README.mdLUXCRAFT - DIY Film Light
Ever wanted a videography light but died when seeing the insane prices? Me too! This project involves a DIY, high-power RGBW film light built by @ConfusedHello and @Jayx2u for the Hack Club Highway to Hardware program!
We decided to design this project because as students, we honestly don't have the spare cash lying around for one, and we wanted a nice accent light for our planned upcoming videos. It utilises 36 current controlled RGBW LEDs running off a 48V supply and controlled with a Xiao RP2040!
For details about the design process or other information, check out the development journal. A local copy is available in JOURNAL.md.
The Design
Here's a quick diagram showing how the project works~
And a nice rendered image of the case and control board-
As well as the schematic and PCB for both the control and light boards!
Also the CAD because apparently that's necessary.
Bill of Materials
Also available in .csv format in BOM.csv! BOMs for the PCBs are in ControlBoard.csv and VideographyLight.csv~
Total: $178.01 USD
Made with ❤️ by @ConfusedHello and @Jayx2u

Questions
How big is the VideographyLight PCB?
It measures 100 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the VideographyLight use?
97 parts, built around the L1MC-RGB2290500MP0. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the VideographyLight KiCad files?
From the ConfusedHello/Videography-Light repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is src/PCB/VideographyLight/VideographyLight.kicad_pcb and its schematic src/PCB/ControlBoard/ControlBoard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the VideographyLight design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ConfusedHello before reusing the design.
