  • Patent number: 8104920
    Abstract: A modular lighting system includes an elongate light module with a printed circuit board having at least one light emitting diode mounted thereon for emitting a shadowless light pattern. The light module is adapted to be electrically connected to one or more other light modules where each light module generally includes a support frame having a base member disposed between an upstanding right-side wall member and an upstanding left-side wall member. Each side wall member includes an upper inner wall channel, a lower inner wall channel and an outer wall channel which is disposed between the upper inner wall channel and the lower inner wall channel. The channels support a track cover and in cooperation with a pair of spaced apart removable retention members help determine, at time of installation, the mounting angle of the printed circuit board for directing light emitting from the light module.

  • Patent number: 8061868
    Abstract: A light emitting diode lighting system and kit includes a plurality of matched pairs of breakaway light emitting diode assemblies adapted to be mounted in a primary lamp holder where each individual matched pair assembly includes: (1) a light emitting diode coupled to a printed circuit board; (2) a break away housing adapted to be pressed fit over the light emitting diode; and (3) a breakaway lens adapted to be pressed fit into the housing to facilitate controlling the spread of light emitted by said light emitting diode from a wide range angle Ø to a narrow range angle ? at a user selected breakaway angle ? of between about A degrees to about B degrees.

  • Publication number: 20060087851
    Abstract: An illumination device comprising a protective encasing for LED components and associated circuitry. The encasing is sealed to protect the encased components from external elements and prevent corrosion. The encasing includes a top half and a bottom half, which is configured to mate with the top half and provide an internal chamber for the LED components and circuitry. The encasing also includes at least one translucent and interchangeable cap that is configured to mate with a flange on the top half of the encasing so as to enclose the LED components and circuitry. The interchangeable cap is available in different colors so that different colored light may be emitted from the illumination device. An alternative embodiment of the illumination device includes a gasket positioned between the top and bottom halves of the encasing to better seal the two halves. Additionally, a gasket, or O-ring can be positioned between the cap and flange to better seal the cap to the top half of the encasing.
