  • Patent number: 10870244
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing of a lens for distribution of light from a light emitter. The method provides an injection-molding cavity defined by a shape-forming configuration with a texturing in at least one area of the cavity. A thermoplastic elastomer is injected into the cavity shaping a lens-region thickness of the elastomer. Such lens-region thickness is cooled and set prior to sinking of the elastomer such that the lens-region thickness retains the texturing of the shape-forming configuration forming a textured surface portion of the lens.

  • Patent number: 9915409
    Abstract: A lens for distribution of light from a light emitter. The lens has thick and thin wall portions between inner and outer lens surfaces. The thick wall portion(s) are at least twice as thick as the thin wall portion(s). At least one of the inner and outer surfaces has a texturing for diffusion of emitter light passing therethrough. The lens may include at least one interface between two materials with different indices of refraction. At least one surface of the interface may have a texturing for diffusion of emitter light passing therethrough. And, a method for manufacturing of the lens by forming a lens region with a textured surface portion by injecting the thermoplastic elastomer into an injection-molding cavity defined by a shape-forming configuration with a texturing in at least one area of the cavity. The shape-forming configuration is configured to shape a thermoplastic elastomer into such thickness that the set elastomer retains the texturing.

The housing portion forms a chamber enclosing at least one driver. The base extends from the housing portion and supports at least one LED illuminator outside the chamber. The housing portion and the base may each be formed as part of a one piece with the open space along at least three sides of the base. Alternatively, the base may be a separate structure secured with respect to the housing. Such base may be a single-piece extrusion supporting a plurality of LED modules or comprise a plurality of extruded heat sinks. Each heat sink may support one or more LED modules.

  • Patent number: 9523479
    Abstract: A lens for distribution of light from a light emitter having an emitter axis. The lens includes an outer surface and a total internal reflection (TIR) surface positioned outwardly of and around the emitter such that light received by the TIR surface is totally internally reflected toward the outer surface. The TIR surface has at least one recessed region extending away from the light emitter, thereby to increase amount of TIR and facilitate lateral diffusion of highest-intensity light in the middle of the light distribution. The lens may further include a base surface adjacent the emitter and an inner surface defining an inner cavity about the emitter axis. In such embodiments, the TIR is positioned and configured for total internal reflection of light received from the inner surface.

  • Publication number: 20160363307
    Abstract: A LED lamp for use in an existing light fixture may be used in either a base-up or a base-down orientation. The lamp includes an at least partially optically transmissive enclosure. A LED assembly is located in the enclosure and emits light when energized through an electrical path. A heat sink dissipates heat from the LED assembly where the heat sink is connected to the enclosure such that the lamp has a longitudinal axis that extends from the heat sink to the enclosure. A reflector reflects light along the longitudinal axis of the lamp. The reflector may be oriented to reflect light either toward or away from the heat sink.

  • Patent number: 9410674
    Abstract: A lens for primarily forward distribution of light from a light emitter which has an emitter axis in a front-to-back centerplane. The lens has a base surface which is adjacent the emitter and forms a light-entrance opening, an inner surface which defines a light-receiving cavity and includes front and back regions extending from the light-entrance opening, and an outer surface which has front and back regions adjoined by a middle region. The back region includes a back portion configured for forward total internal reflection (TIR) of rearward light received from the inner surface. The back portion extends transverse to the front-to-back centerplane away from the base surface from positions which are closer to the base surface than the innermost cavity region and terminates with a distal end which is closer to the base surface than outermost positions of the front region.
