LED Housing for Lithium Battery Appliance
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
I need engineering support to complete the last missing piece of a household product that is otherwise fully designed: the LED system. Your assignment is to create a compact housing that secures a short LED strip to the product’s internal frame, mates cleanly with an existing lithium-ion battery pack and still allows users to run the lights from the battery or bypass it by plugging into mains power.
Material choice that it will be attached to is either a resin mold or a plastic-injected mold. The final design must be manufacturable at scale. Because the LEDs sit behind an opaque panel, the external form factor is not constrained by aesthetics; what matters is thermal management, ease of assembly on our current chassis and clearance for existing screw bosses. Internally the LEDs must sit on a small PCB that supports selectable colours (RGB). You are free to recommend off-the-shelf components or specify a custom board if that shortens the BOM.
Once we execute the mutual NDA, I will send the full product CAD, battery specs, internal space envelope and styling guidelines. Deliverables I expect at project close:
• 3D CAD of the LED housing ready for injection-mold or resin tooling, including draft and gate considerations
• An exploded view or short assembly note clarifying how it locks onto the battery sled and routes wiring to the DC barrel / mains adapter port
• A simple thermal check or rationale that the LEDs run within operating limits under both power sources
• A brief bill of materials and any recommendations on LED driver or RGB controller, so my electronics partner can validate the layout
I value clear communication and quick iterations; if that matches your working style, let’s sign the NDA and get started.
