Optek LED light strips used in Earth exhibit
Optek Technology
OVM12F3x7 Series LED module strips
Optek's LED module strips and flexible LED light strips have been employed by Adirondack Studios in the design and fabrication of the Changing Earth exhibit at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.
The exhibit includes a Magma Crawl display - a crawl-through fibreglass tunnel that uses a sequence of programmed lights and heating elements to simulate the flow of lava through the earth.
The OVM12F3x7 Series LED module strips are a string of 30 super-flux LED modules designed for surface illumination to create decorative or special effects.
Implemented in the Magma Crawl tunnel, the LEDs' response time is fast enough for instantaneous flashing lights, while power consumption is 0.3 to 0.5W typical, depending on colour.
The LED modules are available in strips ranging from 3in to more than 40ft.
The OVQ12S30x7 Series flexible LED light strips represent a scalable lighting solution using high-brightness LEDs mounted on flexible circuit board.
Used to build the convection flow meter and the eruption indicator in the Magma Crawl display, these light strips are said to be highly flexible, providing easy installation and allowing many different configurations.
