Edge-Lit lightbox LED Module Solution Case Study

Objective: The goal was to provide comprehensive and uniform lighting for a lightbox with specific dimensions of 5 meters in length, 1 meter in height, and 100mm in depth, using Hi-Line's advanced HL-OEL LED modules.

Product Specifications and Configuration:

1. LED Modules:
   • HL-OEL006 Modules: Each module is 42cm in length, with a power specification of 15W at 24V. For this project, 22 units were used in total, distributed as 11 per 5m side. HL-OEL006 Product Link
   • HL-OEL005 Modules: Each module measures 35cm in length, with a power specification of 12.5W at 24V. A total of 2 units were used, one for each 5m side. HL-OEL005 Product Link
2. Accessories for Installation:
   • HL-OEL-SBCR Barrel Connectors: 22 units required for connecting the modules in a series. HL-OEL-SBCR Product Link
   • HL-OEL-PSU200 DC Power Connectors: 6 units in total (3 per side), used to supply power to the modules. HL-OEL-PSU200 Product Link
   • HL-300W-24V-IP20-EC Power Supplies: One for each side, adequately powering all modules connected to it. HL-300W Power Supply Product Link

Technical Considerations and Solutions:

1. Module Length and Installation:
   • The length of the HL-OEL006 and HL-OEL005 modules (42cm and 35cm respectively) was crucial in achieving near-complete coverage of the 5m side of the lightbox.
   • A combination of these modules was used to effectively cover the length while maintaining the aesthetics and functionality of the lightbox.
2. Series Connection Limit:
   • To adhere to the maximum series connection limit of 10 modules, the installation was divided into two separate circuits on each side.
3. Power Distribution:
   • Powering the longer series from both ends was essential to prevent voltage drop.
   • For the shorter series (with fewer modules), powering from one end was sufficient.
4. Customization and Flexibility:
   • The project demonstrated the ability to customize the module arrangement to fit the specific dimensions of the lightbox.
   • The use of HL-OEL-J200MM Jumper Extension Wires was suggested for flexibility in module placement, especially when navigating structural elements within the lightbox.

Outcome: The project resulted in a lightbox that was evenly and brightly illuminated, meeting the client's requirements for both visual appeal and lighting performance. This case study serves as an example of Hi-Line's expertise in providing tailored lighting solutions that align with specific project needs and constraints.
