The lens may have a top surface shaped as a dome or other shape to achieve the desired light pattern. The lens has a cavity for the LED die. A reflector pattern is molded into the bottom surface of the lens, such as one or more facet rings with an angled surface surrounding the LED die. The angled surface of the facet ring reflects the downward or shallow light emission from the LED die upward. A plurality of facet rings of different radii and heights may be formed in the bottom of the lens for shaping the light emission. Any suitable shape of facet may be used. The facet rings may be formed to cause the LED module to emit a narrow beam or other light emission patterns.

  • Patent number: 10201056
    Abstract: Methods and systems for illuminating areas or objects in areas by manipulating the spectral power distributions (SPDs) of light sources. In one aspect, light of a given desired correlated color temperature (CCT), white in one example, is adjusted by a metamer to a different SPD designed to produce improved perceived brightness by observers. This retains the desired CCT but can allow for such things as reduced number of light fixtures or light sources, less energy, and/or longer effective light source lives for the same perceived brightness of conventional lightings. In another aspect, composite SPD regardless of CCT can be manipulated for other benefits such as highlighting portions of or objects in the area, or improving lighting performance for such things as weather conditions (e.g. snow or fog) or ambient conditions (e.g. twilight).
