Illumination components
DCFirst Claim
1. An illumination unit comprising:
- a light module having a plurality of light emitting diodes for generating light of a range of colors within a color spectrum, a processor for controlling the amount of electrical current supplied to each light emitting diode such that a particular amount of current supplied to the light module generates a corresponding color within the color spectrum, and a power module for providing electrical current from a power source to the light module, the power module including a connector for removably and replacably connecting the power module to the light module.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a current control for a lighting assembly, which may be an LED lighting assembly, which may be a pulse width modulated (“PWM”) current control or other form of current control where each current-controlled unit is uniquely addressable and capable of receiving illumination color information on a computer lighting network. In an embodiment, the invention includes a binary tree network configuration of lighting units (nodes). In another embodiment, the present invention comprises a heat dissipating housing, made out of a heat-conductive material, for housing the lighting assembly. The heat dissipating housing contains two stacked circuit boards holding respectively the power module and the light module. The light module is adapted to be conveniently interchanged with other light modules.
