LED Pixel Nodes for Amusement Rides

Thornsun TS-383 LED modules are direct-view pixel lights designed for a broad range of lighting and media applications such as media facades, stage designs, theme parks, low-density video displays and environmental graphics. The flat lensed RGB LED nodes are capable of delivering precisely mixed dots of light across a variety of installation. This RGB LED package offers a practical, affordable digitally controlled solution that enables digital media and lighting design companies to create personalized color and matrix effects with intelligence and style, which was previously impossible to achieve with a conventional RGB LED module.

TS-383 incorporates 3 Epistar SMD5050 RGB LEDs that deliver high flux and hot/cold performance for saturated colors. Each LED channel supports 8 bit color resolution and 256 gray level adjustment. The tricolor LED module has an integrated UCS1903 chip for both power and control. With a built-in MCU digital interface, data latches, clock synchronization oscillators, grayscale adjustment and cascading control, UCS1903 adds intelligence to the LED module and transforms it into a digitally controllable lighting node. The 3-channel control IC provides 24-bit PWM control for 16.7 million full-color display. The customizable, dynamic LED node is compatible with a variety of DMX controllers for configuration, programming and pixel-mapping.

The SMD LEDs and IC are soldered to an FR4 PCB board which provides thermal management and structural integrity against vibration. The LED module is mounted in a waterproof, thermally stable PVC housing with a clear or frosted flat lens that is impact proof and UV stabilized. The LED node comes with two 10cm long 3-conductor copper cables with waterproof 3-pin JST connectors (a male and female connector on each cable end).
