I stumbled across this forum and I would like to share a design concept with you guys that integrates a vero13 (or 18..) into a complete package. This is meant to be modular and expandable, so you could add as many modules as you like - varying the color temperature as required.
The module consists of a heatsink, vero COB, cast acrylic cover, reflector & a din-rail mounting clip.
I plan to cast a clear acrylic cover over the chip, that way the Vero and internals can be protected. I am still working on choosing a proper reflector which offers the best beam pattern and fits well.
The din-rail clip should offer a really easy-to-use rail system to mount modules to. There are also a few points on the heatsink fins that could be used with eyelets or similar for chain hanging.
I'm still working on daisy-chaining units, but I do plan on using a current regulator built inside the individual modules. This is so a constant-voltage supply can be used, allowing short cable links (connectors TBD) to connect modules in parallel. This allows them to be operated in parallel even with varying forward voltages (different color temperatures, etc..). Depending on how much this costs, I may also consider individual current supplies for each.
This is still a work-in-progress. I would love any suggestions or comments.
