  • Patent number: 9380654
    Abstract: Provided is a driver circuit including an input port configured for coupling to a ballast and a transformer having a first side coupled to the input port. The driver circuit also includes a rectifier having an input portion coupled to a second side of the transformer and an output portion configured for coupling to a light source. The transformer is configured to match output characteristics of the ballast to input characteristics of the light source.

  • Publication number: 20150377472
    Abstract: Provided is an overmolded replaceable, light emitting diode (LED) lamp that includes a light engine having an LED chip mounted thereon and configured to generate and emit light, driver electronics in communication with the light engine, and configured to supply energy to the light engine for generating the light, and one or more connecting portions disposed within a base surface of the LED lamp configured to connect the LED lamp to a connection receiving portion of an external light device for operation thereof. The light engine, the driver electronics and the one or more connecting portions are overmolded by an overmolding material comprising a thermally conductive polymer material which forms a structural component of the LED lamp, and mechanically and electrically connects the light engine, the driver electronics and the one or more connecting portions together.

  • Patent number: 8858019
    Abstract: Provided is a system for replacing a fluorescent lamp with a light emitting diode (LED) into a conventional fluorescent lighting fixture without modifications. The lighting assembly includes an LED unit having a first end and a second end. The lighting assembly also includes a safety locking device positioned on at least one of the first end and the second end of the LED unit and coupled to a lighting fixture. The safety locking device comprises a safety switch defining an unarmed state and an armed state. To prevent a risk of shock, the safety switch is changed from the unarmed state to the armed state upon manual activation of the safety switch after the LED unit is moved into a locked position. The armed state enables an electrical communication between the two ends of the LED unit to activate the LED unit.
