Patent number: 10955124Abstract: A linkable linear light emitting diode (LED) system provides apparatus and methods for mechanically, optically, and electrically linking multiple LED modules disposed over a wide and separated area of a ceiling system. Openings can be cut in ceiling tiles of a drop ceiling system and the LED lighting modules are coupled to the tile through the opening, with the tile being sandwiched between different portions of the module. A remote driver system is placed within the drop ceiling above the tiles and provides multiple connectors for powering a multitude of lighting modules. Certain of the LED lighting modules include both input and output connectors for both receiving power or data and providing power or data to other modules. In this manner, some of the modules act as master LED lighting modules and those receiving power and/or data therefrom are act as slave modules.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: SIGNIFY HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Anthony James Carney, Chun Wah Chan, Jerold Alan Tickner, Christopher Lee Bohler, Kenneth Walma

Patent number: 9587814Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) module having a configurable LED substrate capable of receiving varying numbers and layouts of LEDs are described herein. The LED substrate includes LED coupling points for receiving the LEDs and electrical traces etched into the substrate for routing power to the LEDs. The LED module can include a multi-LED over-optic having multiple over-optics that are configured to match the number and configuration of the LEDs positioned on the substrate. The LED coupling points and over-optics can be arranged symmetrically to enable the LED module to be rotated to adjust the light output distribution and direction. The LED module can include a power connection mechanism, for example located at the center of the substrate, that also allows the LED module to be rotated. One or more of the LED modules may be mounted on a heat sink and incorporated into a light fixture.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2016Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: COOPER TECHNOLOGIES COMPANYInventors: Anthony James Carney, Chun Wah Chan, Gregg Arthur Lehman, Ellis Patrick, Christopher Ladewig, Timothy Glen Wright, Christopher Michael Bryant, Victor Diegues

Patent number: 9518706Abstract: A linear light emitting diode (“LED”) light fixture includes LED modules that interface with one another to provide a substantially continuous array of LED's. This continuous array allows for substantially uniform light output from the LED light fixture. The LED modules can interface with one another via one or more connectors, which allow two or more LED modules to be electrically and mechanically coupled together. The connectors may be disposed beneath the LED's so that the connectors are not visible when the LED modules are coupled together. The connectors may be disposed along opposite ends of the modules to allow for end-to-end configurations of the modules and/or along side ends of the modules to allow for angled or curved configurations of the modules. The LED modules can be powered via one or more wires, magnets, or clips, which are coupled to a power source.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2014Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Chun Wah Chan, Anthony James Carney, Jerold Alan Tickner
