Abstract: LED-based light fixtures are presented that are configured for attachment to a substrate to advantageously function without a reflector and without a backing plate. A light fixture according to an embodiment includes a waveguide having a front surface and a rear surface for emitting light, the waveguide configured to optically couple to a surface of a substrate. The light fixture also includes at least one LED light source disposed on an edge of the waveguide to emit light into the waveguide. The waveguide is configured to emit a first portion of the light above the rear surface for reflection by the surface of the substrate back into the waveguide and through the front surface of the waveguide, and to emit a second portion of the light through the front surface.

Abstract: Methods and materials capable of controlling the type and relative amounts of reflectance (e.g., specular vs. diffusive reflection) in reflective coatings, especially for inclusion in a lighting fixture or other lighting source. A method of forming a reflective coating on a substrate includes applying to the substrate a precursor material that comprises a cross-linkable binder resin, a cross-linking agent, and scattering pigment particles. The pigment particles are predominantly at or near an outer surface of the applied precursor material. Thereafter, the applied precursor material undergoes a single or multistep cure to form the reflective coating by cross-linking the binder resin. The cure energy level and duration inhibit migration of the pigment particles and/or the binder resin in the applied precursor material so that the pigment particles remain predominantly at or near an outer surface of the reflective coating.

Abstract: Thermal management techniques and methods for various types of structures that require a thermal property, such as thermal conductivity and/or flame retardance, and have a surface in proximity to a source of thermal energy. Such a structure includes a substrate formed of a metallic material or a thermally conductive plastic material, and a white fluoropolymer layer directly on a surface of the substrate without a discrete adhesive layer therebetween. The white fluoropolymer layer defines an outermost surface of the structure, has a reflectivity of greater than 95%, and has a thickness sufficient to inhibit degradation of the thermal property of the structure resulting from impingement of the surface by the thermal energy.
