RTI Dome number 7 – for CSAD in Oxford University was dubbed the “superdome” – as it uses 128 LEDs and has an improved superstructure as well as updated controller. It is 80cm in diameter – so it seems light compared to the previous 1m domes. The cut plastic hemisphere was once again made by Talbot Designs. The system uses a 30V PSU, and high power LEDs similar to other domes: Bridgelux BXRC-40G1000-B-23: 25.7V 350mA 948 lumen “neutral”
