A modular, standalone, and multi-functional electronic and mechanical platform for light-emitting diode (LED) lighting applications that has continuous and adjustable color temperature (CT) is disclosed. In particular, a modular LED device of the present invention may be utilized as a standalone lighting device or, alternatively, as a universal and generic building block for forming lighting devices for any lighting application. The modular LED device of the present invention includes an LED circuit, a digital signal processor (DSP), a network interface, and a power supply that may be packaged in a compact, thermally controlled housing. Additionally, the housing may provides alignment and fastening mechanisms for easily coupling one modular LED device to another modular LED device. |
