Publication number: 20130003369Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes a LED module provided at the central side of a chassis and a reflection sheet reflecting light emitted from the LED module. The LED module emits light to the outer edge portion of the chassis and then the light is reflected on the reflection sheet to perform illumination so that glare can be reduced. Then, the light emitted from the LED module is reflected on the reflection sheet in many directions so that a substantially uniform illuminated light with less illumination unevenness can be achieved. The LED module is not arranged at the outer edge portion of the chassis so that moment acting on the chassis can be reduced. Therefore, the deformation of chassis can be prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2011Publication date: January 3, 2013Inventors: Jun Hiraoka, Ken Ueda, Tsutomu Satoh, Masanori Morigami

Publication number: 20130003388Abstract: The present invention relates to a light collector for collecting light emitted by a light source and converting the collected light into a light beam. The light collector comprises a central lens part aligned along an optical axis of the light source where the central lens comprises a central entrance surface and a central exit surface. The light collector also has a peripheral lens part surrounding at least of part of the central lens. The peripheral lens comprises a that said central lens and said peripheral lens is mutual adapted to convert said light emitted by said light source into a common light beam having a substantial circular and rotationally symmetric cross sectional light distribution, where said common light beam comprises said first light beam part and said second light beam part.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2010Publication date: January 3, 2013Applicant: MARTIN PROFESSIONAL A/SInventors: Thøger Jensen, Jesper Gadegaard, Dennis Jørgensen

Publication number: 20130003387Abstract: Disclosed is a lamp, which includes a luminous body, a power generating device, and a reflective body. The luminous body is utilized to emit light. The power generating device is utilized to generate power which is outputted through an outlet means. The reflective body, floating above the outlet means by the power, reflects the light of the luminous body to form an unexpected dynamic lighting effect. Moreover, a variation of the light can be changed by replacing the reflective body, such as a ball, or changing the strength of the power.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2012Publication date: January 3, 2013Applicant: National Taiwan University of Science and TechnologyInventors: Shen-guan Shih, Yu-Ren Ho, Li-Chen Hsu

Publication number: 20130003385Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, a flameless candle is claimed, depicted, and described. The candle has a hollow interior region, an inner surface having an radius, and an outer surface having an outer radius. The candle also has a riser located within the hollow interior region. A lamp (e.g., LED) is also located in the interior region and above the riser. A light shield is located within the hollow interior region. The light shield is below the lamp and has an outer bound with a radius. The light shield also has a sloped portion. The light shield may have a reflector. The radius of the outer bound of the light shield is less than the radius of the inner surface of the candle shell. The sloped portion of the light shield slopes downwardly towards the outer bound.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2011Publication date: January 3, 2013Inventors: Mathieu Chartrand, Bernard Fournier
