| Title: |
Illumination Components |
| Abstract: |
Disclosed herein is a current control for a lighting assembly, which may be
an LED lighting assembly, which may be a pulse width modulated ("PWM")
current control or other form of current control where each
current-controlled unit is uniquely addressable and capable of receiving
illumination color information on a computer lighting network. In an
embodiment, the invention includes a binary tree network configuration of
lighting units (nodes). In another embodiment, the present invention
comprises a heat dissipating housing, made out of a heat-conductive
material, for housing the lighting assembly. The heat dissipating housing
contains two stacked circuit boards holding respectively the power module
and the light module. The light module is adapted to be conveniently
interchanged with other light modules.
