Patent number: 11609039Abstract: An LED lighting array system includes discrete lighting modules spatially arrayed along a support member to provide illumination of items within a display case. The modules have a low overall height that results in them being mounted in a low-profile configuration at various locations along the support member. The modules include a housing with opposed first and second sets of side apertures, a plurality of internal reflecting surfaces associated with the apertures, respectively, an external lens, a multi-sided light engine and a group of side-emitting LEDs. During operation, a first portion of light generated by the side-emitting LEDs is discharged through apertures and the lens into the cooler to illuminate contents therein, while a second portion of light generated by the side-emitting LEDs is redirected by the reflecting surface through said apertures and the lens into the cooler.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: ElectraLED, Inc.Inventors: James Thomas, Vladimir Volochine

Patent number: 8896207Abstract: The present invention is directed to a fluorescent light fixture assembly including a ballast and a novel lighting element that includes an array of LEDs and at least one converter module that enables the existing ballast providing an AC power input to supply DC power to the LED array. The lighting element includes a body that contains the LED array and the converter modules and shares the configuration of the lighting element that is to be retrofitted. The lighting element receives power from the pre-existing ballast, wherein the converter module provides a constant current source to power the LED array. Thus, the lighting element, including the converter module, replaces the conventional fluorescent light tube in a cost-effective retrofit manner with the existing ballast.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2010Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: ElectraLED Inc.Inventors: James Thomas, Gary Gatesman, James Mosier

Publication number: 20130128561Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-adjustable LED luminaire having an integrated active cooling system to minimize heat buildup and increase operating performance. The multi-adjustable LED luminaire can have a generally cylindrical configuration, or a generally spherical configuration, and is operably connected to an elongated track that supplies power to the luminaire. The LED luminaire includes an upper housing segment having a power supply, and a lower housing segment that includes the active cooling system and an LED light engine coupled to a heat sink. The active cooling systems draws ambient air into a rearward portion of the housing and forces air over the heat sink and LED light engine. A power distribution PCB of the cooling system monitors the temperature of the heat sink and can adjust power delivery to the LED based upon the temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2012Publication date: May 23, 2013Applicant: ELECTRALED, INC.Inventor: ELECTRALED, INC.
