Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a substantially linear luminaire assembly which includes an elongated translucent or transparent housing, where the housing comprises a first end and a second end. One or more light sources may be at least partially enclosed by the elongated housing. A detachable lens assembly may be affixed at or near at least one of the first end and the second end. The detachable lens assembly may include one or more lenses improve a uniformity of light ray distribution of light rays emitted by the one or more light sources.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a horticultural luminaire and method for assembling the horticultural luminaire. The horticultural luminaire may include a center body having a top surface and a bottom surface and comprising three or more items of material. A driver may be coupled to each of the items of material. The horticultural luminaire may also include a plurality of arms onto which lighting units are mounted. For each arm of the plurality of arms, a first end of the arm may be detachably coupled to a corresponding item of the three or more items of material. A corresponding driver may provide electrical power to light the lighting units on each arm.

Abstract: An LED module having improved bonding features is described. In some embodiments, an LED module includes at least one LED light source, at least one wire, and a housing that has a rear wall having a surface. A flow channel is cut into at least one portion of the surface of the rear wall, which provides additional surface area when glue is applied to affix the housing of the LED module to a substrate.

Abstract: An LED module is disclosed, which includes one or more LED light sources and one or more lenses. Each lens includes a lens body. The lens body includes an inner cavity having an incident surface, an emergent surface, and a reflective surface extending between the incident surface and the emergent surface for providing total internal reflection. One LED light source is situated in the inner cavity. Light emitted from the LED light source is transmitted by the incident surface. At least portion of transmitted light by the incident surface is reflected by the reflective surface to the emergent surface so as to provide a narrow light beam angle perpendicular to a length direction of the LED module. The emergent surface has a plurality of micro structures for enlarging a light viewing angle in the length direction. A sign box using one or more LED modules is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for simulating neon light comprising an elongated guide containing outer surface and a channel; a housing containing an engagement member and area for receiving a light engine; and the light engine. The light engine comprising a flexible printed circuit (FPC), a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) attached to the FPC, and a plurality of electrical connectors all in contact with a power conductor. The FPC also includes a gathering of material between each of the plurality of electrical connectors. Also included is a method for reducing the stress within the light engine.
