Abstract: A light emitting package (8, 8?, 8?, 208, 408) includes a printed circuit board (10, 10?, 10?, 210, 410) supporting at least one light emitting die (12, 12?, 14, 16, 212, 412). A light transmissive cover (60, 60?, 60?, 260, 460) is disposed over the at least one light emitting die. The cover has an open end defining a cover perimeter (62, 62?, 62?, 262, 462) connected with the printed circuit board. An inside surface of the cover together with the printed circuit board defines an interior volume (70, 70?, 270, 470) containing the at least one light emitting die. An encapsulant (76, 76?, 276, 278, 476) is disposed in the interior volume and covers at least the light emitting die.

Abstract: An illuminated sign (88) includes a flexible electrical power cord (100) including first and second parallel conductors (112, 114) surroundingly contained within an insulating sheath defining a constant separation distance between the parallel conductors (112, 114). A plurality of light emitting diode (LED) devices (102) are affixed to the cord (100). Each LED device (102) includes an LED (104) having a positive lead (130p) electrically communicating with the first parallel conductor (112) and a negative lead (130p) electrically communicating with the second parallel conductor (114). A stencil (92) defines a selected shape, and the electrical cord (100) is arranged on the stencil (92). Power conditioning electronics (210, 220) disposed away from the stencil (92) electrically communicate with the first and second parallel conductors (112, 114) of the electrical power cord (100). The power conditioning electronics (210, 220) power the LED devices (102) via the parallel conductors (112, 114).

Abstract: A string light engine includes a flexible power cord, a heat sink, an IDC terminal, a PCB, and an LED. The flexible power cord includes an electrical wire and an insulating material for the wire. The heat sink attaches to the power cord. The IDC terminal is inserted through the insulating material and electrically communicates with the wire. The PCB is at least partially received in the heat sink. The PCB includes a first surface having circuitry and a second surface opposite the first surface. The circuitry is in electrical communication with the IDC terminal. The second surface is abutted against a surface of the heat sink so that heat is transferred from the LED into the heat sink. The LED mounts to the first surface of the PCB and is in electrical communication with the circuitry.

Abstract: An LED light assembly includes a housing, an LED disposed in the housing, a heat dissipating structure and a fluid current generator. The LED is in thermal communication with the heat dissipating structure and includes a flow path surface. The fluid current generator is disposed in the housing to create a current over the flow path surface.

Abstract: A light emitting apparatus (8) includes one or more light emitting chips (10) that are disposed on a printed circuit board (12) and emit light predominantly in a wavelength range between about 400 nanometers and about 470 nanometers. The printed circuit board includes: (i) an electrically insulating board (14); (ii) electrically conductive printed circuitry (20); and (iii) an electrically insulating solder mask (22) having vias (24) through which the one or more light emitting chips electrically contact the printed circuitry. The solder mask (22) has a reflectance of greater than 60% at least between about 400 nanometers and about 470 nanometers.
