  • Patent number: 8342709
    Abstract: LED module, arrays of LED modules, luminaires incorporating such arrays, and methods of illumination where the configuration of respective components facilitates any one or more of desired angle, location and shape of illumination provided by the LEDs. LED modules are selectively disposed on a carrier plate. Each of the LED modules includes a substantially planar LED circuit board with LED chips disposed thereon, a heat sink formed of heat transmitting material and having a mounting surface for accommodating an LED circuit board to dissipate heat from the LED chips, and a reflector with its reflective surface disposed with respect to the LED chips to direct the emitted light toward an axis of illumination extending away from and substantially perpendicular to a plane containing the planar LED circuit board.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7445362
    Abstract: A luminaire capable of selectively directing light from a lamp therein generally upwardly, downwardly, and outwardly, the combination comprising an electrical housing having a generally downwardly directed socket adapted to receive and support a generally vertically oriented lamp, and having a plurality of coupling members positioned around the socket; an upper reflector, coupled to the housing, and having at least a first portion located to reflect light from a lamp received in the socket; at least one reflector module; at least one fastener for coupling the at least one reflector module to at least one of said plurality of coupling members supported by the housing in a selected location to reflect light emitted from the lamp in a selected direction; and a refractor coupled to and extending downwardly from the housing, substantially enclosing the socket, upper reflector, and reflector module, and transmitting light from the lamp to the outside of the luminaire.
