Patent number: 8388174Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting arrangement (1) for illuminating an area under mesopic conditions. The lighting arrangement has one or more LEDs (6) emitting substantially monochromatic light in a first wavelength region. The lighting arrangement further has one or more LEDs emitting (8) substantially-monochromatic light in a second wavelength region. Aforementioned combination of LEDs is such that, in use, the light provided by the lighting arrangement has an S/P-ratio greater than 2.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2008Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Lemnis Lighting Patent Holding B.V.Inventor: Johannes Otto Rooymans

Patent number: 8212494Abstract: The invention relates to a dimmer triggering circuit (12) for triggering a dimmer in an alternating current network. The dimmer has a voltage-level detector (15), and a bipolar current source circuit (18). The voltage-level detector (15) detects whether an absolute value of an input voltage of the dimmer triggering circuit is below a threshold value. The bipolar current source circuit (18) provides a current if the voltage detected by the voltage-level detector (15) is below the threshold value. If the voltage detected is not below the threshold value, the bipolar current source circuit is deactivated. The dimmer triggering circuit (12), in operation, dissipates an average power less than 100 mW.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Lemnis Lighting Patents Holding B.V.Inventor: André Veltman

Publication number: 20110148313Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling an LED load. First an input voltage is supplied to an inductive element. Subsequently, a current is drawn through the inductive element for a first predetermined time period. Finally, a current is supplied from the inductive element to a first terminal of the LED load during a second time period. The first predetermined time is controlled to maintain a predetermined average current through the LED load.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2009Publication date: June 23, 2011Applicant: LEMNIS LIGHTING PATENT HOLDING B.V.Inventor: Antonius Everardus Theodorus Ramaker

Patent number: 7909479Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting arrangement for illuminating a surface. The lighting arrangement has a supporting element and a lighting unit (1) which is supported by the supporting element. The lighting unit (1) has a housing (2) which is designed to accommodate a solid-state light source (4). The housing is also transparent on at least one side. The solid-state light source (4) is suitable for generating light having wavelengths from a first wavelength region and a second wavelength region. The first wavelength region comprises wavelengths of 500-550 nm. The second wavelength region comprises wavelengths of 560-610 nm. The lighting unit (1) is designed to generate light having a dominant wavelength from the first wavelength region in such a way that the eye sensitivity of the human eye is dominated by rods.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2006Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Lemnis Lighting Patent Holding B.V.Inventor: Johannus Otto Rooymans

Patent number: 7911118Abstract: The invention relates to a heat sink (1) for cooling a light element. The heat sink (1) has a thermally conducting inner part (2) suitable for accommodating the light element. The heat sink (1) additionally has a thermally conducting outer part (3) which encloses the inner part in at least one plane. The at least one light element is galvanically shielded from the thermally conducting inner part. The inner part (2) and the outer part (3) can be joined to one another via at least one thermally conducting bridging link (4) in such a way that there is at least one opening (5) between the inner part (2) and the outer part (3).Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2006Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Lemnis Lighting Patent Holding B.V.Inventor: Johannus Otto Rooymans
