  • Patent number: 9360169
    Abstract: An illumination system includes at least an LED module, and at least an illuminated area. The LED module includes an LED, and a lens mounted in light path of the LED. The lens includes a light source recess, a first light emitting surface, a critical reflecting surface, and a second light emitting surface intersecting with the first light emitting surface and being on same side with the first light emitting surface. The first light emitting surface can receive more light quantity than the second light emitting surface. Although the light emitted from the first light emitting surface may have greater attenuation than the light emitted from the second light emitting surface, light emitted from the first light emitting surface can make up the intensity losses of attenuation as the first light emitting surface receives more light quantity than the second light emitting surface. As a result, the illumination system 100 have uniform illumination pattern.

  • Patent number: 9239140
    Abstract: A light-emitting arrangement (100) comprising a reflective member (101) having a reflective surface (102) on which at least one LED is arranged is disclosed. A wavelength converting member (104) comprising a first wavelength converting material, adapted to convert light of a first wavelength into light of a second wavelength, is arranged on the reflective member. The converting member has a top face (105) oriented parallel to the reflective surface, and has a first side face (106) and a second side face (107) that are each arranged between the top face and the reflective member on a respective side of the LED(s). The top face is arranged at a vertical distance (V1) from a light-emitting surface (108) of the LED(s). By adapting the properties, dimensions and/or orientation of the faces of the wavelength converting member according to the invention, a desirable light distribution from the light-emitting arrangement is achieved.
