  • Publication number: 20130141635
    Abstract: An illumination source for a camera includes one or more LEDs, and an electrical circuit that selectively applies power from the DC voltage source to the LEDs, wherein the illumination source is suitable for handheld portable operation. In some embodiments, the electrical circuit further includes a control circuit for driving the LEDs with electrical pulses at a frequency high enough that light produced has an appearance to a human user of being continuous rather than pulsed, the control circuit changing a pulse characteristic to adjust a proportion of light output having the first characteristic color spectrum output to that having the second characteristic color spectrum output. Some embodiments provide an illumination source including a housing including one or more LEDs; and a control circuit that selectively applies power from a source of electric power to the LEDs, thus controlling a light output color spectrum of the LEDs.

  • Patent number: 8405314
    Abstract: A tubular LED light source, based on a tube manufactured in a heat conducting material (1). The LED's (2) are mounted on a part of the outer surface of the tube. Thereby they conduct their heat to the tube, which transfers the heat to the surroundings by cooling fins (6) located on the other part of the outer surface of the tube. Inside the tube the control electronic (7) is placed. It is electrically connected with the LED's on the outer surface of the tube, and with connectors (10) in each end of the tube. The connectors makes it possible to install the light source in existing fluorescent tube fittings, as a direct replacement for fluorescent tubes. There is vacuum (20) inside the tube, so that no damaging condensed water is generated in cold environments. The control electronics can turn on/off and adjust the light level from LED's, and adjust the color components (RGB) of the light. Hereby different color temperatures can be generated.
