Abstract: A lighting assembly includes an LED string affixed to a lamp support connected between first and second lighting sockets and includes an non-conductive coupling and a pair of conductive support segments. Each support segment is connected between the coupling a corresponding lighting socket, either directly or via an intervening endcap. The LED string includes an LED module and a pair of interconnects. The LED module includes one or more LEDs and power circuitry for coupling a supply voltage to the LEDs. The interconnect pair may include positive and negative interconnects. A fixed end of each interconnect is electrically and mechanically connected to a corresponding support segment. The first support segment is electrically coupled to a positive terminal of a voltage source and the second support segment is electrically coupled to a negative terminal of the voltage source, the interconnect pair conveys a supply voltage to each LED module.

Abstract: A light emitting diode lighting device used for illumination specifically the illumination of commercial signage. The device has a modular housing and contains a printed circuit board, one or more light emitting diodes, and the wiring and power control circuitry to connect the device to an available power source. The devices can be wired together in a parallel circuit with another device creating a string of the LED devices. The device housing facilitates the addition of a colored lens that can change the color of the light emitted and the beam pattern of the emitted light. This device provides sign designers with an LED product that can produce light of varying intensity, color and beam angle by the manipulation of a single LED device.

Abstract: An illumination apparatus includes a monolithic support substrate and light emitting diodes (LEDs) on one or more external sides of the support substrate. The support substrate may comprise an elongated extrusion enclosing a hollow core. The LEDs may be affixed to rigid or flexible electrical substrates. Each electrical substrate may be affixed to an external side of the extrusion and may include embedded LED circuitry. The hollow core may enable the extrusion to be received in a recessed socket of a light fixture, wherein the recessed socket provides structural support for the applicable end of the extrusion, rendering end caps or end socket adapters unnecessary. The light fixture may include a contact protruding from the recessed socket and the electrical substrates may include circuity configured to couple the LEDs to a source of power not coupled to the protruding contact.

Abstract: An apparatus, manufacture and method of illumination support being a single monolithic substrate with light emitting diodes mounted on the external sides of the monolithic substrate. The necessary circuitry for the LEDs is embedded in one or more rigid or flexible electrical substrate that is affixed to one or more of the external sides of the monolithic substrate. The two terminal ends of the monolithic substrate are designed to fit into the lamp sockets of an existing or new light fixture without the use of end caps or end socket adapters, which provides structural support for the monolithic substrate.
