  • Patent number: 10047915
    Abstract: An optical element is provided for beam shaping for radiation emitted by a radiation-emitting semiconductor chip. The optical element includes a radiation entrance face and a boundary surface different from the radiation entrance face with a first region and a second region. The first and second regions are arranged and embodied such that a first radiation portion of radiation entering the optical element through the radiation entrance face is reflected in the first region and after reflection in the first region is deflected in the second region towards a plane defined by the radiation entrance face.

  • Patent number: 9528691
    Abstract: A lighting device has a carrier with a mounting face. A number of light-emitting diodes include at least two of the light-emitting diodes suitable for emitting light of different colors during operation. At least one color sensor, during operation, detects the light of at least one of the light-emitting diodes. At least one light-measuring face is illuminated by light of at least one of the light-emitting diodes and reflects and/or scatters at least a portion of this light. The light-emitting diodes and the at least one color sensor are arranged on the mounting surface, the at least one light-measuring face is arranged at a distance from the carrier, and the at least one color sensor; detects for the most part light reflected by the at least one light-measuring face from at least one of the multiplicity of light-emitting diodes.
