Abstract
This thesis, developed in collaboration with SGM A/S, addresses the need for a quickly deployable, battery-powered LED moving head for the event and entertainment industry, particularly where cabling is impractical. The aim is to design an IP65-rated fixture concept that reuses SGM’s existing modules (including a previously developed lamp head with approximately 30 W heat dissipation, a multicolour LED and matching optics from LED Engin, DMX/WDMX communication, and G-spot series stepper motors). The core question is how to deliver a near production-ready product that balances user requirements (mobility, 5–10 hours battery runtime, ease of setup), the company’s brand and product strategy, and technical and manufacturing constraints (IP65 sealing, material and assembly choices in Denmark, price and volume targets). Methodologically, the work includes analysis of the company and market, use context, industry standards, and competing products, followed by requirements definition, design strategy, concept development, construction approach, and concept detailing with an emphasis on module reuse and mass production. The primary audience is rental companies and event planners for decorative and architectural lighting and smaller concert setups. Final results and performance evaluations are not included in this excerpt; it sets out the constraints, design objectives, and a process toward an IP65-protected, wirelessly controlled, battery-powered moving head aligned with SGM’s portfolio and market expectations.
Dette speciale udspringer af et samarbejde med SGM A/S og adresserer behovet for en hurtigopsat, batteridrevet LED-moving head til event- og underholdningsbranchen, især hvor kabelføring er upraktisk. Udgangspunktet er at designe en IP65-klassificeret armaturprototype, der genbruger eksisterende SGM-moduler (bl.a. et tidligere udviklet lampehoved med ca. 30 W varmedissipation, multicolour LED og tilhørende optics fra LED Engin, DMX/WDMX-kommunikation og stepmotorer fra G-spot-serien). Projektets centrale spørgsmål er, hvordan man udvikler et nær-produktionsklart produkt, der forener brugerkrav (mobilitet, driftstid på batteri 5–10 timer, enkel opsætning), virksomhedens brand og produktstrategi samt tekniske og produktionsmæssige begrænsninger (IP65, materialevalg, montage i Danmark, pris- og volumenmål). Metodisk omfatter arbejdet analyse af virksomhed og marked, brugskontekst, industristandarder og konkurrerende løsninger, efterfulgt af kravspecifikation, designstrategi, konceptudvikling, konstruktionsprincipper og konceptdetaljering med fokus på modulgenbrug og masseproduktion. Målgruppen er primært udlejningsvirksomheder og eventplanlæggere til dekorations- og arkitektonisk belysning samt mindre koncertopsætninger. Resultater og endelige ydeevnevurderinger fremgår ikke af dette uddrag; teksten etablerer rammer, designmål og en proces mod et IP65-beskyttet, trådløst styret, batteridrevet moving head, der passer til SGMs portefølje og markedets forventninger.
