  • Patent number: 10520140
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a substrate structure for LED lighting, the structure being capable of improving the hemispherical intensity distribution of a lighting device in which an LED is used, thereby improving the light efficiency of the lighting device. The substrate structure includes a first substrate for mounting a first LED thereon and three second substrates, each for mounting a second LED thereon. The second substrates are coupled to the first substrate such that the second substrates are perpendicular to the first substrate and are arranged at an angular interval which is within a range of 115° to 125° with respect to each other in a cross-sectional view taken parallel to the first substrate.

  • Patent number: 10327314
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for integrated remote control of wireless lighting devices and wireless electric/electronic devices in a wireless network environment. In the wireless network environment, a management server transmits a lighting control command and a device control command for individually driving and controlling wireless lighting devices and wireless electric/electronic devices to the wireless lighting devices on a main wireless node (i.e., first wireless node) over a communication network. Therefore, a user can wirelessly and remotely drive and control various wireless electric/electronic devices as well as wireless lighting devices through the management server without time and place constrains.
