  • Patent number: 10488000
    Abstract: A thin profile surface mount LED lighting apparatus includes a housing, an LED board including multiple uniformly distributed LEDs, and a lens. The lens has a back side facing the LED board and a front side that provides a downward facing surface when the LED lighting apparatus is installed in an opening of a ceiling. The lens is disposed with respect to the LED board such that the LEDs illuminate the back side of the lens. A first spacing of the LEDs causes resulting light from the downward facing surface of the lens to be substantially uniform during operation of the apparatus. In one example, a thin front edge of a sidewall of the housing, forming a perimeter around the lens, is flush with the lens and is appreciably thin (e.g., a thickness of less than three millimeters), and a depth of the sidewall housing is less than one inch.

  • Patent number: 10337693
    Abstract: As lighting systems age the need for retrofits—namely where newer lighting technology is used to replace older or different technology, but where a direct replacement is not possible without some kind of modification to the rest of the lighting system—increases. The residential lighting retrofit market is well established with a one-for-one light source replacement approach that is widely embraced; for example, a table lamp with a failed incandescent bulb can be readily replaced with an LED bulb despite the disparate power requirements because of the onboard driver system, and this avoids having to modify the lamp itself, the outlet, incoming power, etc. No such solution exists for specialized lighting systems such as sports and wide area lighting systems. The present invention is directed to such a solution, and one which is cost effective, easy to implement, and customizable to meet the varying site requirements of such specialized systems.

  • Patent number: 10184654
    Abstract: A lighted decorative sculpture. The sculpture is wrapped in light strings having translucent electrical insulation that clads electrical conductors of the light string, so that some of the light emitted by the lighting elements propagates axially along the light string before being scattered, refracted, or reflected radially away from the light string. In this way, the light strings so arranged effectively function as their own reflector, eliminating the need for wrapping the sculpture in an outer layer prior to mounting the light strings. The ability to view between the wrapped light strings and into the illuminated hollow of the sculpture also produces a unique lighting effect, giving the sculpture an overall translucent appearance. Various embodiments include a plurality of light strings that stem from the main power circuit, with LED lighting elements. The number of lighting elements per light string may be limited to prevent dimming of the lighting elements.
