Hello people,
I have done alot of experimenting with 12V LED strips for my cinematography endeavors - which works pretty well. Those new High CRI LEDs are effecient, very bright and sooo small.
Always single color for now and my knowledge of voltage regulators and PWMs sufficed.
My new project is to build a system of bicolor tubes that are dimmable and also color controllable, they will be in different length and have mini XLR connectors on both ends so I can take as many as I want and put them into a set as "practical lighting" solutions. (think lamps that are in frame to provide something for the eye to see but not to actually light subjects)
I sourced all the parts for this, only the dimmer itself seems to be a problem, as there are no affordable commercial ones available.
Id like to use these strips: https://store.yujiintl.com/products/bc-series-dual-cct-ribbon-120led-2835
I have basically no idea how to built this dimmer to do what I want. I just soldered a circuit with 2 10K PWM dimmers so I can basically dim both strips independently, but thats not practical on a film set.
Id love some insight how you would go about that.
Greetings from Germany,
Tim
