  • Patent number: 10619813
    Abstract: A solid state light source device includes N (an integer of two or more) sets of solid state light source assemblies having a plurality of solid state light source cells arranged in a matrix pattern a multiple lens block including N incidence faces facing the N sets of solid state light source assemblies and causing light emitted from the solid state light source cells to be incident through multiple lens cells of a matrix pattern and one emission face composing the light incident from the N incidence faces and a dichroic filter that is obliquely arranged on the incidence faces inside the multiple lens block and selectively reflects or transmits incident light based on the incident light wavelength. Light distribution characteristics and color temperature of light exiting the emission face of the multiple lens block are controlled by a ratio of power supplied to the solid state light source cells.

  • Patent number: 10598363
    Abstract: Disclosed is a lighting fixture (200) with a separately controllable set of LED-based light sources (102) configurable to create both downlighting and wall-washing lighting effects. To create the desired wall-washing effects, the intensity and angle of light sources in the lighting fixture are adjusted to individually illuminate different portions of the wall of surface. One set of LED-based light sources positioned along the edge of the ceiling tile is configured to emit a low intensity light beam toward the upper portion of the wall surface adjacent the ceiling. Another set of LED-based light sources emits a higher intensity light beam toward an intermediate portion of the wall surface. Another set of LED-based light sources emits an even higher intensity light beam toward the bottom portion of the wall surface.

  • Patent number: 10578263
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an artificial candle lamp, including an artificial flame hood and a light-emitting component which emits light in the flame hood. The light-emitting component is disposed on an upper bracket; a lower bracket is disposed below the upper bracket; an elastic component is disposed between the upper bracket and the lower bracket; an inductance solenoid coil is disposed in the middle of the lower bracket; and a ferromagnet which extends into the inductance solenoid coil is disposed at a lower part of the upper bracket. In the technical solution, the elastic component is used to buffer the flicker generated by an electromagnetic force to form a random and gradually-attenuated flicker process, thereby effectively enhancing a simulation effect of flame flicker of the artificial candle lamp and improving use experience of a user.

  • Patent number: 10563856
    Abstract: A heat dissipation structure (2) for a lighting device (1) is provided. The heat dissipation structure comprises at least two separate heat sinks (20, 10) for a light source (3) and a driver (7) for the light source, respectively. Each heat sink comprises fins (11, 21, 22) and a wall arrangement (15, 25). The at least two separate heat sinks are disposed along an axial direction of the lighting device. The fins of the at least two separate heat sinks are enclosed by the wall arrangements to form a chimney structure (30) arranged along (such as substantially parallel with) the axial direction of the lighting device. Further, the chimney structure comprises at least two sub-chimney structures (31, 32) arranged fluidly in parallel. The sub-chimney structures provide (accelerate) two air flows in parallel within the chimney structure, whereby cool air flows through the two sub-chimney structures simultaneously, which reduces heat concatenation.
