I have a requirement to light up a floor tile when the user steps on the tile (kind of like...sense the person & light up the tile on which the person is standing). The tile dimension is approx 18-20 inches square. There are about 25 such tiles in a 5x5 grid and they are placed in a room with ambient light. I need to have a colored lamp (red/green..whatever)
So I'm searching around for the right type of tiles & lamps. I have 3 major constraints right now:
1. Lamps should be cheap (around 10 USD)
2. Lamps should have good response time - they should turn sufficiently bright quickly (under a second would be great)
3. They should be durable -(they application demands they the light will be toggled many times in a minute)
Also they should be easy to order (I'm in the US)
I shall be controlling the Lamps with a controller. I can connect a 'Lamp Driver' in between that can deliver high current from the AC Supply Mains/12 V Step Down.
Could somebody suggest what type of lamps/LEDs could fit the bill ?
Also, if anybody has experience with semi-transparent tiles that allow light to pass...I would be happy to receive suggestions.
Thanks !
