If you need to shed light on your Raspberry Pi projects you should use the Bright Pi - a breakout/add-on board that adds both visible bright white light and infrared illumination to your Raspberry Pi or other I2C device. Use the lights for your Raspberry Pi camera module, Pi NoIR module, or any other project that requires illumination.
The Bright Pi interfaces directly with the I2C interface on your Raspberry Pi and full control is via command line instructions, using Python as well as other programming languages. An onboard LED driver chip provides control over the brightness of the LEDs.
The unit has M2 mounting holes, the same as the camera module and Pi NoIR and can be mounted directly to the camera module using the screws and spacers provided.
