Patent ID: 8167457

Claim:
A wirelessly controllable LED-based film and video production illumination system comprising: (a) one or more light modules; (b) each light module interconnectable by an incorporated wireless data network; (c) each light module wirelessly controllable by any one of said light modules wirelessly interconnected on said wireless data network; (d) each light module including a heat sink and a light engine containing an array of LEDs arranged to illuminate at least a portion of a subject of a film or video production; (e) each light module including a control system electrically connected to said light engine; (f) said control system adapted to adjust light output characteristics of said light engine; (g) said control system further adapted to simultaneously adjust light output characteristics of light engines in every one of said light modules interconnected on said wireless data network; (h) said control system on each of said light modules having manual input means and circuitry adapted to simultaneously adjust said light output characteristics of all of said light modules interconnected on said wireless data network so that manually adjusting light output characteristics on any one of said interconnected light modules causes all of said interconnected light modules to output light characteristics to match the light output characteristics produced by the light module for which said manual input means are used to manually wirelessly control all of said interconnected light modules; and (i) said manual input means comprises one or more rotary knobs.
