  • Publication number: 20150223301
    Abstract: An LED lighting device with a replaceable driver-control module interface is described. The LED lighting device may include a driver-less LED lighting device, a driver-control module with driver function, and a housing interface on the driver-less LED lighting device to house and connect the driver-control module. The driver-less LED lighting device receives AC from an external AC source and passes the AC to the driver-control module. The driver-control module receives AC from the driver-less LED lighting device and provides DC to the driver-less lighting device to drive LED diodes in the driver-less LED lighting device. The housing interface on the lighting device houses the driver-control module such that, when the driver-control module is fastened to the driver-less lighting device through the housing interface, the driver-control becomes an integral part of the lighting device.

    Abstract: A lighting device includes a light source and an enclosure enclosing the light source wherein a portion of the enclosure has a focus-forming curvature such that when the light from the light source is reflected off the enclosure element the reflected light intersects at the focus of the curvature and creates a virtual light source at the focus. A reflective coating or a reflective material may be applied to the enclosure, or a ball lens may be used around the light source, to increase the intensity of the reflected light and of the virtual light source. A diffuser may be used to change the size and shape of the virtual light source.
