THE STORY
Our client required a lighting solution for their LED balloons that could be operated remotely and offer adjustable brightness. EMP Designs designed a lightweight, compact system that integrated seamlessly into the balloon structure while delivering reliable performance and easy operation.
THE SOLUTION
The client approached EMP Designs to design a control system for large LED-lit balloons used in events and promotional displays. The challenge was to create something lightweight, with minimal power consumption, while allowing precise control of brightness and colour.
THE PRODUCT
We designed a custom LED driver and wireless control interface. The system allowed the operator to adjust brightness levels and switch between preset modes without physical contact, improving both convenience and safety during events.
BENEFITS OF THE DESIGN SOLUTION
Lightweight construction for aerial use
Wireless control for ease of operation
Adjustable brightness and preset modes
Reliable, long-lasting performance
