13.2 Concept Development Initial LED testing
57
As the camera is to feature LED lights displaying through the camera body, tests were done with various veneers to determine how thin the wood is required to be before light begins to shine through. The light appears to be glow strongly when the wood is at less then 1 mm thin, however this depth could be reduced if brighter LED’s were used (SuperBright LED’s) The test was flawed as there was plenty of ambient light behind the LED’s and therefore a lot of the light emitted was lost at the back of the LED’s, and therefore when encased in a solid object, the red LED’s will provide stronger illumination.
