  • Patent number: 9920892
    Abstract: One non-limiting example of an LED system for a lighting assembly includes a heat sink having a plurality of base plates. Each of the base plates has a pair of opposing edges disposed adjacent to a corresponding one of the other base plates. Additionally, each base plate has an outer face extending between the opposing edges; and the LED system further includes a plurality of LEDs attached to the outer face of each base plate. A fan is releasably attached to a bottom portion of the heat sink and configured to produce a flow of air through the heat sink from the bottom portion through a top portion of the heat sink to maintain an operating temperature of the LED system.

  • Publication number: 20140247599
    Abstract: A lighting assembly for illuminating an area is disclosed. The lighting assembly includes a reflective body. The reflective body includes a first array of reflectors that are disposed about a central axis. The reflectors collectively form a dome-shaped configuration. Each reflector defines a lower end and an opposing upper end. Each reflector comprises a plurality of planar surfaces. The planar surfaces are defined between the lower end and the upper end. The planar surfaces are separated from one another by discrete horizontal bends. The planar surfaces collectively form an arcuate configuration between the lower end and the upper end. At least two reflectors each define an opening between the lower and upper ends. An LED assembly is disposed adjacent each one of the openings such that the reflective body reflects light emitted from the LED assemblies.

  • Patent number: 8801235
    Abstract: A lighting assembly for illuminating an area is disclosed. The assembly includes a housing and at least one light socket disposed within the housing. The light socket is configured to receive at least one light source to emit light therefrom. The assembly also includes a reflective body disposed about the at least one light socket for uniformly disbursing the light, emitted from the light source, out of the lighting assembly. The reflective body includes an array of first reflectors and an array of second reflectors, each disposed about a central axis. Adjacent first reflectors are in an obtuse angular relationship with one another. Each of the second reflectors include a left face and a right face. A reflex angle is formed between the left and right faces of the second reflectors. Each of the adjacent second reflectors are in an obtuse angular relationship with one another.

  • Patent number: 8641239
    Abstract: A lighting assembly utilizing a reflective body for use with a light source to uniformly disperse the light from the light source. The reflective body includes a lower array of first reflectors arranged about a central axis. Each of the first reflectors form an obtuse angle with the next adjacent first reflector. The reflective body also includes an upper array of second reflectors arranged about the central axis. Each of said second reflectors include a left face and a right face. The upper array defines obtuse angles between next adjacent second reflectors. Additionally, reflex angles are defined between the left and right faces of the second reflectors. The combination of angles evenly disperse the light supplied from the light source to provide a pleasant glow for illuminating an area below the lighting assembly without causing hot spots.

  • Patent number: 5452192
    Abstract: A luminaire (10) for dispersing light upwardly comprises a reflecting bowl (11) and an electric light socket (12) disposed in the bowl adjacent the closed end for energizing a light bulb (34). A power cord (14) supplies electrical power from a point external the luminaire to the socket (12), the power cord extending between the open end of the reflecting bowl (11) and the closed end, with the power cord (14) being connected to the socket (12). A rigid safety conduit (16) encases the power cord (14) as the power cord extends between the open end and the socket (12) for maintaining the power cord in a position fixed with respect to the reflecting bowl (11). The luminaire (10) further includes a funnel-shaped reflecting surface (42) disposed within the luminaire adjacent the light source (36) for increasing light reflected from the luminaire.
