Lux

2004

Lux was originally built for the Star Wheel project, but later became the platform for several other projects. It is a battery powered, high brightness, self addressing, animating DMX based luminaire.

Capable of running for up to 8 hours off three D cell batteries, and using a unique RGB+W color mixing scheme to optimize power usage, Lux was one of my most ambitious projects.
