical LED layout, custom 3D-printed diffusion system, and PX1-based control electronics to achieve uniform 360° illumination and precise colour tuning within a compact form factor.

Designed to Fit Your Prop – Not the Other Way Around
In the example shown here, we used our PX1-R technology, and embedded the controller directly into a bespoke PCB, designed around the prop requirements, not the other way around.

RDM-Controlled Torch Retrofit Project
This project focused on retrofitting a practical Maglite torch to enable full control via RDM (Remote Device Management), providing a smarter and more repeatable lighting solution for use on set. To achieve this, we integrated our 2 Channel RDM controller directly inside the torch housing, allowing the unit to be operated remotely through a lighting console rather than manually switched on and off. Internal Controller Integration The retrofit required careful modification of
