  • Patent number: 10436408
    Abstract: A lighting device, which may be employed e.g. as a retrofit bulb for vehicle lamps, includes a light radiation source, e.g. a LED source, and a beam-narrowing optical system facing the light radiation source, for propagating a narrowed light radiation beam of the same source along a longitudinal axis of the device. Arranged distally of the beam-narrowing optical system along said longitudinal axis, there is moreover provided a cascaded arrangement of: a light-condensing lens, a light-driving lens, a filament-like body including annular reflective surfaces extending around the longitudinal axis and exposed to light radiation from the light radiation source propagated through the light-condensing lens and the light-driving lens, a distal mirror member having a reflective surface facing towards the filament-like body, to reflect light radiation towards annular reflective surfaces in said plurality of annular reflective surfaces.

  • Patent number: 10119676
    Abstract: A lighting device, which may be used e.g. to produce motor vehicle lamps, may include a light radiation source, e.g. a LED source, having a light-permeable body arranged facing source for propagating light radiation along a longitudinal axis. The light-permeable body includes a collimator exposed to light radiation source and adapted to collect light radiation and to inject it into light-permeable body, a tapered portion coupled to collimator for receiving light radiation and directing it towards an output end, a distal portion acting as an emission filament, coupled to the output end of tapered portion, with an output mirror having a shank portion extending in said distal portion and a head portion, the output mirror reflecting light radiation radially from longitudinal axis and proximally towards said light radiation source.

  • Patent number: 9696004
    Abstract: A lighting device, such as for example a LED flexible module, includes an elongated profiled body having a mouth portion, a first and a second lateral sides arranged sidewise of the mouth portion and a web side opposed the mouth portion. The profiled body includes a light-permeable portion, extending between the mouth portion and the first lateral side, and a light-impermeable portion extending between the second lateral side and the web side. A light radiation source assembly including a support member with one or more electrically powered light radiation sources is arranged at the mouth portion with the light radiation source(s) facing the light-permeable portion, whereby light radiation is directed towards the first lateral side for emission from the lighting device.
