  • Publication number: 20170276297
    Abstract: Technologies are described for an LED PAR lamp and of making. An LED lamp is configured to conduct heat away from an array of LEDs and to an outer surface of a housing. The LED lamp comprises a thermally conductive conical or parabolic housing having a thermally conductive film on an inner surface thereof and a thermally conductive heat accumulator is disposed on the thermally conductive film and is in conductive heat transfer communication with the housing. Each LED, in an array of LEDs, is in conductive heat transfer communication with a thermally conductive printed circuit board, the heat accumulator, and the housing.

  • Patent number: 9726336
    Abstract: An LED lighting system, lamp retrofit system, kit, and method is presently disclosed. The LED retrofit system comprises at least one longitudinally extending LED lamp having a length substantially greater than a width and open longitudinal ends. A first LED lamp support rail holds and covers a first open longitudinal end of each of the at least one longitudinally extending LED lamps and is configured to electrically connect each of the at least one longitudinally extending LED lamps to a power source. A second LED lamp support rail holds and covers a second open longitudinal end of each of the at least one longitudinally extending LED lamps held with the first LED lamp support rail. A system holder on each of the first and second LED lamp support rails is configured and disposed to hold the retrofit system to a portion of a lamp fixture being retrofitted.

  • Publication number: 20170205036
    Abstract: A modular LED lighting system is presently disclosed, the system comprises at least one LED lamp housing configured to house and hold at least one longitudinally extending LED lamp or an array of LEDs. The LED lamp housing comprises two substantially parallel longitudinally extending sidewalls and two substantially parallel end walls, each end wall extends from edges of the sidewalls to form an LED lamp housing with a rectangular lower light opening. Each of the sidewalls are configured to abut with a sidewall of an adjacent LED lamp housing and each of the end walls are configured to abut with an end wall of an adjacent LED lamp housing, in the modular LED lighting system. Each of the at least one LED lamp housings in the modular LED lighting system are configured to adjoin with an adjacent LED lamp housing.
