*Project description:
We are developing a prototype for a modular LED wall that uses more traditional materials (such as stone, wood, etc).
The project will use a collection of Traxon LED units and e-Cue lighting control software.
We are reaching out for an intern who is interested in architectural lighting systems and has some familiarity with electronics integration (soldering, designing constructions for connecting modular units and/or electrical components) and is looking to improve his/her skills through further experience.
